James Earl Files (born January 24, 1942), also known as James Sutton, is an American former prisoner and convicted felon. In 1994, while serving a 50-year sentence for the 1991 attempted murders of two police officers, Files gave interviews stating that he was the "grassy knoll shooter" in the 1963 assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. He said he took one shot at Kennedy with a Remington XP-100 "fireball" gun, which was the final, fatal, head shot which caused Kennedy to jerk violently back and to the left. Files has subsequently been interviewed by others and discussed in multiple books pertaining to the assassination and related theories. In 1994, the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated Files' allegation and found it "not credible". In 2010, Files also implicated Charles Nicoletti and John Roselli in the assassination of Kennedy.
