Maybe not by himself though but he did have the qualifications, motives etc. He was well trained in the U.S marines and later went to the Soviet Union, so maybe he could shoot accurately with his left hand. He was a very intelligent men and Shooting three bullets in six seconds would not be difficult. It is believed he was of English, German, Irish, dutch decent. Not only did the warren commission declare Oswald’s assassination on the President but the Dallas police office, too. But, Oswald could have been framed and his own mother believed he was in the CIA or some secret government position. Because of the assassination of L.H.O by Jack Ruby no one will ever truly no why JFK was assassinated and the motives, and others behind it. JFK had a hit race on him and too much trouble all at once: cubans, mafia, or even our government could have killed him to prevent him from backing out of the Vietnam war. All of these are still possible suspects in the nations eyes and therefore this case will never really be closed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-41494216599627878092010-06-02T08:44:59.239-04:002010-06-02T08:44:59.239-04:00I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed president ...I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed president Kennedy with another hit man. the reason why I believe this is because he didn’t agree with the way that the president was running the country, he didn’t like the country in the first place, and most importantly he was mentally unstable. Before he killed the president, he was in the Soviet Union and he studied communism. He seemed as if he didn’t love the United States because he went out of his way to study communism and he wasn’t a patriot. The reason why I think someone else must have been involved is because there is no possible way that a bullet could ricochet like how they claim the bullets did in the murder. It had to involve another person that happened to be lucky enough to get away with it. I feel as if it would be an impossible crime committed alone, but with another person in the mix I could understand it happening. Also It makes sense because if the other shooter was in the right position, he could have shot the president or any other four passengers in the car with ease and if this is true they certainly tricked a nation because of how stumped we were with the whole situation. I think situation has a good amount of credibility for a situation that is definitely plausible.<br />Brandon V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-3769460640858560032010-05-23T21:51:34.723-04:002010-05-23T21:51:34.723-04:00Katlin Beal

John F. Kennedy made 75 phone calls from just the oval office to this woman Judith Campbell. The mafia would have easily put out a hit on John F. Kennedy for this. The mafia was assumed in many murders and never caught so they could have easily been involved here. The mafia could have used Lee Harvey Oswald as an escape goat, or they could have had him kill John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald lived in the Soviet Union and applied to be a citizen in the Soviet Union but was denied. He could have been a trader also. I also believe that there were at least two shooters. In the video, the president went forward then back. His skull fragmented out of the back, and he shot back in a way that looked like it was from the front. This is a major indicator that there was more than one shooter. Also one bullet hit the overpass which suggested another shooter was involved. I believe it was mainly the mafia that killed John Kennedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-54200200140211302552010-05-17T20:58:14.693-04:002010-05-17T20:58:14.693-04:00Allie Rubin

Kennedy that vary greatly from the amount of shooters to the main influences on the shooters. Some popular theories were that the C.I.A. was involved, that Cuba plotted it, and that the Soviet Union caused the shooting. Despite these somewhat believable theories, I think it is likely that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Many of the conspiracy theories seem plausible; however, none of them have truly been proven. To this day, no one has come forth and admitted to being a part of any greater conspiracy, making it seem like they are false. According to the video "Oswald's Ghost," Lee Harvey Oswald was very interested in politics. His political beliefs were quite the opposite of those of Kennedy. He was a supporter of Fidel Castro and of the Soviet Union. He even spent a period of time living in the Soviet Union. I agree with the speakers in "Oswald's Ghost" reason that Oswald acted out and shot John F. Kennedy to have a chance to publicly express his views on how the government should be run, to gain power, and to become a memorable figure in history. The video also discussed how Oswald was capable of doing things alone, such as living in the Soviet Union, making it likely that he could plot something so major and execute it by himself. Additionally, LHO's experience in the Marines and skills in weapon use make it seem like he was physically capable of shooting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-56947326888845759232010-05-14T23:57:36.696-04:002010-05-14T23:57:36.696-04:00I believe that Oswald was the person who shot JFK....I believe that Oswald was the person who shot JFK. I think that he could have been working with some other people but everything seemed to come back to LHO in the end. I also think this is true because LHO was at work that day and no one else was on the floor that he was. They also found his finger prints on the gun. People thought that LHO wasn't intelligent but I think people were wrong, he had been to the marines and I am sure that he was very experienced in handling a gun and shooting one. The warren commission didn't do that good of a job of going through all the evidence, but I think it was pretty clear that Oswald did it. Also people think that Oswald was crazy, for example when he was younger his mother sent him to get help and if anyone shot the president it doesn't seem like they are normal or sane. The most interesting evidence that I think proved that it was LHO were the comments from his wife saying that the day of the shooting LHO had said goodbye to her and walked out with out a wedding band on. Those are the reasons why i think LHO killed President JFK.Hannah Grossmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-13568594592560616952010-05-13T22:23:24.474-04:002010-05-13T22:23:24.474-04:00I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed President ...I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy by himself. His motivations, I believe, come from an internal need to kill someone. He had tried to kill a politician before and failed, this would make him angry and want to try again. He wanted to go down in history by killing the President. If he shot the President and got away with it then he would have his own personal gratification; but if he got caught then he would go down in history books like he has. It was a win/win situation for Oswald. This mentality could have originated in his childhood; his mother was “off” and not completely stable, the townspeople avoided her. More evidence supporting his sole act are the wounds on the president and governor show that he was the shooter. Despite beliefs of there being three shooters present, if we go with the assumption that the bullet ricocheted then it becomes clear that he was the sole assassin. I do not believe that Jack Ruby was part of the mafia or any other conspiracy, but I do consider him a radical. I believe that he too acted on his own when killing Lee Harvey Oswald for his own means. <br /><br />Dustin O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-45479706078925438742010-05-11T19:04:12.153-04:002010-05-11T19:04:12.153-04:00The Kennedy assasination bothers me because there ...The Kennedy assasination bothers me because there are so many strange loose ends and inconsistencies. When a president is murdered you don't expect body parts to disappear, bodies to be flown out of state within hours and suspects to be shot inside police stations. All fertilize the mind for conspiracies.<br /><br />That said, the conspiracies are at best speculation and at worst junk science. After getting a full dose I can only conclude that the Warren Commission was correct. Oswald was very capable of shooting JFK. The PBS show "Nova" even provded the so-called Magic Bullet theory.

They linked these conclusions to all be close to right or just make sense only one of the conclusions that they came up with are right, also I think the man that killed LHO was trying to cover up for someone else or a group, when they took him in, he never told why he killed him or anything that he knew about the murder of president Kennedy. It may have something to do with the mafia and how Kennedy talked to Judith Campbell. There are many solutions to this murder but we don’t know what the truth is, and this was my conclusion. <br /><br /><br /> George SharrakAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021676864425374232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-68713583428092531812010-05-05T00:54:12.365-04:002010-05-05T00:54:12.365-04:00Willie Beattie

I think that the mafia very well, could have killed him and used Lee Harvey Oswald as a “pansy”. The mafia obviously had some connections with JFK, like through Judith Cambell who Frank Sinatra introduced to JFK, She was a girlfriend of a high mob boss and maybe he didn’t like her meeting with JFK and for all we know they could have had an affair. Also, why would LHO leave the weapon in the room that he shot from. Any person with some common sense would take it with them or hide it better. The gun was also found with LHO’s finger and palm prints all over. Why wouldn’t he were gloves, unless he was supposed to get caught? On top of all these reason, there are plenty more like the fact that for LHO to kill the president from his vantage point required a very skilled sniper witch he proved he was not when he tried to kill the governor several months earlier. From his vantage point it would be very hard to get off a good shot especially three shots. All of this evidence concludes that the mafia were the ones that organized the killing of JFH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-7407372457982897132010-05-04T23:42:29.344-04:002010-05-04T23:42:29.344-04:00Blake Jackson

While there’s not much evidence offered it has the best motive for the assassination. The next best choice, the Vietnam option, can be proven false simply because JFK had recently said that we would stay in Vietnam. While many people now believe that Oswald acted alone I don’t think that’s true. If it would have been Oswald acting alone then why would we wait 75 years before being able to see the unpublished documents? Wouldn’t it have been easier just to put everyone’s minds at ease and agree with the current beliefs? The Mafia theory also offers two possible reasons for the murder. It even ties in with JFK’s actual personality of being a ladies’ man. I also believe the mob theory because to me Oswald just didn’t seem like the type of person that would commit a crime like that on his own. It also would explain why Jack Ruby killed Oswald only several days later before Oswald could appear on trial. There is also the second reason for the mob suspicion because of how Robert Kennedy targeted the mob. It makes sense as to why mob would want to send a message to one of the Kennedys. If anyone had the most reason for targeting JFK I personally think it was the mob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-74786045266407678782010-05-04T22:49:09.889-04:002010-05-04T22:49:09.889-04:00The conspiracy I think has the most credibility is...The conspiracy I think has the most credibility is the mafia involvement. I think the mafia conspiracy has the most credibility because there are a bunch of different stories to it. The first story is that the assassination was a retaliation for Attorney General Bobby Kennedy's attacks on the mafia. Another story is that the mafia could have used their own killers and used Oswald as a "patsy".<br />I believe that there were other shooters because in the video it looked like JFK was getting different angles. I also believe that Oswald was used as a "patsy" because he was mental and he was killed before he was trialed. The other angle that JFK was killed because he was having a affair with Judith Campbell, which is the mafia bosses girlfriend. AS you can see there were no evidence. <br /><br />Acari WhiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-32092807300220258812010-05-04T22:33:09.928-04:002010-05-04T22:33:09.928-04:00I think that the conspiracy about Lee Harvey Oswal...I think that the conspiracy about Lee Harvey Oswald killing John F. Kennedy. I think that it was him because of the evidence that they have found. They found his gun in the boxes of the building. Eyewitness also said that they spotted Oswald in the window. Why would someone leave money and their weeding ring on the counter of their house if they were going to come back? After Oswald what I believe shot JFK went on to kill another man that was a police officer. While yes his mother might say that he was part of the CIA, people can have a plan and part of his plan could have been getting into the CIA to get a good reputation from people or get connections through people. With the fact that they have tested the shots that could have been shot from that building and they aligned most likely to what have might have happen that day. His wife from Russia also said that she locked him in his room one day for talking about killing the president. Although no one may not know for sure who killed John F. Kennedy I would like to think that the CIA that is supposed to guard our country, would not take a part in a action as big as killing our President. <br />Stefanie Kueck<br />3rd hourAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-76806232425352872562010-05-04T22:31:46.253-04:002010-05-04T22:31:46.253-04:00By the way, u posted blog litterely 1 min after I ...By the way, u posted blog litterely 1 min after I emailed u last night saying I looked but it wasn’t up yet. That’s just dumb luck/bad timing<br />I don’t think any of the real jfk assassinations conspiracies hold much ground. I guess you can say that LHO acting alone is a conspiracy, but I see it more as what happened. Until we discussed in class, I didn’t even know there was conspiracy/ controversy over jfk assassination, I thought it was an open and closed case. I had heard something about a grassy knawel once from a show when I was little but I nvr heard a follow through or anything, so I just assumed it was some joke that was “in” at the time. I could be wrong, and maybe a lot of people believe that there is more behind the death than just a man who wanted to kill someone. Maybe I’ve just been shut in my whole life, and there is a whole other world outside from what I see every day, but to me and what seems like a majority of my peers believe that it was LHO that acted alone. There was also no overwhelming proof brought up to support the conspires surrounding the shooting. I think that it is best summed up by one of the greatest minds whoever lived (not literally, but in a fictional world) “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth” (Sherlock Holmes). Although it wasn’t said in regards to this particular event, it describes it to the T; that despite however unlikely that LHO could/would kill the president, it is the only plausible answer. In turn, it IS the answer. I think that people at the time where making up stories because they wanted to spice up their lives a little. Without the vast range of entertainment we had today, with all the gossip shows and drama we see on the news, is it possible that the US in the 60’s wanted a change in pace? Could they have wanted an M Knight Shyamalan ending to possibly the important event of their lives? I think that it’s not only possibly, I think, that based on human patterns, noting that homo-sapiens are creatures of habit, it is the most logical answer to how such ludicrous theories of a simple case gained such power and support… grrr I got a migraine now casue I got to into this at the end of it once I thought of the Sherlock holmes quote I started watching his shows and stayed up much latter that I should have :P<br />mark gausstineau 2nd hourAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-30922295469608008972010-05-04T22:29:56.028-04:002010-05-04T22:29:56.028-04:00Griffin Harms

Even though many other theories sound logical, this case sounds the most possible to me. The speculation surrounding the Cubans and a secret team for JFK's assassination seem unlikely to me because the intent they had was just too complex. Despite the fact that the murder was carried out by the mafia sounds logical, the story gets lost in the details and the chances of everything happening are slim. I believe that all of these stories were composed through panic and blame, and the American public over thought the issue. Even though the three shots in six seconds sounds unlikely, it is still possible, and Oswald was certified by the Marines as a sharpshooter. My final verdict on this subject is that I believe that Oswald was an unstable man that had his reasons, and he assassinated JFK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-18154628625995167052010-05-04T22:28:38.709-04:002010-05-04T22:28:38.709-04:00Norell Kasawdish

I personally think that ...Norell Kasawdish<br />Hour 3<br /><br /><br />I personally think that the JFK murder conspiracy of Lee Harvey Oswald killing JFK himself has the most credibility. The evidence shown makes the most logical sense that Oswald is guilty. Many people underestimated Oswald and thought that he was too stupid to commit such a crime. Research shows that he had a vastly unstable childhood. Many Americans still question whether or not Oswald was part of a conspiracy. The 1964 Warren Commission report on the JFK assassination concluded that bullets were fired from a window on the sixth floor of the book depository warehouse in Dallas, Texas. Oswald had acted alone. He was interrogated many times, but denied everything. The Warren Commission could not ascribe any one motive or group of motives to Oswald's actions. It is apparent, however, that Oswald did not appear to have been able to establish meaningful relationships with other people. He was perpetually discontented with the world around him. Long before the assassination he even expressed his hatred for American society and acted in protest against it. There was also the Single Bullet Theory, introduced by the Warren Commission. This theory concluded that a single bullet caused all of the wounds in President Kennedy and Governor Connally. According to the single-bullet theory, a single bullet fired from the sixth floor passed through President Kennedy’s neck and Governor Connally’s chest and wrist and embedded itself in the Governor’s thigh. The same bullet was then found on a gurney after the assassination, which led to Oswald being the single killer, and acting alone.Norell Kasawdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500892846112493402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-59692222735565797192010-05-04T22:05:09.755-04:002010-05-04T22:05:09.755-04:00Sarah Stempien

Some people thought that there was more than one person involved in the shooting because of the wounds that JFK had received on the day of the assassination. But in Oswald’s history it showed that he was in the marines and he was considered a “straight shooter” so he must not have needed anybody to help him aim at Kennedy. It also seemed like he had a lot of anger issues. In the movie Oswald’s Ghost it said that one time he had a plan to kill Nixon but his wife had stopped him and locked him up in his room till he calmed himself down. He also tried committing suicide after he was denied entry into the Soviet Union. There is a lot of evidence that is shown about the conspiracy that LHO killed the president on his own.Sarah Stempiennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-6892552398951451392010-05-04T21:51:42.756-04:002010-05-04T21:51:42.756-04:00Lea Martin

Because Oswald was smart, he went to the Soviet Union by himself and when he decided to come back to the US he managed to bring his soviet wife with him without troubles. This could only be done by someone who knows what he is doing and who is not easily intimidated. Also Oswald joint and left the marines when he wanted. Even though the police said there were 3 shots in 6 second and that this would be almost impossible for one person to do by himself, I think he did it alone and he was a good shooter so he had the possibility to manage that. There was never an investigation about a second or even a third shooter, or more about the mafia and the CIA so everything comes down to Lee Oswald. There was some talking about the CIA planning to kill Kennedy because he wanted to pull out of Vietnam but I don’t think it was the CIA who killed Kennedy. I also don’t believe that the mafia wanted to kill Kennedy just because he talked to one of the mafia’s boss’s girlfriend. So I think Lee Oswald’s theory seems the most believable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-9998093347861585002010-05-04T21:51:42.757-04:002010-05-04T21:51:42.757-04:00Alex Wong 2nd hour

His mother was crazy in my mind and that her thinking that he was a government agent is ridiculous and not noticing the signs of her own son becoming unormal because a normal person does not kill people then she either did not have much to do with him or she did not pay attention. People seem to over look the fact that the president had a back brace and that after being shot that held his relaxed body up right and so instead of going forward like he already was he then went back making people think he was shot from the front, or that’s just what people want you to think because he did want to pull out of Vietnam and that was not going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-36841732186742217312010-05-04T21:48:54.166-04:002010-05-04T21:48:54.166-04:00I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK.

Also, Oswald left his wedding ring at home that day. His wife reported that he was carrying something when he left that was bundled up, and it could have been his rifle. Although I do believe that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, I still think that there was more than one shooter. It would be almost impossible for him to get off 3 shots in less than six seconds. I think that the mob had something to do with the assassination of John F. Kennedy also, because I believe that mobsters made jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald in order to hide something that Oswald knew about. He could have found out about the CIA working with the mob in an attempt to assassinate foreign leaders that were against us. We attempted to kill Fidel Castro about six times and we did not succeed any of these times. Oswald could have found out about this and the mob would not have wanted to take any chances with him knowing.

All of the other “plots” are too convoluted and lack simplicity. By simple use of Occam’s razor, Lee Harvey Oswald is the logical killer of JFK. The complicated nature of any plot by the Mafia or CIA would leave behind so much more evidence than displayed, regardless of how the Warren Commission rushed the case. All the evidence displayed on the gun points to Oswald being the killer, the murdered police officer, killed with bullets matched to his gun, his fingerprints were on the gun used to kill JFK, and the fact that the bullets were fired from the place where he worked. Sure another person could have helping Lee Oswald, but there just isn’t any proof. Lee Harvey Oswald joined the marines, managed to leave the marines, without a dishonorable discharge, went as a defector to the Soviet Union, and even bring a wife back from the Soviet Union, seemingly without any external help. This shows how badly underestimated he is, maybe he didn’t plan to kill the president all on his own, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t likely. Not many of the theories are based on solid facts; many of them are just crazy ideas, that cannot hold as much water as Oswald being the only killer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-19733308584452513112010-05-04T21:30:25.772-04:002010-05-04T21:30:25.772-04:00The conspiracy that I believe is that Lee Harvey O...The conspiracy that I believe is that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK all by himself.

Also, the shots hit him in the throat and head, which more then likely both shots came from the same direction, in which Lee Harvey Oswald was standing. Two major pieces of evidence are that his fingerprints matched those on the sniper rifle, and the shells matched those of the pistol he fired on the cop in the movie theater. If Lee Harvey Oswald fired his pistol on the cop that may be convincing that he had something to hide. It was said that Lee Harvey Oswald was underestimated, he was able to defect the Soviet Union, and marry a Russian women and bring her back to the U.S without any help from foreign governments. The only way to know who truly caused JFK’s death was to question the suspects, however Jack Ruby shot the witness at the time, so there was no way of questioning Lee Harvey Oswald, and the truth will never be revealed. So now, we are left with a few conspiracies and not knowing which of them is the real truth of JFK’s death. <br /><br />Heather Robinson<br />2nd hour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-79481360363355138212010-05-04T21:28:36.832-04:002010-05-04T21:28:36.832-04:00I believe that Oswald killed President Kennedy act...I believe that Oswald killed President Kennedy acting by himself. The evidence best supports this theory, making the other conspiracy theories seem more unlikely. Although it might be difficult, I think that LHO was capable of killing JFK alone. He was capable of planning this assassination alone, and evidence shows how three of his bullets can cause the injuries on the scene. He also was able to travel to the Soviet Union as a foreigner, bring back a wife, get into the marines, get out of the marines, and have the necessary skills as a sharpshooter that would be needed for the assassination. I think that because the public underestimated Oswald they think that he didn’t act by himself, so multiple unnecessary conspiracy theories spin out. If one of these theories was true, someone would have found out in the past, uncovering the truth (but, as we know, no such thing happened). The whole assassination seems a little hazy, but I think it’s not the actual murder that’s confusing, but the events surrounding JFK’s death that cause suspicion. Alleged affairs, involvement in Vietnam, and multiple deaths of people somehow related to JFK don’t help either (LHO, many of JFK’s relatives, etc.), but the most rational conclusion is that Oswald acted alone. <br />Elyse Dumas - 3rd hourAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-67389758475470951192010-05-04T21:08:40.366-04:002010-05-04T21:08:40.366-04:00I truly believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed the ...I truly believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed the president, John F. Kennedy, by himself. The warren commission was rushed but I still think they had enough evidence to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only killer. The investigation showed that his fingerprints we on the gun he shot at the cop and the bullets matched the gun, also the shots came from the building he worked in. People don’t think that Oswald could fire 3 shots in 6 minutes but he was in the marines and he must have knew his way around a gun so I do believe he could have easily fired 3 shots in 6 minutes. The movie we watched in class talked about how the morning JFK was killed Oswald left his house with a large case and he left his weeding ring at home, him leaving with a large case is really saying he took his gun and him leaving his weeding ring at home is a small simple gesture that is really saying that he didn’t think he was coming back home that day. The theory that Oswald killed JFK by himself has the most evidence and is the best answer for what did happen.<br /><br />Ryan<br />Brode <br />3rd hourUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220886118210525084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-59252873772107719322010-05-04T20:53:14.558-04:002010-05-04T20:53:14.558-04:00Michael Rondello

He killed him because he found out that Kennedy, the CIA and the mafia were all involved in overthrowing leftist governments in other countries as we found out in the 1970s as seen in the video, Oswald’s Ghost. Oswald, being a leftist himself, was infuriated and murdered Kennedy. His plan was to reveal what was really going on to the people of America during his trial. Since it would be controversial, the CIA and the mafia didn’t want him to do so. So their plan was to send Jack Ruby, who had some involvement in the mafia, to assassinate Oswald so he couldn’t say anything. The only thing is: how did Oswald find out what the CIA and the mafia were doing? After his death, his mother kept claiming he was in the CIA himself. Being in the CIA, he must have found out about the overthrowing of leftist governments, and was motivated to murder Kennedy. I do think that the whole thing is somewhat of a conspiracy because Oswald wouldn’t have reacted without some sort of good reason and the same goes with Ruby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27943050.post-49697888707015096782010-05-04T20:24:56.142-04:002010-05-04T20:24:56.142-04:00Jim Stevens

I believe this because there is inconclusive evidence pointing any of the other conspiracies. Also many of the people like the movie had said underestimated him. He was a bright man when it came to politics and appearing on television and explaining his ideas thus concluding he was bright enough to come up with his own plot to kill the President. He also had his own motives to kill commit the crime. He had previously defected to the Soviet Union before he had returned to the U.S. with a wife. His wife had also testified that Oswald had tried to kill someone before. She also said that on the morning of JFK's death, that he kissed her goodbye and had left his money for her and carrying a large object out of the house wrapped up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
