The Conspiracy Theories
JFK was killed by (a) the mob, (b) Castro, (c) the FBI, (d) the CIA, or (e) none of the above? Decide for yourself.
At half past noon on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed while he was riding down Dallas’s Dealey Plaza in a presidential motorcade with his wife, Jaqueline, and Texas governor John Connally and Connally’s wife, Nellie. In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union, had committed the assassination alone. But before Oswald could be tried, he was shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby, who took aim while Oswald was being transferred to a county jail.
