What was Lee Harvey Oswald charged with after killing John F. Kennedy?
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.

In his sniper's nest on the 6th floor of the TSD, firing his rifle at JFK.
Where did Lee Harvey Oswald hide?
When Oswald ran form the Texas School Book depository, he didn't hide. He was stopped on the street. About 45 minutes after the shooting at Dealey Plaza, Oswald was stopped by Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit for questioning. He shot and killed the officer at point blank range. 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.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald Kill John F. Kennedy?
His gun, his prints on the gun (lifted while he was still alive), fibers from his shirt and a Russian blanket he owned on the gun, the fact that he was left alone on the floor from which the shots were fired, the fact he completely ignored his duties for the day in favor of making a "sniper's nest" in case other people were on the floor, so they couldn't stop him in time. His prints on the sniper's nest area. The fact that he alone escaped the building. The fact that he changed clothes and got his pistol. The fact that he used it to kill a police officer who stopped to question him (odd thing for an innocent person to do!) and then tried to shoot the arresting officers with it. The fact that he said the wrapped package he brought to work was "curtain rods" (which he didn't need) instead of a weapon. If he wasn't planning to do harm with the Carcano, why lie about what it was?
The fact that he left his wedding ring, and almost every bit of money he had left, with his wife. He knew he wouldn't be coming home. He kept about as much as you would need to take a bus to Mexico, but Dallas heated up too quick for him to make any real escape to Mexico or anywhere else.

he was shot from the school book depository by lee Harvey oswald

Answer
To this day there is still an argument as to whether he killed Kennedy alone or was with a group. Nobody knows if anybody sent him because two days after his arrest he was shot by Jack Ruby when he was being moved to the County Jail. Fun Fact: Did you know that the gun that killed Kennedy was bought for around 12 dollars.
Answer
Theories that Oswald did not act alone don't really hold up to investigation. Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to show the world that he had what it takes.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.
The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.
Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.
Mafia hit man James Files has recently admitted to firing the fatal bullet, the blew JFK's brains
out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza.
James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.
How many shots did lee Harvey oswald fire?
The Warren Commission determined that he had fired three shots.
Who was responsible for Kennedy's Assassination?
One widely-accepted theory is that MDC had a mental issue in which he believed that he was the real John Lennon, and John was actually impersonating him. MDC felt that the "fake" John Lennon was taking away from his would-be fame & fortune. Therefore, MDC thought that murdering him would solve this problem.
It was Mark David Chapman who murdered John Lennon (may Chapman burn in Hell forever, thank you!) on December 8, 1980.
Some believe however that the CIA might have had something to do with it as well. I certainly wouldn't put it past them as the American government has always been afraid on John's influence on Americans. The Nixon Administration tried in vain to have John deported but couldn't (ha-ha) and I wouldn't doubt that the Reagan administration felt threatened by him in later years when John resurfaced with Double Fantasy. Many believe that the CIA had programmed Chapman to assassinate John. If you'll google it, you'll find all the FBI correspondence when they wiretapping his phones and keeping John under surveillance. Check it out for yourselves. You'll see.
What schools did Lee Harvey Oswald go to?
Oswald went to Defense Language Institute and Arlington Heights High School.
Its 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and made public three days later. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally, and that Jack Ruby acted alone in the murder of Oswald. The Commission's findings have since proven controversial and been both challenged and supported by later studies.
How long did Jack Ruby spend in prison after killing Lee Harvey Oswald?
The rest of his life. He was still in custody when he died of lung cancer in 1967 at the age of 55.
What was lee Harvey oswalds motive?
It's a big question so I will start from the beginning. Growing up, Oswald had been abused my his mother many times (and his father was dead), so he got out of his house as soon as possible. That's when he joined the marines, and came to be a crack shot at a sniper rifle. When his platoon went to the U.S.S.R., he found found that he liked Communism and Marxism, so he ditched the marines and hung out in Russia for a while. He then became so attracted to Marxism he tried to do everything he could to stand out and help Castro. He was sadly turned down and unnoticed by everyone, so he packed up and went back to the US with his newly wedded wife, Marina (whom he later abused. In the States, he tried to hand out fliers and spread the word about Marxism, yet he was obviously turned down and even arrested for doing so. Mad now, his next move was to assassinate Edwin Walker, a retired military general. Yet after he took the shot and drove away, he didn't even realize that he missed Walker by about an inch. After he ended up finding out he did miss, Oswald was just upset. His wife not liking him, no one interested in what he had to say, he was actually on the verge of suicide, until he heard about the president coming to Dallas. As a final way to stand out, Oswald went to his work building, walked to the 6th floor, aimed, and shot.
Was Lee Harvey Oswald on death row?

Ruby was arrested and tried for the killing and died in prison of cancer.
Were and when did Lee Harvey Oswald get arrested?

What was Lee Harvey Oswald's connection to the Mafia?
Not that anyone knows and can prove. I suspect that kinda like Kevin Bacon, there aren't too many people between any of us and the Mafia. But the Mafia would be fools to let anyone like Oswald in. He wasn't "quiet", politically, and people who draw attention to themselves are not what the Mafia is looking for.
Where did Lee Harvey Oswald buy his rifle?
