I hope a lot of you have had a chance to check out the new JFK Video site on myfoxdfw.

  It's been a big hit with web users already and we've just begun to add vintage video from that fateful weekend in 1963 and decades of assassination stories since. 

Today we add another really interesting element -- a jailhouse interview with Charles Harrelson, convicted hitman and father of actor Woody Harrelson.  The inteview was done in 1982 by Channel 4 reporter Quin Mathews and it's the only extensive TV interview Harrelson ever did.  When Harrelson was cornered by police in West Texas, wanted for the murder of a federal judge in San Antonio he blurted out something about having killed president Kennedy.  He later claimed it was just a lie he told to keep the police officers from shooting him. 

We'll run a preview package on Fox4 News at 6pm and you can find the longer Harrelson interview on the web now.

You should also find the hospital room interview done at Parkland Hospital with Gov. Connally just days after the assassination (in which he was seriously wounded) on the website before the day is out.  With luck I'll add a bunch more on Wednesday.  Keep checking back.  You can find hours worth of fascinating historical stuff on their now.  Hours more to come.
