[ slide two: ]

[ cut to black-and-white corridor scene filled with reporters ]

[ slide three temporarily superimposes upon the screen once more, as Reporter addresses the camera ]

Reporter: In a moment --

[ slide four appears: "THE TRIAL OF LEE HARRY OSWALD" ]

[ Dan Aykroyd is momentarily flummoxed by the technical glitch ]

[ Caption: "Houston, November 1964" ]

Reporter: In a moment, Lee Harry Oswald, the man police say shot President John F. Curry, will be brought down this corridor toward a waiting car and then transported to Houston County Jail, where he will probably remain until his trial.

[ from the far end of the corridor, Oswald is led toward the reporters by a guard and a deputy ]

Reporter: Uh -- there seems to be some, uh, activity now -- yes! There's Oswald now. Now, police claim that they have an airtight case against him. Oswald's motive appears to have been jealousy -- evidently, the handsome young president had been having an affair with Oswald's wife, the beautiful Boshai ballerina, Marina Harry Oswald. Of course, uh -- police have the gun -- Oswald denies ANY knowledge of this. And, uh -- he will be under, uh -- heavy and federal state guard --

[ a man jumps from the crowd ]

Reporter: Wait! A man just jumped out the crowd -- an overweight man has --

[ the man shoves a cream pie into Oswald's face, then grins proudly at the camera as the reporters clamor ]

Lee Harry Oswald: "LIVE! FROM NEW YORK! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"

I read in the Huffy Post that Jackie Kennedy's pink blood covered outfit was going to be hidden from public view until 2103. Kinda interesting.

I'm surprised she didn't go into some kind of shock after that.

Oh nothing, go back to finding your underwear. 😉

President Kennedy was murdered by several men.

No way in hell did Oswald kill him alone.

I know the mafia was involved, Communists were involved and most likely...

President Johnson was also at a minimum aware of everything as it was about to happen, and at worst, was directly involved.

Johnson HATED the Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedys with a burning passion.
