Who Killed Kennedy? I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald could have killed President Kennedy. Shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President John F.

Lee Harvey Oswald owned the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository on Friday afternoon, November 22, 1963. At about 12:40 p.m., Oswald boarded a city bus but (probably due to heavy traffic) he requested a transfer from the driver and got off two blocks later.
The motive would be that despite the mafia’s major role in Kennedy getting elected, the president had Marcello deported just after he entered into office. Marcello then threaten JFK to get a “nut” to kill him. Despite this the mafia wouldn’t have used someone as inexperienced as Lee Harvey Oswald to do the job. Also the mafia couldn’t have gotten away with the job by itself so this theory doesn’t explain why the government covered it up. Possibly theory’s to the cover up have been: that the mafia black-mailed the government or in exchange for the cover up they would kill Castro.

On the day of the assassination Ulysses S. Grant was expected to attend Our American Cousin with the Lincolns. Eisenschiml argued that had Grant attended, the military guards who protected him would never have allowed Booth to enter the State Box at Ford's Theatre.
