Episode 143 - The End of Innocence - James Files "Storyteller or Assassin?"

Was James Files telling the truth? Or was he weaving one of the most elaborate stories in the history of the Kennedy assassination? In this episode of **The End of Innocence**, we're not going to decide whether James Files was the assassin. Instead, we're going to do what every good investigator should do—we're going to examine the evidence. We'll compare Files' first prison interview from the early 1990s with his extensive 2003 prison interview. Did his story change over those ten years? Did he contradict himself? Or did the core of his account remain remarkably consistent? We'll examine what stayed the same, what expanded, what—if anything—changed, and what those differences might tell us about the credibility of his extraordinary claims. Because consistency alone doesn't prove someone is telling the truth—but inconsistency can certainly raise questions. So join me as we take a careful, objective look at one of the most controversial confessions in JFK assassination history. I'm John R. Young, and this is **The End of Innocence**.
