Warren CommissionWarren CommissionFBI Investigation of who killed JFK

Concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted independently

Page 18: The JFK Assassination

The Warren CommissionThe Warren Commission The new president, Lyndon

Johnson, set up an investigation into the assassination. The man in charge was Chief Justice Earl Warren. His report concluded that

that only three shots were fired

that the second and third of these hit Kennedy

the third shot to JFK’s head was fatal

the shots were fired from the Book Depository by Lee Harvey Oswald, who worked there.

there was only one gunman and, therefore, no conspiracy.

An official drawing from theWarren Commission. It was drawn from written descriptions – not photographs – of the wounds. The neck wound is much too high.

Page 19: The JFK Assassination

The post mortem or autopsy photo on the right shows the actual location of the bullet entry wound, as opposed to the official drawing on the left, which places it too high on the neck.

Page 20: The JFK Assassination

This drawing is also clearly wrong. The entry wound to Kennedy’s neck on the drawing on the left is both too high and too much to the side.

A drawing of the impact of the second shot fired – according to the Warren Commission. This would not have been a fatalwound.

Criticisms of the Warren CommissionCriticisms of the Warren Commission

Many accused the Warren Commission of a cover-up, claiming that:

it ignored dozens of witnesses who claimed they heard at least one shot from the grassy knoll

Oswald could not have fired such a poor quality weapon so accurately in such a short time (8.5 secs)

‘the magic bullet’ could not have caused such extensive wounds to JFK and Connally and suffer so little physical damage

there must, therefore, have been a second gunman firing at Kennedy from the grassy knoll.

two gunmen means there was a conspiracy
