Every investigation (and there has been more than one) has consistently determined that Lee Harvey Oswaldfired the shots that killed President Kennedy and wounded Texas Governor Connally. No investigation was ever able to substantiate that a conspiracy existed, or to prove that any other person was definitely involved.

The evidence indicating Oswald's guilt is overwhelming.

  1. The shots were fired from his place of employment, the Texas School Book Depository.
  2. He had no alibi for the time of the shooting.
  3. His rifle was discovered on the floor where a sniper's nest was built.
  4. His prints were on the rifle.
  5. His prints were on the boxes that were used to construct the sniper's nest.
  6. Oswald was observed bringing a long package to work that morning by two people. This package was wrapped in plain, brown paper.
  7. Brown wrapping paper was found near the sniper's nest. It had Oswald's prints on it.
  8. He left work immediately after the shooting, the only employee to do so.
  9. He shot and killed a police officer when approached on the street.
  10. He resisted arrest by drawing his pistol and attempted to kill the arresting officer.
  11. He told one provable lie after another on substantive issues regarding the murders.
  12. The recovered bullet/fragments were determined to have been fired from Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
  13. The autopsy determined all the shots were fired from BEHIND, in the direction of the Texas School Book Depository.
  14. The bulk of the witnesses testified to having heard three shots - the exact number of empty cartridges discovered lying on the floor near the sniper's nest.
  15. Oswald was actually seen firing from the window by several witnesses, one of whom got a good enough look to give a fairly accurate description of him - which is what probably led the police officer (J.D. Tippit) to stop Oswald while walking along a sidewalk in the the Oak Cliff district of Dallas shortly after the shooting.
  16. The police were directed to Oswald in the Texas Theater (where he entered without paying) because Oswald was observed behaving strangely and shying away from police cars running up and down the street.
  17. Photographs were discovered showing Oswald holding the two murder weapons. His wife, Marina, admitted taking those photographs in their backyard. Oswald claimed the photograph was a fake. Ultimately, the investigators had THREE such photos that were all examined by a photographic panel and determined to be unaltered.

There is much speculation but all evidence indicates the Mafia. Many don't know about it but there was a contract out on the President and at the time, his brother was attorney general and actively deporting gangsters. Of course all his power came from the Presidency. Hoover knew about the contract and hated Kennedy who planned to retire him against his will. Hoover was also very close to Johnson and because of his business dealings had him pretty much in his pocket. There is strong evidence to support Oswald was set up and just used to take the blame. His assassination to shut him up also supports this. Others were there just to ensure they were successful and proceeded knowing Oswald was in place. What is debatable is if Oswald was involved in any way. Evidence indicates he did not know he would be the scapegoat for a Presidential assassination since someone who looked like him was making the rounds prior to the event and being overly obvious about throwing his name around at shooting ranges and so forth obviously setting up a frame and something a real assassin wouldn't advertise.. Evidence also indicates he did not know about the rifle. He was tricked into taking a curtain rod to work which he never would have done if he knew there was a rifle to be associated with. There is also some evidence that Oswald at one time was associated in some way with the CIA and his Communist activities were blown up. The FBI was watching him at the time, not unusual since they watched everyone they could use and used secret files for blackmail and may have just picked him out of the stack.
