There are various theories as to how our 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd of 1963. Some say that there were various people involved, while others simply believe that what the government released is true. This paper will investigate the numerous theories, opinions, and official documentation on the assassination of our 35th President, John F. Kennedy.

The throat wound was found to be an inch lower than Kennedy’s adams apple, and the Warren Commission had it an inch lower than that. The location was not where the Warren Commission said it was at because there was no bullet hole there, and there was no bullet damage to his tie (“Who Killed president Kennedy”). There was damage to his tie, but that couldn’t have been caused by the bullet. It was caused by a surgical instrument. The reason it couldn’t have been caused by a bullet is because there was copper found around the bullet hole in his shirt, but none on the tie (“Who Killed president Kennedy”). Another big problem was the location of the back wound. It is identified to be between four and six inches below the top of the shirt collar. Therefore, the bullet hole in Kennedy’s back was lower than the one that exited his throat (Flynn). If Oswald did shoot from the sixth-floor window, there is no way that the bullet could have entered four to six inches below the shirt collar as described in the autopsy and exited through his throat. The bullet would have been following a downward path and, therefore, would have exited lower than it entered (Flynn). This means that the two wounds were either caused by separate bullets, or that the bullet was fired from somewhere other than the sixth-floor window. There should also be at least one more bullet to account for the wounds

For nearly five decades, historians have debated over whether or not the John F. Kennedy assassination was from a lone gunman or as part of a bigger conspiracy cover-up. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot as he paraded through Dallas, Texas. That same afternoon, Dallas police had arrested their suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, an itinerant ex-U.S. marine and self-described Marxist-Leninist, previously lived in the Soviet Union prior to his move back to the United States. However, within days of his arrest, Oswald was dead. Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby on national television in the basement of a Dallas police station. Historians, through the years, have stated that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and for himself, while others have maintained that Kennedy was killed as part of a wider cover-up. The Warren Commission Report was established by Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy’s successor, to further investigate Kennedy’s assassination. After nearly a yearlong investigation, the commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating America’s 35th President, and that there was no conspiracy, either domestic or international, involved. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event. Historians have held dramatically different views about the

The evidence presents that there could be alternatives to the official account that was made about the accuser. Conspiracies suggest Oswald acted alone, was framed, or worked with an organization to commit this crime.

On November 22nd, 1963, President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was shot and killed in a motorcade running through Dealy Plaza, in Dallas, Texas.

Over the years there has been much controversy over if Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact, the only man involved in the assassination of JFK. The assassination is still a topic of debate to this day and has spawned many conspiracy theories. At the time, there was little persuasive evidence to prove that Oswald was involved in any sort of conspiracy to assassinate the president, but as time went on people began to grow suspicious of certain things. In 1966,

In the hours after the assassination Oswald murdered a police officer by the name of J.D. Tippit (“The JFK Assassination” 1.). Soon after Oswald was arrested, and whilst in interrogation Oswald claimed that he was framed (Vollbach, Michael 1.). There is no documentation or recordings of this interrogation, however (Vollbach, Michael 1.). While in custody Oswald took a Paraffin test, which detects gunpowder residue. The results of the test showed that Oswald had not fired the Mannlicher-Caracano rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository (Vollbach, Michael 1.). The Mannlicher-Caracano rifle that was found was a notoriously poorly made and inaccurate rifle (Bisaro, Anna 1.). During a transfer to different prison facility Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated by Jack Ruby (“The JFK Assassination” 1.). Jack Ruby was a local club owner who was known to have ties to organized crime (“The JFK Assassination” 2.) .

Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime, but was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby before he could be taken to trial. The Warren Commission officially determined that Oswald was the lone assassin, however, this conclusion has not been accepted by many. In fact, a 2003 poll reported that 75% of Americans do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Most believe that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy, though these same polls also show that there is no agreement on who else might have been involved. Most put forward the idea of involved parties such as Castro

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by gunfire as he traveled in a motorcade in an open-top limousine in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, November 22, 1963 (12:30 pm, CST); Texas Governor John Connally was wounded during the shooting, but survived. Within two hours, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the murder of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit and arraigned that evening. Shortly after 1:30 am, Saturday, Oswald was arraigned for murdering President Kennedy as well. On Sunday, November 24, at 11:21 a.m., nightclub owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald as he was being transferred from the city jail to the county jail. But was it really Oswald who killed John F. Kennedy?

Okay, now what were we talking about...oh yes, the back wound. Two FBI Agents, Sibert and O’Neill, observed Kennedy’s autopsy and wrote a report on it. In it, they described the wound as having entered at a downward angle...but went in only slightly [?] – also, that there was no exit. Well, the “no exit” is written in there because, as repeated, the autopsists didn’t know the trach incision in the front JFK’s throat obscured a bullet wound; the supposed exit site. But what about Sibert and O’Neill saying how the bullet went in only slightly???

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy was sadly assassinated supposedly by Lee Harvey Oswald. Although it is still a mystery exactly how and why he was assassinated, but we do have evidence that could lead to possible reasoning. There are three main theories on how he was assassinated, Oswald being the lone assassin, Oswald being part of a larger conspiracy, and that Oswald was completely innocent. Based on the evidence, the most plausible theory is that Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy. This is because when Kennedy was shot, the shots came from multiple directions. They think that Oswald shot Kennedy while he was on the third floor of Texas School Book Depository, plus he was shot with explosive rounds, which don’t ricochet. So in order

Johnson set up a committee to investigate it. This committee was called the Warren Commission. They would meet and pour over Oswald’s life trying to find his motive for killing Kennedy. They did this for a year and in the 888 page report concluded Oswald acted alone and so did Jack Ruby. They said the reason Kennedy got shot was poor protection from the Secret Service (History.com Staff.). There records were open to the public yet some of it was done in secret. They knew their findings wouldn’t stand up to the public eye (Wikipedia."Warren Commission"). The Warren Commission was an attempt to satisfy the people and stop the controversy. It just made it worse and did more bad than
