Six decades later, new details are still coming to light in one of the most scrutinised events in American history: the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Paul Landis, an 88-year-old former Secret Service agent who witnessed the president's death at close range, says in new memoir that he took a bullet from the car after Mr Kennedy was shot, and then left it on the former president's stretcher at the hospital. It might seem like a minute detail in a case that has been pored over since the 1960s, and for which the government laid out an exhaustive report. But to individuals who have spent decades looking at every shred of evidence, Mr Landis's account is a major and unexpected development. Conspiracies over how many gunmen were involved, who was ultimately responsible, and how many bullets actually struck the president have abounded in the decades since the assassination. The idea that the true facts of the case differ from the official version is modern America's original conspiracy theory, and according to some historians, the killing instigated the nation's decaying trust in its government. Depending on how one looks at it, Mr Landis's story either changes nothing or everything. His book The Final Witness is guaranteed to add more kindling to the never-ending national obsession with the assassination. "This is really the most significant news in the assassination since 1963," said James Robenalt, a historian and Kennedy expert who worked with Mr Landis to prepare him for his public revelations.New details in an old case The primary facts of the Kennedy assassination are, by this point, well known and established. On 22 November 1963, a convertible carrying President Kennedy, First Lady Jackie Kennedy, and Texas Governor John Connally Jr and his wife was driving through Dealey Plaza in Dallas when a series of shots rang out. Mr Kennedy was struck in the head and neck, and Mr Connally was hit in the back. Authorities rushed both to nearby Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Mr Kennedy was declared dead. The governor survived. The Warren Commission report, the result of a government inquiry into the killing, identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the sole gunman. Ballistics evidence helped confirm this conclusion. He was shot and killed shortly after the assassination while in police custody. The report also concluded that a single bullet travelled through Mr Kennedy and hit Mr Connally and caused several injuries, which helps explain how one gunman carried out the attack. The finding became known as the "single bullet theory" or "magic bullet theory". The commission partly relied on the fact that a bullet had later been found on Mr Connally's hospital gurney. At the time, nobody knew where it had come from. But the committee ultimately concluded that the bullet had become dislodged as doctors raced to treat Mr Connally. Some sceptics of the official report have long fixated on the single bullet, finding it difficult to believe that it could have caused as many injuries as it did to two separate men. Mr Landis's account has landed like a bombshell not only because it provides a new first-hand testimony but because, in some views, it complicates the theory of the single bullet.What Paul Landis remembers On the day of the assassination, Mr Landis, then 28, was detailed to Jackie Kennedy. When the violence began, he was just feet away from President Kennedy and witnessed the gruesome blow to his head. Then came absolute pandemonium. What Mr Landis did next, he told no one but a few confidants for decades. When the violence began, he was just feet away from President Kennedy and witnessed the gruesome blow to his head.
