Friday April 19

Kennedy Assisination cont.:

  • Lee harvey Oswald is in custody and the police let people right up to him for things like press conferences.
  • Oswald shot and killed by Jack Ruby
  • Police knew Jack Ruby well
  • Ruby said he did it so Mrs. Kennedy wouldn't have to see Oswald again.
  • Johnson puts together the Warren Commission.
  • The report said Oswald was the only assissin and it was not a conspiracy.

 

Conspiracy Theories:

  • Report of the Select Commitee on Assissnations of the US House of Representatives
  • 1978
  • Said that JFK "was  probaly assissinated as a result of a conspiracy"
  • The committee was unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy.
  • Magic bullet theory: the first shot that hit entered Kennedy's back exited his neck, hit Connaly in the arm, went through his thigh and came out perfect.
  • Grassy Knoll was where people thought the gunfire came from. But some say it was an echo. Felt that this is where the second gunman was.

Who might have killed JFK?

  • The Cubans (x2)
  • The Kgb (USSR)
  • The US Mafia
  • The CIA (US Gov.)
  • The Zero Game
