 Really interesting interview, he was in Pearl Harbor as well as hand cuffed to Osawald when Ruby shot him.
Later worked as an adviser to Stone for that movie he did on JFK .

On December 7, 1941, Jim Leavelle was aboard the USS Whitney when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, serving in the U.S. Navy through World War II. Twenty-two years later, he would be front row at one of history's pivotal moments once again as a homicide detective for the Dallas Police Department when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Yes, really interesting !  Details on sailors going to liberty at Pearl, details of the Oswald shooting from his perspective.

Well worth 20 minutes to watch.
