Files said he shot Kennedy from behind the fence.
On whose behalf did he say that he pulled the trigger?
If he said he was alone ..that is pure bunk.
There were capable gunmen and accomplices behind the fence.
Enough mention has been made about that.
According to the Files confession, the JFK assassination was carried out by
Chicago mob hit man, Charles "Chuckie" Nicoletti on orders from boss Sam
Giancana. ".(Richard) Cain and Nicoletti were actual gunmen for the hit."
wrote Giancana's brother Chuck in his 1992 book Double Cross (pp. 334-335).
Files said the hit team originally was to be Nicoletti and mobster Johnny
Roselli. Files himself was only to have transported weapons to Dallas and
acted as driver. But, according to Files, Roselli arrived in Dallas early on
the morning of November 22, 1963, by means of a "military flight". Roselli
said the CIA had sent an "abort team" to Dallas to stop the assassination
and he declined to participate saying they would all be killed. Undaunted by
Roselli's fears, Nicoletti decided to move ahead with the carefully-laid
plans and so asked Files --- a man who had been his driver and confederate
in several other jobs --- to back him up. Many critics have questioned why
Files at such a young age and not being a "made" Mafia man would have been
included on something as important as the JFK assassination. This is a very
good question but it appears answered in this account of Files' last-minute
substitution after Roselli suddenly backed out, fearful of being killed by
an "abort team".
