Jfk Assassination Research Paper
Here he comes! Heading passed the Texas Book Depository. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Our thirty-fifth president John F. Kennedy was shot, and died instantly. How many shooters were there? How many shots were there really? Who was this Lee Harvey Oswald? Why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald? These are the mysteries of JFK’s assassination. There are many conspiracies to his assassination, like the official Warren Commission report of 1964. I have a theory there were multiple shooters. There were many shooters, because of how many shots there were, and the autopsy photos of JFK and the bullet wounds in the governor. This will all tie into my conspiracy.
First of all, the shots that led to his death. John F. Kennedy had one shooter that was named Lee Harvey
Oswald. My theory is that Oswald, located in the Texas Book Depository, shot Kennedy once and hit him in the back then shot again but missed. Then, a few seconds later, the unknown shooter shot once from the Grassy Knoll and hit him in the head and killed him instantly. To prove this there is a recording from one of the police motorcycles ditabelts showing that there were at least 3 shots. Donald Thomas, a scientist for the U.S. Federal government, he wrote this book called, Hear No Evil. In his book he states that, “The last in the sequence of test shot matches occurred at a microphone 143 feet from the first, and the time between the first and last suspected shots on the dictabelt was 8.3 seconds. In order for the Police motorcycle officer whose stuck microphone was suspected of recording the gunfire to travel 143 feet in 8.3 seconds he would need to be traveling at approximately 11 mph—almost the exact speed at which the FBI estimated the Presidential limousine was moving on Elm street” (Thomas, p. 583). This shows that my conspiracy could be correct. Another part to my conspiracy, is the autopsy of Kennedy and the bullet wounds in the governor. The bullet holes from the autopsy showed that the entry of the first bullet went through his back and exited out through his esophagus. The next bullet missed him. Then, the third bullet hit him in the left side of his face. In the Zapruder film the bullet looks like it hit him from the front and not from where Oswald was in the Texas Book Depository. It looks like he was shot from the Grassy Knoll. Also, the policemen went to the Grassy Knoll and the fence on the Grassy Knoll was in the perfect spot to shoot Kennedy in the head. Looking for more evidence on the Grassy Knoll they found a bunch of cigarettes. It looked like someone was really nervous and couldn’t keep it together so they smoked a lot of cigarettes to stay calm. In this case, there was possibly another shooter that shot JFK and not just Lee Harvey Oswald. This proves my conspiracy. In conclusion, we may never know who killed John F. Kennedy. But, there are many conspiracies of who did and why. In my conspiracy, it showed that there were possibly two shooters. Lee Harvey Oswald was one of the shooters but, it’s a mystery of who the other shooter was. There are so many questions that are unanswered. My conspiracy showed how the autopsy and the shots fired affected how many shooters there could have been.
