Oswald Letter May Point to Connally Target
A dated January 1961 letter from Lee Harvey Oswald found in Pentagon files raises questions whether Gov. John Connally was the primary target of the Dallas shooting or if President Kennedy was. Oswald asked for a reversal of his Marine discharge. Connally later denied Navy ties and Oswald’s guilt remains contested. Ballistics tests on the rifle were described as encouraging as prosecutors prepare for a mid January trial for the Kennedy death.
