Who was the man accused of killing JFK?

Answer 1

Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the shooting of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Some people dispute the belief that Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter.

The arguement against Lee Harvey Oswald as the shooter states that Kennedy's head moved back, giving the impression that one of the shots came from the front, not the rear. Some think there were multiple shooters as well. It is estimated there were up to four shooters with 2 to 3 of them hitting President Kennedy. Since JFK was only hit by two different bullets, it is hard to understand how three of them managed to hit him.

Some say Oswald was set up to take the fall and be silenced; that Jack Ruby was allowed to shoot Oswald dead to quell any more information about the wider conspiracy. There were several witnesses who claimed to have heard shots from behind the wall and the grassy knoll among other vantage points.

The arguement for Lee Harvey Oswald being the shooter states that JFK's head exploded forward and to the right, causing a twisting motion back and to the left as that was the only way it could go, according to Newton's Laws of Motion.

Oswald murdered a police officer, and tried to shoot the arresting officers, an odd thing for an innocent man to do. There were people who later claimed they heard shots coming from other places. But the vast bulk of witnesses heard the shots from Oswald's direction. The other witnesses may have heard an echo instead of noticing the actual shots... or they may have enjoyed the attention, and perhaps money, they got for saying what some people wanted to hear. Oswald held up his own transfer, or would have been gone long before Jack Ruby showed up. He wanted to be famous and historical, and nothing else he had tried, including another attempt to assassinate a public figure, had worked.

Answer 2

The main suspect in the Kennedy assassination was Lee Harvey Oswald.

The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald was the assassin.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald was an assassin, but that there was a 95% certainty that there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll.

Other researchers have theorized that Oswald was not the assassin. Other possible assassins include Malcolm Wallace, James Files, and Gerry Patrick Hemmings.

Some of the forces that researchers have said to be involved with the assassination include the C.I.A., the mafia, the military-industrial complex, and Lyndon Johnson.

Answer 3

No one was ever convicted of this crime.

Oswald, who was clearly guilty, was arraigned for murdering Kennedy and Officer Tippet, but was killed by Jack Ruby before he could be tried. Ironically, if Oswald hadn't dawdled, he'd have been gone before Ruby entered the building.
