The Kennedy Assination: A Conspiracy? Essay -- American Presidents, JF

What reasons did the HSCA take for in 1979 for offering that President Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy in 1963?In 1976, the House Select Committee on Assassinations began to reinvestigate the events at the assassinatoration of JFK. A report was published by the committee in 1979 stating that there was a probable conspiracy surrounding Kennedys death, contradicting the Warren cathexiss surmise. However, the HSCA could not prove that someone other than Oswald may have kill the president. What the HSCA could do however, was to prove that there were flaws in the evidence that the Warren Commission used to formulate their theory about Oswald being the lone assassin of JFK. A major part to the Warren Commissions theory was the three bullet idea, in which the first bullet supposedly passed finished Kennedys neck and then caused regulator Connallys three wounds in the chest, wrist and thigh. The bullet that did this damage, often referred to as the magic bullet, was later set on Connallys stretcher, with no trace of blood and almost in full in tact. Attempts that have been made to recreate this situation have be that it was almost impossible that the bullet could have, firstly, changed direction so many multiplication to make Kennedy and Connallys wounds and, secondly, remained so undamaged after passing with blood, bone and human tissue. The Zapruder film of the assassination also shows that there were 2 seconds between Kennedy and Connally being hit, indicating that they were struck by two different bullets. Governor Connally backed this up by saying that he heard a gun shot and then had time to turn around to crack where the gun shot came from, before getting hit himself. Connally also tell that he was almost cer... ...e, Lynden Johnson became president after JFKs assassination, so his antecedent to murder JFK would have been his desire to rule America. It is also known that the mafia saw Johnson as a much better friend in the Whitehouse than JFK, which meant that Johnson could have planned JFKs assassination with the help of Mafia. However, this is just a hypothesis and cannot be proved, like the HSCA found out when they uncovered the fare of different conspiracies that there could have been surrounding Kennedys death. There were withal many conspiracies that couldnt be proved which meant that the HSCA could not pinpoint who but did murder JFK.To conclude, judging by the flaws in the Warren Commissions theory and the amount of people that could have benefitted from Kennedys death, the HSCA had good reasons to suggest that JFK could have been the victim of a conspiracy.
