The single bullet theory was started by the Warren commision. It was where one bullet killed both Kennedy and the Governor that was in front of him. This bullet according to the warren commission was fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. The trajectory of the bullet passed through Kennedy’s neck and went into the governor's chest and embedded the bullet in the governor’s thigh. In this paper I will go over the single bullet theory.
The Warren Commission was officially created through Executive Order 11130. It was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson (Time). With the intent of investigating what happened in the Kennedy assassination. The warren commision came up with the theory that a single bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. Which struck Kennedy in the

Kennedy assassination. The single-bullet theory was introduced by the Warren Commission in its investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to explain what happened to the bullet that struck Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat. The Warren Commission that investigated the Kennedy assassination established that the reactions of Kennedy and Connally happened too close together for two single shots, even from the same gun, to have been accountable for their injuries. In an interview with Piers Morgan Stone said, the single-shooter theory and the "magic bullet" theory "fall apart, if anybody in their right mind looks at it." "It angers me sometimes, to think of the degree of stupidity about Oswald and the Mannlicher-Carcano (rifle) on the sixth floor making these shots. It's almost as if we don't believe what we see with our own eyes in the Zapruder film," Stone
There is no definitive dividing line between the how and why the U.S. Supreme Court developed the VIS laws since both questions overlap. In the Capital cases of Booth v. Maryland, Gathers v. South Carolina and Payne v. Tennessee the U.S. Supreme Court were tasked to decide if the VIS were constitutional.
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.
Some theories are that it was organized by the CIA, Fidel Castro, an Anarchist group, even by Vice-President Lyndon Johnson. However, once all the evidence is examined, it appears that the assassination was done by a lone man. So much of the evidence, from the way the assassination occurred, to the details of the alleged assassins’ life, and even to the official government findings and a film of the assassination, all point to the fact that there was no conspiracy and that Kennedy was killed by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. Evidence that proves Oswald’s guilt are as follows; Oswald was pro-Communist, and hated America. He was in the Depository at the time of the assassination, and searches of the building found evidence of his work. The rifle with his finger prints on it was found by a make-shift snipers nest.
...e, Lynden Johnson became president after JFK’s assassination, so his motive to murder JFK would have been his desire to rule America. It is also known that the Mafia saw Johnson as a much better “friend in the Whitehouse” than JFK, which meant that Johnson could have planned JFK’s assassination with the help of Mafia. However, this is just a hypothesis and cannot be proved, like the HSCA found out when they uncovered the amount of different conspiracies that there could have been surrounding Kennedy’s death. There were too many conspiracies that couldn’t be proved which meant that the HSCA could not pinpoint who exactly did murder JFK.
The problem with the Warren report is that some eyewitnesses say that shots came from in front of the motorcade, which would mean there were two or more shooters. The FBI did little to help the Warren Commission in finding answers; initially the report was to remain sealed for 75 years or until the year 2039, however, most of it was released in 1992.
Since November 23, 1963, the day after President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated, there have been speculations as to the happenings of November 22, 1963. Along with the Warren Commission, there are hundreds of conspiracies and theories attempting to explain the assassination of Kennedy. Many people agree with the Warren Commission in that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman, while others maintain that another gunman was involved. Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Oswald did not act alone on November 22, 1963 in the assassination of Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).
From examining John F. Kennedy’s assassination, many people have come to the conclusion that there was a second party involved in the shooting of the President of the United States. The writers give great theories and facts leading people to believe that the Warren Report was false and later used to cover up the death of John Kennedy. With this great information out to the public it is obvious that the mob was involved with the planning assassination. After, all this evidence it only makes sense that the Warren Report is false, and that the mob was involved the whole time.
JFK's Death On November 22, 1963, one of the most controversial assassinations happened to one of the greatest leaders in America, by Jack Ruby's mafia, with the assistance of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that committed the act of treason, in the murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK). There is hard evidence supporting the cover up and scandal involved with his assassination. Due to the confiscation of films and evidence, the citizens of the United States must only know what they are told by the government. The CIA was associated with the mafia and arranged the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
President Lincoln and President McKinley were killed by their radical beliefs and ideas. The ideas were improper at that time and people considered them to be harmful to our society. 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 at him killing John F. Kennedy.
After JFK was assassinated, the whole event was shrouded in mystery. The event itself was never fully known without a doubt what happened. The main suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald was killed by Jack
On November 22, 1963 president John F. Kennedy was shot in Dealey Plaza, in Dallas Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald is said to have acted alone, according to the official report given out by the Warren Commission. Although the official report states that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone 61% of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind the death of President Kennedy. One of the theories is that the CIA conspired to kill President Kennedy because they withheld documents, had personnel in the area on the day President Kennedy was shot, and Oswald may have been part of the CIA.
The doctors who examined Kennedy proved that a bullet entered from the front of the limo, which means that there was another gunman. Governor Connally was sure that he was shot in the back after President Kennedy had already been wounded (Findings). In the Zapruder film, Connally reacts to the back wound after Kennedy reacts to the throat wound. The trajectory of the bullet that supposedly penetrated Kennedy's neck and Connally's torso is a criticism of the single-bullet theory. The bullet would have to change course in mid-air, in order to hit both Connally and Kennedy. Also, Kennedy's back wound was located lower than his throat wound. Therefore, both wounds could not have caused by only one shot from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. It was impossible for Oswald to have fired three shots in 6.3 seconds According to a test conducted by expert marksmen the Italian Army, they were unable to fire three shots in less than nineteen seconds, using the same replica of the gun (Washington, Tim Shipman
