14. Clay Shaw
While the Warren Commission established rather haphazardly that there was no conspiracy in the assassination of President Kennedy, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison was less than satisfied. He asserted that right wing extremists, including New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw, conspired to have the President assassinated and pin the blame on Castro. Shaw's arrest and subsequent trial remains to this day one of the strangest in the history of procedural law. The prosecution's star witness was Perry Russo, a New Orleans insurance agent who claims he overheard conversations between Shaw and New Orleans pilot David Ferrie on plans to have Oswald assassinate Kennedy and pin the blame on the Castro regime, but in an absolutely bizarre twist that would seem to come out of supernatural television shows, Russo was discovered to have been administered Sodium Pentathol by the prosecution. What's Sodium Pentathol, you might ask? We know it better by the street name "truth serum." The jury almost immediately found Shaw not guilty, and to this day Shaw remains the only person ever prosecuted for suspicion of conspiring to assassinate Jack Kennedy.
