The New York Times reported on September 9th:
J.F.K. Assassination Witness Breaks His Silence and Raises New Questions
The account of Paul Landis, one of the Secret Service agents just feet away from John F. Kennedy when he was struck down, could change the understanding of what happened in Dallas in 1963.
------------------------------------------
Mr. Landis is 88 years old. He has a book coming out, where he tells what he remembers.
Another one.
These people give me no peace.
He is from the Cleveland, Ohio suburb, Shaker Heights -- 17 miles away from the town where my mother grew up, and 39 miles away from Akron where my dad was from. "The old neighborhood."

While it's a bit mysterious why Mr. Landis waited until now to tell his story (and 6 decades can cloud accuracy), I don't think the man's eyewitness account should be disregarded.
The number of people who accompanied JFK that day is obviously now dwindling to a tiny handful of survivors. Each of them saw something horrific.
That Landis' account conflicts with the conventional wisdom isn't damning, but maybe provides some extra details previously overlooked.
In the end, the Leader of the Free World was murdered in front of a crowd of onlookers in barbaric fashion, and the world was never the same.
