Jim Garrison
Jim Garrison was a prominent American lawyer and the District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana, best known for his controversial investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Garrison gained national attention in the late 1960s when he pursued a conspiracy theory suggesting that the assassination was not the work of lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, but part of a larger plot involving elements within the CIA and organized crime. His efforts culminated in a high-profile trial in 1969 against businessman Clay Shaw, whom he accused of conspiring to assassinate Kennedy. Garrison's theories and methods were met with significant criticism, but his work has continued to influence discussions about the assassination and has been referenced in various media, including Oliver Stone's film 'JFK.'
