I have seen many posts here accusing Dept. sherrif Roger Craig of being a liar a nutcase or troubled individual including a post supposedly by his daughter. Why is he so untrusted?.

At what point did he develop into the reviled figure I keep hearing about? When he refused to change his testimony about what he saw the day of the assassination.

But Gary how do you spread that to the masses from Dallas .They did not fire him for a couple of years but as his testimony starts to get published he is seen as a liar . He cannot be mistaken as he was a cop trained observer .Why lie?

He didn't lie. Since he would not change his testimony he had to be discredited. He was a well respected officer before the Kennedy assassination. On the day of the assassination, others said they saw the same things as he did, but later they knuckled under and changed their testimony to fit what the DPD/CIA/FBBI wanted. Remember, Craig was a decorated veteran of the DPD. He was named Man of the Year by the sheriff's office in 1960 and was promoted four times. They couldn't do just fire him. He had to be discredited and that takes time. He died from a gunshot would in 1975 that was called a suicide.

Sad but true .Its another part of the big jigsaw .There were NO heroes in this story I guess!

Here is a little more about Roger Craig...
Roger Craig had been named Officer of the Year by the Dallas Traffic Commission and he was promoted four times. He was to receive no further promotion or commendation after his refusal to withdraw his identification of the Mauser and admit to being wrong about his identification of the man who ran from the Depository to be picked up by the Rambler on Elm Street. For this he suffered the most dire consequences. Craig was forbidden to speak to reporters about these things and when, in 1967, he was caught doing so he was fired. Thereafter he spoke of a consciousness of being followed, and was fired at by an unknown assailant. The bullet came uncomfortably close and, in fact, grazed his head. He began receiving threats and, in 1973, his car was run off a mountain road causing him a back injury, the pain from which was to become a permanent feature of his life. On another occasion his car was bombed. His marriage broke up in 1973 as a consequence of the continuing harassment, which did not abate. In 1975 he was shot at and wounded in the shoulder by another unknown gunman. At the age of 39, Roger Craig, suffering from the stress of the constant back pains he endured and the financial pressures he encountered because of finding it difficult to get work, succumbed, they said, and committed suicide. They said.

Craig is the only who told that lie. Thing is, he didn't say this on 11/22/63.

Very interesting article...took me a while to read as I had some errands to do in between. Craig is a good example of what happens to those who try to buck the wrong people.
Gary, Roger Craig has been shown to be both a liar and a nut. You know me, I don't say that of all CT witnesses just because they are CT witnesses but in Craig's case you really are backing a lost cause mate.

Dennis,
Let me preface this with the a statement that I am not attempting to defend Craig or his claims. My question would be, when did he become a nut? When did he become a liar? If some of his claims are untrue does that make all of them untrue?
How many other officials/witnesses have been proven to have lied about events or evidence in the case? Should we discount all of their conributions also?
