One of the strangest aspects of the JFK assassination is the role of Harry Connick Jr.'s father, Harry Connick Sr, who served as the district attorney of New Orleans for nearly three decades. As DA, he made some very questionable decisions with the JFK assassination research material he inherited from Jim Garrison, who was New Orleans DA before Connick. Connick also played a key role in the Dino Cinel Catholic Church controversy from the early 1990s. The fact that Connick's son Harry Connick Jr. went on to became a big star in Hollywood is very "coincidental."
