Jim Garrison
From The Kennedy Assassination Resource
Earling Carothers Garrison (November 20, 1921 - October 21, 1992)
Changed his first name to simply Jim in the early 1960s. He was the Democratic of Orleans Parish, Louisiana from 1962 to 1973.
Garrison remains a controversial figure; opinions differ as to whether he uncovered the actual conspiracy behind the John F. Kennedy assassination but was blocked from successful prosecution by federal government coverup, whether he bungled his chance to uncover the truth of the conspiracy, or whether the entire case was a wild goose chase motivated by Garrison's alleged desire for publicity.
