JFK's assassination research paper


     President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, when he was riding in the presidential motorcade. An investigation team called The Warren Commission, made a big case about Kennedy assassination. It turns out there were many suspects, but the case has not been solved due to political pressure.

The murder 

Before the murder
      John F Kennedy was on his way to Dallas, Texas, for a presidential campaign. There was a huge crowd on both sides of the street. Everyone was cheering and screaming for Kennedy. [3]

During the murder
     As Kennedy drove past the building of School Book Depository, 3 shots were fired. Kennedy got hit twice in the head and once in the neck. Soon he died. Everyone was shocked. [3]

After the murder
     After the murder, the police did a search in all the building around Kennedy's death. They eventually found a sniper owned by Lee Harvey Oswald in the Texas School Book Depository building. According to the article, "Jack ruby Kills Lee Harvey Oswald," there were three shell casings matching Oswald's rifle [1]. Thus the police accused Lee Harvey Oswald of committing this murder. He was charged with the president's assassination. While Oswald was being transferred to jail, a man named Jack Ruby shot and killed him. Oswald was about to reveal a larger conspiracy [2]. His action prevented this from happening.


The investigation

     The Warren Commission was setup in November 29, 1963 to investigate the assassination. Newspapers printed lots of information about the murder. Thus, Warren Commission got lots of evidence from the newspaper to build a case about this assassination. They looked at the angle of which the bullet hit Kennedy, hey looked at the side of where Kennedy got shot, they look at how Kennedy got shot, etc. [3] Eventually, with enough gathered evidence, Warren Commission found out that Lee Harvey Oswald truly did assassinate John F. Kennedy.

Suspects
There were many suspects to the assassination. Yet, they were not cited because of their huge power. [3]

Oilmen
According to The Oilmen hated Kennedy. They feared that Kennedy might end their tax breaks. [3]

Lyndon B. Johnson
Lyndon B. Johnson was the vice president of the United States. However, he was not very effective. He was scared that he might be removed as vice president. [3]

Mafia
The Mafia was being chased by JFK's brother, Robert Kennedy. They were being put into jail. They were also angry that John F. Kennedy did not give Cuba back to them. [3]

CIA
The CIA made many illegal trades with Cuba and Vietnam. They were scared that Kennedy would end their business with Cuba and Vietnam. [3]

Castro
Castro was afraid that Kennedy would free Cuba from his control. [3]

     In summary John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. Lee was under the motive of many powerful people like Johnson, Mafia, CIA, and Castro. However, to this day we have not solved this mysterious case because of political bias.
