Sergio Arcacha Smith is a Cuban exile and, in the early 1960s, was head of the New Orleans chapter of the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front, an anti-Castro group, known in Spanish as the Frente Revolucionario Democrático (FRD).[1][2] Arcacha Smith had served under Castro's predecessor, the military ruler, Fulgencio Batista.[3] He was to appear at the Trial of Clay Shaw in New Orleans, Louisiana, but fled to Texas. Texas Governor John Connally, himself a victim of gunfire in the Kennedy assassination, refused to extradite Arcacha Smith to Louisiana for the trial. Jim Garrison continued his prosecution without Arcacha Smith's testimony.[4]
