However, before the police had time to question Oswald and get any type of concrete evidence against him, a man named Jack Ruby walked up and shot Oswald while he was being transferred form the county jail, killing him instantly. Ruby was immediately arrested and taken to county jail. (Burr, p.3)After hours of questioning by the Warren Commission, Ruby gave no specific reason for his murderous act upon Oswald.

When looking at the most helpful film of the assassination known as the "Zapruder film" one can see that the president's body movements alone disprove the Warren Commission's lone assassin theory. In the 312th frame of the "Zapruder film" the impact of the fatal third shot can be noted. Precisely as the fatal shot strikes Kennedy's head his body is jolted forward at a rate of 69.9 feet per second. The forward motion, however, comes to an abrupt halt a mere 1/18th of a second later. In the 314th frame the president's head begins to accelerate backwards and to the left. (Callahan, p.81)The sudden forward movement of the president's head was due to the force of the bullet striking the back of his head. But what was the sudden movement backwards caused by? Afte...
