People who went to jail over the JFK assassination


Recommended Posts

Oswald and Jack Ruby come to mind obviously. Donald Wayne House too for a few hours.

Robert Groden also comes to mind. He was put in jail at the DPD a few times i think, but not prison. Clay Shaw was put in a jail cell for a while. Dean Andrews was convicted of perjury, not sure if he was sent to prison though. Fred Ciacelli went to prison for a year cos of his JFK collection. 

 

Can you think of anyone else?

Well, OK, bit of a stretch, but...

E Howard Hunt did time after the Watergate burglaries. That is not really a connection, but fun to ponder....

That's a bit of a stretch. Unless JFKs brain was being held at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and Hunt was trying to get hold of it.

I forgot about Bolden. Its debatable if his prison time was connected to the JFK assassination though. But if it was, his thirty-nine months in prison would be longer than Rubys time in prison making Bolden the person to spend the most time in prison connected to the JFK assassination.

I don't know much about Joyce MacDonald.  

Sylvia Duran and Alvarado also saw the inside of a jail cell because of the assassination. Alvarado is notable as probably the only person actually tortured while in custody as a result of the assassination.

Not sure if Braden, arrested at the Dal-Tex building was ever put in a jail cell or simply brought to DPD HQ for questioning.

Conceded. Although some are investigating the links between the Watergate burglaries and the JFKA. 

Some contend both were CIA regime-change ops.
