the trouble with this case is that there were a whole lot of people with motive. Some of them were in the Cuban community, literally had bumper stickers on their cars suggesting JFK be killed.
There were certainly some mafia people not very happy with JFK and one of them actually started running his mouth that he had ordered the hit, and then not long after that, he was found dead in a barrel floating in the water.
There surely were people who were gleeful about the death of JFK after it happened, and made comedy of the horrendous death by gunshot. Such persons as the owner of the TSBD at the time that Oswald was hired, Harold Byrd, whom after the fact, removed a window from TSBD and hung it in his big game room as a trophy kill. Bryd was good friend of LBJ and benefited remarkably coincidental with being awarded the contract to build A7 Corsair aircraft, by LBJ.
Other players who may have not been directly in the loop but were certainly willing to play along after the fact: FBI agent Hoover, and the former CIA director Dulles,(fired by JFK) and CIA counterintelligence director James Angelton. Angelton especially is suspect, given his view that national security gave the CIA extra ordinary power above and beyond allowed by the US Constitution. JFK gave a speech one month before the assassination, suggesting CIA be scattered to the winds. So motive of CIA to be involved is not an unreasonable hypothesis.
Then there are people who actually confessed to being involved in a conspiracy on their deathbed such as John Martino, who said he was to pay 2 gunman 50K. But James Files claims to be a Grassy Knoll shooter too, so there are some kooks as well.
Then there is Oswald, who himself is a curious figure, seems to be a nexus of many different characters from George deMorhenshildt, the Paines, the FBI, the CIA, Jack Ruby and the Mafia, and the CIA defector program which Oswald seems to have been one the primary players.
And of all the plausible characters in the Mafia, CIA, FBI, and LBJ too, who have motive, Oswald is the one with LEAST motive comparatively.
But the evidence that is submitted all points to Oswald and its either a very meticulous set up or Oswald is at least one of the shooters.
Even if one accepts that the physical evidence submitted by the WC investigation is correct (which is difficult because of all the mishandling of evidence and moving of evidence), one still has to be suspicious there was a 2nd gunman along with Oswald, because of certain problems with the trajectory path of the bullet thru the JFK skull and the timing of the shots, which appear to be all in a span of 4.8 sec and the last 2 shots heard in about 1 sec apart spacing, too fast to be a bolt action MC rifle.
Im still studying this 15 years after i started using the internet and about 10 years at least right here on the JFK assassination forum, and Im still perplexed and cannot resolve a lot of problems, such as the paper bag found but having prints in the absolutely wrong place and the failure to photo the bag. And there is issue of Dorothy Garner exiting the 4th floor office just about 10 seconds after Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles began down the staircase approx 25 sec post shots. Oswald cannot even reach the 4th floor landing until 45 sec post shots.
There are the witnesses who died rather coincidentally, and from unusual means, some even being shot, or supposedly suicide, heartattack, single car crash at high speed into fixed concrete barrier as though being run off the road, one found dead in her cell, apparently hanged herself. And Oswald himself, gets shot too, before having a trial.
There is too much here to ignore (for me at least) to confidently conclude the simple solution is correct, a lone Kook Marxist defector US Marine just up and decided on a whim to shoot the US President because of just reading a paper and noticing the route of the motorcade would go past his place of work.
