November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy took a limo ride
through Dallas Texas, but this harmless event quickly turned fatal for the young president. The presidents limo turned onto Elm going 25 miles per hour then slowing down to 10 miles per hour to make a sharp turn. The first shot ran out missing the president completely sounding like an echo. Hearing this, Kennedy stops waving and starts to look around. The second shot was then fired sending the bullet into Pres. Kennedy's throat he then grabs his throat with both hands. The third shot sent a bullet into Kennedy's back, thrusting him down and forward. The fourth shot sent a bullet into Connley's
back near the rear of his right arm pit. Connley then yells "My God they're going to kill us all!". The fifth shot was fired and another bullet missed the president and hit an underpass, fragments fragments from the bullet hit James Taye who was standing under the underpass. The sixth and final shot sent a fatal bullet to the right lobe of his head, throwing him back and to the left. An autopsy was done only on the head to find how much of the brain was lost, no future exam was done to track the bullets and to determine how many bullets
where fired into Kennedy the examiner was told by high ranking officers in the room when to stop and what not to do. Since no further investigation was done the magic bullet theory was born. In this theory it was said that three bullets caused all seven wounds. The magic bullet theory comes in on the fourth shot, causing wounds to JFK and to Connley. First it enters Kennedy's back headed down at an angle of 17 degrees, upward to leave Kennedy's body through his neck, where it stopped in mid air turns right then left w...

charged with the murder of JFK. Jack Ruby trying to spare Jackie Kennedy the grief of taking the stand, was shown into the police station threw an underground garage. When Oswald was being walked out Jack Ruby jumped out, shot and killed Oswald. When Clay Burternd took the stand he lied about everything about ever knowing Dean Andrews, Lee Harvey Oswald, Dave Ferrie, Willie O'Keefe and ever having anything to do with operation mongoose and he also lied about having used Clay Burternd after admitting after being arrested. Although the evidence, to me, was overwhelming the jury found Clay Shaw not guilty. Outside after trial the media ask him if he plans to run for his position of D.A. and he says yes, then adds that he will keep looking for the truth of the JFK assassination he says, "I owe that not only to Jack Kennedy but to the country."
March 30, 1981 was a peaceful day. President Ronald Reagan was walking outside enjoying the fresh air when suddenly shots were fired. Six shots were fired in total, but only one shot hit Reagan due to a bullet that ricocheted. Luckily, Reagan was hit in the abdomen; therefore, he survived. The “mastermind” behind the attempted assassination was a man named John Hinckley. Hinckley believed by going through with this assassination it would be a romantic scenario for himself to confess his undying love for the actress Jodie Foster. Before long it was time for the Hinckley trial and after hearing his side of the story, the jury came to the conclusion that he was crazy. Hinckley was later found not guilty by reason of insanity and admitted to
Three shots were fired as the motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza. The first missed. The second seriously wounded both Kennedy and Connally and a third inflicted a fatal head injury on the president. The injured were taken to Parkland Hospital where doctors pronounced Kennedy deceased at 1:00 p.m. CST. Governor Connally underwent numerous operations and recovered from his wounds (“Kennedy”). Eyewitnesses to the shooting reported that shots were fired from the building of the Texas School Book Depository. Police entered the building and discovered boxes piled against a window on the sixth floor and next to them a Carcano rifle, later identified as the murder weapon (“Kennedy”). Based on a description of the assailant, Police Officer J.D. Tippit stopped Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the book depository, as he walked along a sidewalk three...
There was also a “single bullet theory” in which only one shot was fired killing Kennedy, leaving his neck and entering Governor Connelly’s back. Though Connelly disagrees saying, “the bullet that entered Kennedy wasn’t the same as the one for my wounds.” Others say there were four or five bullets. No one knows for sure how many bullets there were or how many actual people were involved with the killing of President John Kennedy. “Clearly there was an attempt by Federal and local authorities to conceal the facts as contained in the evidence. The cover up is all to obvious.”
In 1976, the US Senate ordered a fresh inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered in 1963 during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas while campaigning for re-election. People who had been involved in the original Warren Commission investigations were asked to make fresh statements. The FBI and the CIA were persuaded to release more of their documents on Oswald. New lines of inquiry were opened and individuals who had not previously given evidence were persuaded to come forward. Most important of all, pieces of evidence such as photos and sound recordings were subjected to scientific analysis using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) completed their investigation in 1979 and they finally came to a discrete verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy, one of which killed the president. A fourth shot was fired from the grassy knoll, which was contradictory to the statement printed by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier. They concluded that John Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.
On 22 November 1963, President John F Kennedy was shot dead as he took part in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas. Soon afterwards a man named Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and accused of having shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas school Depository building . Even though Oswald refused to co-operate and denied all knowledge of the assassination, he was formerly charged the next day, on the 23 November. However, he never stood trial as just two days later Oswald himself was shot dead by Jack Ruby, a Dallas night club owner, as he was being taken from police headquarters to court. As Jack Ruby went to prison and the police had no longer a suspect to question, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, set up a committee led by chief justice Earl Warren, to conduct an official investigation into Kennedy's murder. They were under immense pressure by the public to come up with a conclusion. On 24 September 1964, the Warren Commission finally issued a report of their findings. They concluded that President Kennedy was murdered by a single gunmen, Lee Harvey Oswald. There were numerous reasons why the Warren Commission came to this conclusion, varying from Oswalds background and most predominantly the hard evidence there was against him. In fact, there was a substantial amount of evidence that linked Oswald to the murder weapon and the crime scene which, undoubtedly helped a great deal in his conviction. The main evidence against Oswald was a unique Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, which was recovered on the sixth floor of the school depository building and had allegedly been used for the shooting. Witnesses claimed that three shots had been fired. Three spent cartridges were found alongside the rifle. Ballistics proved that the fragments from two bullets that were recovered from the Presidents limousine and from the wounds of Kennedy and Governor Connally, came from the same unusual type of rifle, made in Italy during the Second World War. Forsenic evidence also linked Oswald to the weapon. Fibres found on the rifles stock matched those on a shirt Oswald was wearing when he was arrested. Oswalds palm prints were also found on the underside of the gun barrel. His prints were found on a part of the rifle that was exposed only when it was taken to pieces.
...nd all of them were fired from Lee Harvey Oswald. The Commission stated that there was no conspiracy, domestic or international, and that there was no connection between Jack Ruby and Oswald. However, through the twenty six volumes and the approximately thirteen thousand pages of testimonies and documentary exhibits traces of testimonies from Kennedy?s physicians, Dallas physicians, eyewitnesses, or civilian films cannot be found.
The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States marked a tragic historical moment in American history. The president was fatally shot by a sniper while traveling with his wife, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally’s wife in a presidential motorcade at 12.30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963. JFK was pronounced dead shortly after rushing to Parkland Hospital, where a tracheostomy and other efforts failed to keep him alive. Although Lee Harvey Oswald, a former United States Marine was convicted of the crime, the purpose behind the assassination remained inclusive as Oswald’s case never came to trial as he got shot to death two days later by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub operator in Texas. The assassination raised many questions and theories concerning the murder. As Oswald’s motives remain unknown, many scholars and investigators yearned to find the key to this mysterious crime, and came up with plausible theories searching for motives behind the assassination. While some straightforwardly blamed Oswald for the murder, claiming Oswald’s personal motives as the cause and supported the theory of the Lone Gunman, many developed more critical theories concerning conspiracies connecting the involvement of Cuba, Russia, the Central Intelligence Agency and the 36th President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson. The Warren Commission was established by President Johnson to exclusively investigate the assassination. The Commission published a detailed report and concluded that Oswald acted alone. The deficiency of the Warren Commission’s evidence to support its theory along with the cordial relationship between JFK and the CIA refute both the Lone Gunman theory and conspiracies involving the CIA in...
Around 12:30p.m. in Dallas, Texas, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was riding in a motorcade passing the Texas School Book Depository building when he was assassinated.(“Know the Knoll: Knew Angles on JFK Assassination”) Most people think that three shots were fired. Two hitting Kennedy and one hitting Governor John Connally.(“LEE HARVEY OSWALD”) Shortly after the assassination Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for killing a policeman, J. D. Tippit, for stopping him in a neighborhood. Soon after being arrested an employee from the Texas School Book Depository Building recognized Oswald which is when the police figured they had likely caught the president’s killer. When Oswald was being taken to the county jail he was shot by a nightclub owner named Jack Ruby.(“Accused JFK Assassin Is Arrested, Then Gunned down.”) For many people it was simple, Oswald was Kennedy’s killer. But if you are like most people you think Oswald did not act alone, or maybe did not even have anything to do with the assassination. There are many theories of how, why, and who killed Kennedy, but some of them are more popular and make more sense than others. For example the grassy knoll theory which is the theory that there was a gunman on the grassy knoll, either assisting Oswald or acting alone.(“Dealey Plaza and the Grassy Knoll.”)
Witnesses on the day claimed to see the shots fired from the sixth story window of the Depository. Oswald was one of the few working in the building on that day, which raises even more suspicion about him. Oswald had access to all the materials needed to kill the President. The fact that Oswald killed the police officer questioning him speaks volumes about his guilt as well.
On November 22,1963,President Kennedy was in attendance at a Dallas parade.One of the biggest tragic moments happened in U.S. history before the naked eye.President John F. Kennedy was assassinated around 12:34 p.m.as he celebrated with the Dallas crowd to show admiration towards them and their city(Mintaglio 60).The suspected assassin Robert L. Oswald,a former U.S. marine,was afterward caught not long following the assassination in a near by theatre(Newman 56).Later to discover he himself was assassinated by Jack Ruby while he was being escorted publicly to the court room.A study of the John F.Kennedy assassination would include the conspiracy theories, the plans of the assassination ,and the alleged suspects‘ connections.
Thesis Statement: Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone on the day of November 22, 1963 in the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).

For 51 years this assassination case has become a mystery to our society. The CIA hired Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate John F. Kennedy, and to cover that up, Jack Ruby was also hired to kill Lee Harvey Oswald so he would not have to testify in court. Jack Ruby could testify and say he killed Oswald out of anger of him killing John F. Kennedy.
John F. Kennedy’s assassination has been a mystery since it happened in 1993. John F. Kennedy was shot in a moving car in Dallas, Texas. The murder surprised the nation in a time of peace and calmness, It was also “... the first time the vivid immediacy of such acts was brought into the homes of millions” (“The Warren
