Roger Craig's credibility has been debated on many forums over the years. As I've stated before, like most people thrust into a situation like that, Craig may have exaggerated things over the years. However, his critics ignore the fact, as Jim showed, that Craig (like several other witnesses) claimed that his testimony had been recorded inaccurately.
Given the track record of the FBI, Warren Commission and Dallas Police, I think we can attribute almost all of Craig's "changing" testimony to their dishonesty, and the general nature of the cover up. Certainly, someone strongly resembling Oswald was seen entering a Rambler after the assassination, as all those disparate witnesses attested to. Craig was surely right about that, and the photo in Jesse Curry's book verified that he had indeed been inside the room where Oswald was being interrogated.
I've read those communications from Craig's daughter. His nephew, Jerry, disputes that and remains a strong supporter of his uncle. In many of these cases, we find that close family members buy into the official lies as much as the rest of the sheeple do. Look at Robert Oswald.
Whatever personal demons Craig had, there is no denying the price he paid for being the only Dallas law enforcement officer to do his job that day. His career was ruined, there were multiple attempts on his life, and his car was blown up. If he really killed himself, he was driven to it. Like all of us, he was flawed, but in my mind he remains a hero.
