JFK à Parkland

WilliamAutre segment intéressant de l'interview de Nellie Connally, ses souvenirs concernant le départ précipité de Parkland du corps de JFK. A noter que King, qui a interrogé le medical examiner, confirme aussi que le cadavre a bien été enlevé par la force :

CONNALLY: To tell me what was going on. And, otherwise, I was there just starkly alone. Well, there was a knock on the door. And I said, come in. And Lady Bird came in.

KING: The wife of the vice president.

CONNALLY: And she just opened her arms and I just flew into them. And I cried and cried and cried, which I hadn't done until then. And she said, Nellie, I'd like to stay, but they want Lyndon to get back to Washington as quickly as possible, and we have to go. And I said, go on. And then Lady Bird and Lyndon and Jackie were flying back.

KING: And they put the body in a car and took that too, with the Dallas medical examiner chasing the body.

CONNALLY: Yes.

KING: And he was right. You weren't supposed to remove -- that was not a federal crime then. So they removed the body of a murder victim.

CONNALLY: I don't know how they could hold him.

KING: I know. There was -- I interviewed the examiner of Texas.

La police de Dallas a même escorté l'ambulance transportant le cerceuil vers Love Field...
