The JFK Assassination Case, 60 Years Later

In the history of the US, there have only been four presidents who were assassinated, and out of those four, one stands out among the rest, and that’s the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas. As JFK was riding on a presidential motorcade, two shots struck him dead.

The Warren Commission officially identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator, although Oswald himself denied that he was the one who did it. Two days after JFK’s assassination, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby. Despite the reports and several evidence pointing to Oswald being the killer, 65% of Americans still believe there’s more behind the assassination of JFK, according to Gallup polls.

Due to the mysterious circumstances that surrounded the JFK assassination case, many people formed conspiracy theories that suggested varying notions such as the CIA or FBI being the mastermind as there were officials who disagreed with JFK’s policies, or that LBJ instructed the assassination, or perhaps, the most outlandish of all, that JFK’s own wife had him killed.

The fact that JFK’s assassination was done long range, compared to the other three assassinations, which were all in close range, lends the case to suspicion from the public and to conspiracy theorists. Despite the shock of how JFK’s presidency ended, perhaps we can instead turn to what his term accomplished no matter how short it had been.
