(21,786 posts)Or to do with all of the physical and circumstantial evidence that says Oswald's rifle was used to shoot Kennedy and that Oswald himself pulled the trigger?
Wikipedia clearly needs better editors, because the HSCA found no such thing. They found that Oswald killed Kennedy, that there was no question that the bullets known to have struck Kennedy and Connally were fired from Oswald's rifle, from the sixth floor of the TSBD, and, by process of elimination, by Oswald. The finding of possible conspiracy did not point to the Mafia or any other specific conspirators and hinged entirely on a dictabelt recording presumed to have been made in or near Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination that recorded "impulses" taken for gunshots. Subsequent analyses of that recording have shown that it cannot be simultaneous with the assassination, that it cannot have come from a police motorcycle in the motorcade, and that the impulses aren't gunshots.
