  •  Johnny Roselli (none / 0)

    Bill Bonanno, in his book Bound By Honor and other places, definitely has Johnny Roselli as the main trigger man.  Read here:

    One day while I was sitting in the yard, with a number of other inmates, Johnny Roselli, out of Chicago, was very upset, infuriated in fact, about the treatment that he was being given by his people in Chicago. One of this group had made a remark about Jack Ruby, and Johnny made the statement that "Jack was a lot more loyal than that (expletive) Sam." Whether or not it actually happened the way it was related to me, I don't know I do know this: That Johnny Roselli told me that he was the shooter in the sewer below the grassy knoll. And that there were others that were backups behind the wall of the grassy knoll. They were Frenchmen. I've been asked many times whether I believe him, and I irrevocably believe him, because I have known Johnny for a long time. I know the type of person he was, and there would not be any purpose of him saying it if it were not true. Because he knew the people that he was talking with that day in the Yard. It was not a long gunman. In reality, Lee Harvey Oswald was the fall guy.

    Don't know for sure, but I did read the book a few years back, and it's a good read.  The Roselli stuff is right near the end.
