Question

The Kennedy assassination has led to unending debate if there was a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy or if Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. The Earl Warren Commission concluded no conspiracy but many investigators have concluded that the mafia and/or the communists were responsible. Oliver Stone's movie JFK concluded that there was the same government cabal responsible for John's, Bobby's and MLK's deaths. What do you think? Will we ever know the truth? Create an argument through the use of historical evidence

Answer 1

I don't think we will ever know the truth. Too much time has passed since the event which has resulted in the loss of most if not all of the evidence. Also, due to the event taking place almost 60 years ago, the technology for recording statements, evidence collection, and other investigative protocols were sadly missing. Also, the main accused Lee Harvey Oswald was killed within days of the assassination of the president. He could have provided important information which could have led the investigation in the right direction. Therefore, there are no proper statements or pieces of evidence which could help in knowing the truth.

From the historical point of view as well, we have seen countless cases where after some time, the pieces of evidence get lost, witnesses pass away which results in the loss of methods to determine the truth. Some of the examples are the zodiac case that gripped the USA or Jack the ripper who terrorized London. In these cases, police were never able to identify the culprits.
