Since 1963 the percentage of US citizens who believe there was a conspiracy to kill President John Kennedy has steadily risen to include three fourths of the population. That’s a staggering number; it’s hard to get 75% of the population to agree on anything. So the contentious issue is no longer whether or not there was a conspiracy but involves more specific details regarding who carried it out and who covered it up. The Parkland Hospital doctors who treated JFK all said the head shot came from the front right, which would be in the vicinity of the Grassy Knoll. The Warren Commission said Oswald did all of the shooting from the Book Depository behind Kennedy.

A piece of evidence surfaced in the 1980s that provides strong primary evidence of a shot from Kennedy’s right front. I refer to the enhanced photographic blowup that’s come to be known as “Badge Man.” The image derives from the famous Mary Moorman photo, a black and white picture taken by Ms. Moorman at the moment of the head shot. She was standing across the street from the motorcade facing the Grassy Knoll, where numerous witnesses heard shots and saw smoke immediately after the shooting.
The Badge Man image was first spotted by a researcher named Gary Mack, who thought he saw a face behind the fence but wasn’t sure. Keep in mind that the section in question is only about a quarter inch square. He consulted photographic expert and JFK researcher Jack White who blew up and eventually colorized the image which not only revealed someone dressed as a cop but another guy dressed in a hard hat. The image reveals someone in a police uniform wearing goggles and a badge. The hairline and forehead are clear and there appears to be a muzzle flash.

“What I was looking at, to a lot of people, may have been like looking at an ink blot or something, and suddenly I started to see eyes and ears and forehead and hair, and little by little the pieces of this image started to make sense to me, and that’s when I first called Jack,” Mack said.
The enhanced photo also proved the presence of Gordon Arnold, a military man who was already on record as having said shots were fired over his head when Kennedy was killed. When Arnold saw the Badge Man photograph for the first time during an interview conducted for Nigel Turner’s series, “The Men Who Killed Kennedy,” Arnold became very upset and said he wouldn’t have granted the interview had he known about the photo. At the time of the assassination someone dressed like a police officer kicked him and forced him to surrender his film.

Arnold, who was relocated to Alaska three days later, may have suspected that whoever had killed the president wouldn’t hesitate to kill him if they deemed it necessary. Considering that around fifty people with ties to the case did die under suspicious circumstances after the assassination, Arnold probably had a good point.
