It has been proven beyond any reaosnable doubt that there was no conspiracy to kill JFK, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, and that the Warren Commission report, although not perfect, was pretty much correct.
If you read the book CASE CLOSED by Posner and watch the A&E documentary THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION - BEYOND CONSPIRACY, you will find that a conspiracy theory, based on the evidence of the time and evidence made possible by modern technology (such as 3-D computer models) shows that there were no shots other than Oswalds.
I could list 1000 different reasons Oswald acted alone, but to keep it brief here are just a couple:
--- Oswald told people for months that he would become famous by killing an important person, and had even attempted to do that once before but failed.
--- Oswald started working at that building 5 months before it was even considered for JFK to go to Dallas.
--- The he-can't-fire-three-shots-that-quickly theory is silly. An 85-year-old man did it in the A&E special.
--- The Mob, the Cubans, the Russians - all rejected Oswald because he was unbalanced and violent. As the KGB agent said, "If we were going to find someone to kill Kennedy, would we have picked such an obvious person, someone who had publicly been to Russia and sent back?"
--- Although witnesses were confused (as you can imagine) the overwhelming majority of them pointed to the book depository.
The list foes on and on.
I used to be a big conspiracy buuf - I read all the books and believed that one of them had to be true. Turns out that facts can be twisted a hundred different ways, but the cold, hard facts are that Oswald was an unbalanced man who happened to be in the right place at the right time to do a terrible thing.

Lee Harvey Oswald was convicted for it, but there is still some controversy as to whether or not the whole thing was planned by an entity larger than himself.
Jack Ruby took a shot at Oswald later to try to clear his own name.
Good luck

The CIA, it was later pinned on Lee Harvey Oswald, who was killed by Jack Ruby in part of the cover-up.

Sadly, the media pretends it is a lone gunman, LHO, however, anyone who has studied the events can only conclude that Oswald was a patsy.
Why does conspiracy has such a derogatory feeling about it when discussed by the media? Nearly every criminal act involves a conspiracy. In this case, it was a number of Texans associated with LBJ.
