Was Lee Harvey Oswald the only gunman to shoot JFK?

While I know that I'm just asking for it from the conspiracy theorists out there, and while I admit that the government GROSSLY mishandled the whole affair and there may very well have been a variety of cover-ups in regards to how the whole thing went down, there is sufficient physical evidence (through modern ballistics both in simulators and real-life duplications sans murder) that we can 100% say that Oswald was the only shooter. Why he did it and who (if anyone) put him up to it can still be debated. At this time the most likely explanation is that Oswald, who had an obsession about being famous and historical, killed Kennedy just to get noticed. It worked, possibly the first thing he had ever done right.

No, but he was arraigned for his murder of JFK, and Officer Tippet. After he was already dead, it was learned that he had also tried to shoot a general who lived in Dallas, but missed.

Given the vast amount of evidence, both physical, witnesses, and circumstantial, there is no real doubt of his guilt, especially since there has never been any physical evidence of anyone else being involved... and innocent men don't murder police officers during a getaway.

When Oswald ran form the Texas School Book depository, he didn't hide. He was stopped on the street.

He was seen by witnesses going in to a movie theater, where he was arrested.

He was arrested in possession of a .38 caliber revolver (which ballistics later matched to the bullet that killed Officer Tippit). He was arrested for the murder of Officer Tippit.

It was when he was taken to police headquarters, a group of employees of the Texas School Book Depository were there giving their statements as witnesses to the shooting in Dealey Plaza. They knew Oswald and pointed him out to police. Following up information from these witnesses, Oswald was formally charged with assassinating President Kennedy.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald mentaly ill?

No doctor diagnosed him as such, but his school counselors found him in need of help.

No one who beats his wife is mentally in good shape.

His neurotic need to become historic and famous was not exactly normal, either. Did you know he called his diary "Historic Diary"? After failing to become famous and historic by defecting to Russia... returning... trying to murder General Walker... organize a Fair Play for Cuba chapter that had more than just him in it...defect to Cuba... he finally found a way of getting noticed.

His final act on this Earth was to raise his handcuffed fist up by his head in the well-known Communist "Knuckle/Head" salute. Appropriate enough.
