I'm pretty sure the other shooter was handled the same way Oswalt was. I will never believe Jack Ruby killed LHO just because he was a good American who wanted revenge for JFK's assassination. Ruby was a nefarious character to put it nicely and most people in the south hated Kennedy.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but to think that Kennedy's assassination was as cut and dry as the Warren Commision made it out to be is being obtuse.

The movie Parkland depicts what happened very well. The local coroner wanted to conduct the autopsy but the Secret Service bullied past everyone and ran off with the body to Air Force One.

Then how come Oswald's rifle was found to be terribly inaccurate? So inaccurate that a sharpshooter couldn't even hit a bulleyes 15 feet away. How was Oswald able to blow JFK's brains out with said rifle?

Also physics have shown that the type of injury that JFK incurred from the head shot could only be explained by a bullet hitting his head tangential from the front. Such an impact would cause the explosion seen.

Back and to the left. Back and to the left.

Other shooter managed to escape area, but was killed pretty soon after the deed, and his death has never yet been connected to any of this.

Other than common sense, physics, and the ability to actually do the shooting in the time frame of less than 6 seconds. And like another poster said: back and to the left, back and to the left. And there's NO WAY to get back and to the left from behind and to the right.

Why? Because Texas law states that the autopsy must be done in Texas when a murder occurs.

There are 4000 theories and only one truth, which we will never know. Too much muck to sort through. Think about it this way, they were able to figure out that a shot came from an upstairs window in the Book Depositry and were able to apprehend the shooter pretty quick - but not at the scene. If a shot came from the GK don't you think they would have known and been looking for that person too, there was a very large crowd in the area. It has also been proven that the shot could not have come from the front. Oswald did not act alone in my opinion but he was the lone shooter.

I saw one documentary that said that a headshot from the back right would cause the body to jerk back and left.

Something I have never figured out about the idea of a grassy knoll shooter is that if a shot came from that direction, Kennedy's wound would be a front left entrance, and back right exit.

Oswald was spared? Pretty sure Jack Ruby Killed him.

Oswald was supposed to get out of the area as well, and be silenced later, that is my opinion.
The original plan fell apart, and Jack Ruby was part of plan B.

The reason I don't believe that Oswald was the lone shooter : He was a pretty undisciplined person, and a guy like that usually never reaches the skill level required to make all of those shots, in the time that it happened.

I'm not saying that the other shooter was on the grassy knoll either, he could have been some other place.

Just too hard to prove after all of these years and the many theories that are still coming out. In college I read just about every book out there on the subject - until I finally realized that they were all full of shite. I can't bring myself to read another one.

I actually never read a single book about it, I just know how hard it would be for 1 man to make all of those shots,with that junk arse rifle, in that time frame.

Keep in mind, Oswald qualified as a marksman In USMC with a pretty good rifle.
That sounds OK right?
Have to keep in mind though, that is the lowest level of qualifying, The steps are Marksman, then Sharpshooter,then Expert.So as a shooter, he was pretty much just usable.

And that's pretty much what it was; entered just above the left ear and exited, and blew a hole, in the middle of the back of the head (lower back of the head).
