Jack Ruby

Jack Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald. This was two days after John F. Kennedy died at Oswald's hand. He said he committed the murder out of distress caused by the president's death. Ruby had connections to organized crime. This led to many theories that Oswald's murder was part of a larger conspiracy.

Was Jack Ruby with Mafia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He was Jewish. He would never qualify to be a member of the mafia which accepted full blooded Italians only.........at least at that time in history. Old school mafia, (which were in power at that time) were sticklers for observing the rules of omerta. If he was involved with them at all, he would have been considered an "associate".

Who was Jack Ruby and why did he murder Oswald?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jack Ruby was a nighclub (read strip joint) operator who claimed that he killed Lee Harvey Oswald to spare Jackie Kennedy the pain of a long and complex jury trial where she would probably be called as a witness for the prosecution.

That chivalrous action on his part led to a host of new conspiracy theories that included the Mafia and a stash of unsavory La Cosa Nostra "want to be's."

What motive did Ruby have for shooting Oswald?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jack Ruby stated that he shot Oswald to spare Jacqueline Kennedy a trip to testify in the murder trial. But later he said that there was no reasoning behind the killing, and it was just a spur of the moment thing.

Conspiracy theorists suggest that Ruby shot Oswald so that he wouldn't talk and expose a conspiracy to kill the president. Oswald did suggest in his one comment that he was a "patsy," that he was being framed. Over the years since 1963, investigators have variously linked the alleged plot to the CIA, to Richard Nixon, and/or to the Mafia.

What punishment did Jack Ruby receive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In March of 1964 Jack Ruby was convicted of murder with malice and sentenced to death. However, his conviction and sentence were overturned in October of 1966 because an appellate court agreed with his lawyers that his change of venue request before his original trial, in which they argued that he could not receive a fair trial in Dallas due to the publicity of the case, should have been granted. A retrial was scheduled for February of 1967. But Ruby, who believed that powerful people he claimed had framed him to kill Oswald were out to kill him and that he had been injected with cancer cells, was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, lungs and brain in December of 1966. He died three weeks later.

Why did Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswalt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Oswald and Ruby discussed going in on a land deal together. Financing was arranged but at the last minute Oslwald

got cold feet and backed out of the deal. Ruby was furious but after a few months the two got back on fairly friendly terms. Then Oswald visited a strip club run by Ruby. Apparently there was an argument between the two men though it is not clear what the topic of disagreement was. Oswald remained at the club and began to "put the moves" on Ruby's favorite stripper (it is not clear if Oswald did this to spite Ruby or if it was just coincidence). Regardless, Oswald ended up taking the stripper home with him that night and I think we all know what went down between them. Anyways, it is reported that Ruby vowed he was going to "teach that guy (Oswald) a lesson." You know the rest I assume.

(Actually, there is no evidence that Ruby and Oswald knew each other, but it was a fun story, wasn't it?)

Some Believe that Jack Ruby was one of many people that made a plan to kill JFK and when Lee Harvey Oswald was caught, Ruby didn't want Oswald to say anything saying he was in the job to kill JFK, so Jack Ruby snuck

into the Police station grabbed a gun from one of the officers holster and shot Oswald.

(Actually, he used his own pistol, and if Oswald had not stalled, he'd have been gone long before Ruby even showed up. So if there was a conspiracy on this point, Oswald was in on it! And there has never been reason to think Oswald did not act alone. It was, after all, a one-man

job.)

Actually as they were escorting Oswald from the building he was in, Ruby ran up and shot him.. there is actually a photograph of this happening.. look it up

Why Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald remains a mystery. It's

remarkable that while he was in custody immediately following the shooting in the basement of the Dallas PD, Jack was extremely nervous -- sweating and unable to relax. He was offered a cigarette by one of the detectives which he took (odd because Jack, being something of a health nut, didn't smoke). A few minutes later they told Jack that Oswald had died on the operatinng table, whereupon he suddenly and amazingly became quite calm, laid the cigarette down and assumed a demeanour that suggested great relief.

During and after his trial, Jack let it be knownthat the truth would one day be revealed, intimating he knew far more than what he had revealed. The only reporter who interviewed Ruby was New York newspaper columnist, Dorothy Kilgallen

who was also a TV game show panelist on CBS's

"What's My Line." Jack may have imparted too much information to Kilgallen --

enough perhaps, to implicate important people as conspirators. For not long after that interview, Kilgallen

was found dead in her apartment of an apparent drug overdose. It has been speculated that the JFK assassination conspirators chose to silence Kilgallen

before she was able to publish Ruby's revelations in a book she had begun to write. But there was never any trace found of her manuscript.

Why did Jack Ruby killed lee harvey oswald?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ruby himself claimed that he did it to spare Jackie pain and suffering.

Others have suggested that Ruby acted out of anger or rage, as has occurred in many cases of 'vigilante justice' even in modern times.

Still others suggest that Ruby was part of a conspiracy, one that included killing President Kennedy and then killing his apparent assassin. Under that theory, Oswald's claim that he was a 'patsy' would be true, although ample evidence exists that Oswald was indeed guilty, including his separate murder of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit.
