Succes 2010: Mary Ann Moorman, martor cheie la asasinarea preşedintelui american John F Kennedy. O fotografie Polaroid pentru istorie

Mary Ann Moorman (born August 5, 1932 (1932-08-05) (age 78)) was a witness to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. She is best known for her photograph capturing the presidential limousine a fraction of a second after the fatal shot.


On November 22, 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

Moorman was standing on grass about 2 feet (61 cm) south of the south curb of Elm Street in Dealey Plaza, directly across from the grassy knoll and the North Pergola concrete structure that Abraham Zapruder and his assistant Marilyn Sitzman were standing on, during the assassination. Moorman stated that she stepped off from the grass onto the street to take her Polaroid photo. Zapruder is seen standing on the pergola in the Moorman photograph, with the presidential limousine already having passed through the line of sight between Zapruder and Moorman.





Moorman was standing only 20 feet (6 m) behind and to the left of President Kennedy with her friend, Jean Hill, and they are clearly seen in many frames of the Zapruder film.

Between Zapruder film frames Z-315 and 316, approximately one sixth of a second after President Kennedy's head was shattered at frame Z-313, Moorman took a Polaroid photograph (her fifth that day) of the presidential limousine and President Kennedy that also includes the grassy knoll area.





What was captured in the background of the photo has been a matter of contentious debate. On the grassy knoll, some claim to have identified as many as four different figures, while others dismiss these indistinct images as trees or shadows. Most often a figure is identified as the "badge man" because the figure is supposedly a uniformed police officer. Others claim to see Gordon Arnold, a man who claimed to have filmed the assassination from that area, a man in a construction hard hat, and a hatted man behind the picket fence.





Moorman stated she heard a shot as the limousine passed her, then heard another shot or two after the president's head first exploded. She stated that she could not determine where the shots came from, and that she saw no one in the area that appeared to have possibly been the assassin. Moorman was interviewed by the Dallas County Sheriff's Department and the FBI. She was called by the Warren Commission to testify, but due to a sprained ankle, she was unable to be questioned. She was never contacted by them again.

Mary Ann Moorman este un martor al asasinarii presedintelui american John F Kennedy. A devenit celebra datorita faptului ca a facut o poza Polaroid limuzinei prezidentiale, de la 6 metri distanta, la o fractiune de secunda dupa ce Kennedy a fost impuscat.
Mrs. Mary Ann, ajunsa la 78 de ani, incearca acum sa vanda faimoasa fotografie Polaroid intr-o licitatie pe eBay, pretul cerut fiind $225.00 USD. Asa cum mi-a relatat intr-o scrisoare pe care mi-a trimis-o impreuna cu fotografiile semnate, doreste sa vanda fotografia pentru a avea bani sa calatoreasca prin lume. Fotografia a trezit controverse majore, fiind studiata si astazi de catre adeptii teoriei conspiratiei. Unii sustin ca pe fundalul neclar se pot observa presupuse personaje care ar fi putut face parte dintr-un posibil complot.
