Earl Warren
Earl Warren was a huge importance in the United States. So much was accomplished with the help of Warren. Growing up poor, he learned to overcome challenges to achieve greatness. During his time he became governor, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, county district attorney, also served his country in the United States Army. Warren dealt with cases in race and other major issues. He led some of the biggest cases during his time, including the John
F. Kennedy's assassination and Brown v. Board of Education (1954). To this day Earl Warren is a respected person of our past.
On March 19, 1891 Earn Warren of Los Angeles was born to Mathias and Crystal.

Thirty minutes later, Oswald was arrested in a movie theater by police responding to reports of a suspect. Oswald was formally arraigned on November 23 for the murders of Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit.
The next day, Oswald was brought to the basement of the
Dallas police headquarters on his way to a more secure county jail. A crowd of police and press with live television cameras rolling gathered to witness his departure. As
Oswald came into the room, Jack Ruby (1911-1967) emerged from the crowd and fatally wounded him with a single shot from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby, who operated strip joints and dance halls in Dallas and had minor connections to organized crime, was immediately detained. He claimed that rage at Kennedy’s murder was the motive for his action” (History.com).
According to History.com, “After a nearly yearlong investigation, the commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren (1891-1974), concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald
(1939-1963) had acted alone in assassinating America’s 35th president, and that there was

    Shortly after the assassination, newly made President Johnson made a commission to investigate Kennedy’s death. The commission lasted nearly a year, concluding that Oswald had acted alone in shooting the president and there was no conspiracy involved. Unfortunately, the commission, however firm it may have seemed, failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event.…

    Many conspiracies surround the death of President John F. Kennedy. What the Warren Commission and other American Intelligence resources tell us is simple. The President was killed by a deeply motivated, and angry Lee Harvey Oswald who acted alone in carrying out this murder. He fired three shots from the School Book depository in Dallas Texas, one bullet missing the car completely, another passing through the President and into Governor Connolly, and a third delivering the fatal headshot to the President. But what really happened on that day in Dallas? Numerous investigations and new technology and evidence reveal a strong possibility for more than one shooter to have been present and active during the attempt on John F. Kennedy’s life.…

    The Commission in its report did not mention an FBI report from a witness placing Oswald in the second floor lunchroom of the depository at 12:15. They did report Oswald being in the lunchroom between 12:31 and 12:32. It would be difficult for anyone to believe that Oswald ran up to the 6th floor to assassinate Kennedy and then returned to the lunchroom at 12:31. Since Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30, the Commission actually presents evidence that Oswald was in the lunch room at the time of the assassination as he could not possibly hide his rifle and get down to the lunch room within two minutes. 5.…

    JFK Assassination Theory

    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.…

    The third shot wounded Governor John Connally. Who was sitting in the front seat of the motorcade with John F. Kennedy. Oswald did so much damage with just three bullets. It posed that both men were hit by a single bullet. Which extended to JFKs upper back and exited through his throat and then struck Governor John Connally´s ribs breaking them then shattering his wrist then finally resting in his thigh. Skeptics say that the trajectory was fanciful and renamed it as the magic bullet theory. It's just one reason why conspiracy theorists think more than one shooter was involved(who killed…

    Lee Harvey Oswald was a crazy and mentally unstable man. He was in the U.S. Marines and was court-martialed twice in 1958 for having an illegal weapon and for being violent (“Lee” 4). The CIA would have not trusted this psychotic man to carry out a task as huge and risky as assassinating the president of the United States. Especially if he could not even behave in the U.S.…

    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. A conspiracy that the government was behind his death is another irrational theory. Over the years a numerous amount of investigators and researches have been evaluating the incident using evidence such as location, purchases made by Oswald, using information from witnesses; they even dug into Oswald’s personal life to find any information that would be a sufficient reason to kill the President. 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.…

    As President Kennedy's motorcade turned left onto Elm Street, a series of gunshots rang out. Kennedy was struck twice and Governor Connally once. But where did the gunfire come from? According to the official report from the Warren Commission, all three shots came from the sixth story of the Texas School Book Depository. Thus the Commission surmised that one person, namely Oswald, had been completely responsible. But the Commission ignored the opinions of experts as well as eyewitness accounts and the sounds coming from police radios. Data that supports the involvement of the Mafia suggests that the Mob was involved in the murder of JFK as a result of his brother, Robert Kennedy's crime busting. It is also believed that Castro, with strong motives, ordered Kennedy to be killed as a result of U.S. Cuban affairs. Strong evidence supports the idea that the CIA was behind the murder of its own president, as a result of JFK's unethical decisions (regarding what?). Thus, support (form experts in the field????) has been generated to maintain that Oswald was not the only person involved in the killing of John F. Kennedy. Contrary to popular belief that Oswald was the "lone gunman" and mastermind behind the JFK assassination, there is much evidence to support that the findings of the Warren Commission were indeed…

    Earl Warren served as Chief Justice on the U.S Supreme Court from 1953-1969, before which he had served as Attorney General of California in 1938 and soon after served as the Governor of California. It was clear that Warren had become more liberal with age and as Chief Justice he believed “the Court [was]as a protector of the public, the means to restore ethics and mind the conducts of legislators.” (Oyez) The Warren court and its decisions brought about a significant amount of social change, rooted in establishing racial equality and protecting civil liberties. For this, the Warren Court is mistakenly labeled as liberal. The court’s decisions, especially those of Chief Justice Warren, reflected a kind of progressive thinking. Warren navigated…
