Richard Case Nagell
On 20 Sep 1963, Richard Case Nagell walked into a bank in El Paso, Texas. He fired two shots into the wall near the ceiling, walked back out to his car, and waited to be arrested. [1]
Three days after being appointed as District Court Judge, Thornberry presided over Nagell’s first hearing.
When Nagel mentioned the name of Oswald, Thornberry cut him off by saying that he ruled that he was “competent to stand trial” and announced that the “court is now adjourned”.[4]
At the next hearing on 10th April, 1964, Richard Case Nagell asked if “all FBI reports and data which is pertinent to the charge against me for attempted bank robbery be subpoenaed for my trial”. Thornberry immediately denied the request and the trial began on 4th May. Found guilty, Nagel was sentenced to ten years in prison.[4]
Subsequently, Nagell would claim he was a double (or triple) agent of U.S. and the KGB, that he knew LHO and was monitoring the JFK assassination plot which involved Cuban exiles, and that he had been ordered to kill LHO to prevent the plot from being carried out. [2]
He also maintained that he had sent a registered letter to FBI Director Hoover, warning him of the plot.[2]
Died one day after the Assassination Records Review Board sent him a registered later on the 31st October 1995. Found dead in his apartment.[2]
Died 1 Nov 1995 (Aligns with ARRB), from Heart Disease. Age 65. Event + 31y11m10d (11,667 Days)
