    In this paper, I will discuss the controversy of the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single shooter in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK). Against what Mr. O’Reilly and Mr. Dugard have said, I do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single shooter in the assassination of JFK, because the only three shots fired from his rifle would have been spaced out evenly, instead of bunched up, as witnesses testified.…

    What really happened on the 22nd of November in the year 1963? This question has lingered throughout minds of American citizens for the past 50 years. Who killed the beloved John Frederick Kennedy? What would be one’s intentions behind this atrocious action? Some say the government was behind his death; others say that it was Lee Harvey Oswald, maybe an African American, or even Jack Ruby.

Although there are various conspiracies regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, there is also a surplus of evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed the assassin.…
