John F Kennedy assassination

On November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, "the Crime of the Century" took place. President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dealey Plaza while touring through the city in his open-roof limousine. After the shots were fired, police began looking for suspects. One hour after the shooting, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for murdering a police officer. One hour after that he was charged with killing the President. Was Lee Harvey Oswald the real killer, or was he merely the scapegoat hired by some agency outside of the United States, to take the blame. There are a lot of known and unknown facts about this case. Many people believe that there were more people than Lee Harvey Oswald firing the shots even though the Warren Commission will deny any possibility that there was more than one assassin. The purpose of this paper is to state the facts about this case and let you decide for yourself whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald was quilty.

Early in the morning, on November 22, 1963, Julia Ann Mercer was driving past the Texas School Book Depository on her way to work. Just past the Depository, about half-way from the railway overpass, she saw a green truck parked illegally on the side of the road. Because it was blocking traffic, she had to stop an


Also, at the time of the shooting, a Mr. J.C. Price was on the other side of the Plaza at the top of the Terminal Annex Building watching the president. He said that after the shooting he saw a man with something in his hand running across the railroad tracks to the railroad cars. His description of the man was almost the same as Mr. Bower's description and Miss Mercer's.

After the shooting, approximately fifteen people, ten of which were police officers, began searching the area behind the fence on the grassy knoll for suspects. One policeman apprehended a man. when the man showed him that he worked for the CIA, he had to let him go. They also found a car backed up to the fence with shoe prints and mud on the bumper suggesting that someone had been standing on the bumper to look over the fence.

From this evidence, we can establish the fact that there was more than one gun and definitely more than one assassin. Who the other assassin or assassins were is unknown even though testimony from witnesses gives definite proof that there was more than one and that at least one shot came from the grassy knoll. We can establish this fact on the basis of the head shots, the entrance wound on the neck of President Kennedy, and eyewitnesses claiming to have seen people behind the fence before and after the assassination.
