Hi Andrew,

did they say they watched replays of the actual shooting?

What I think they may have meant was that they watched the assassination coverage during that period, which would have included almost endless replays of the arrival at Love Fields and parts of the motorcade. It probably also included many interviews with witnesses and police, along with replays of Oswald being shot and highlights from JFK's presidency.

My mom swears she saw the Kennedys at love field, the motorcade, and when she told me jack was slumped into jackies lap i was shocked. i asked if they saw the z-film, she said yes except the head shot, broadcast the same day or the day after.she also talked about other film of the assassination that where to fuzzy to see. My dad was in vietnam at the time but he said he seen it also, when or where he seen the film i don't recall.

There are reports of private showings in Dallas for some days following the asassination. Obviously the question in relation to that is where your Mother saw the film.

she said on t.v. replays of the assassantion,nbc, abc . i found it myself hard to beleive too. she said she watched cronkite cry and then later the replays of other films too. she recalls jfk raising hes arms and connally leaning to hes right after the first shots. i ask if she studied jfk, she said no.i asked her if she seen the z-film since 63-64 she said not that she remembers. she beleives lbj had something to do with what happened, and that was the day everyone lost confidence in the gov.
