In your opinion, was the warren commission correct in its conclusion? Explain your answer fully using the evidence available.
In my opinion the Warren Commission was wrong in thinking that Lee Harvey Oswald could have killed President John.F.Kennedy all by himself. I agree with the Warren Commission that Lee H Oswald could have killed Officer.Tippit in order to avoid arrest. The Warren Commission final conclusions are:
a) A single gunman Lee H Oswald, using a Mannlicher-Carcno rifle, murdered President Kennedy.
b) Oswald had fired three rifle shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
c) The President had been struck from the rear by two bullets. One of these bullets had entered the back of Kennedy's head and caused his death.
d) Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone in the assassination. There had been no conspiracy.
e) Oswald had killed Officer.Tippit with four revolver shots in order to avoid arrest.
The Mannlicher-Carcano rifle could not have been used by Oswald to kill President Kennedy because when it was found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, the investigators who first saw the rifle described it as a worn out and rusty and a misallied scope. The rifle-bolt disturbed and slowed the rate of fire and disturbed the position of the eye. The rifle-bolt and the trigger were stiff. The telescopic sight could not be properly aligned with the target. This shows that the rifle could not have been used to aim properly unless a person who knows how to use the rifle knows that there is misallied scope.
Also test conducted on November 27th 1963 using the Mannlicher rifle by three rifle experts who fired three shots at a stationary target of 15 yards away and all these shots were high and to the right of the aiming point. The fastest time was 6 seconds. Then they fired three shots without aiming as fast as the bolt can be operated gave a time of 4.6 seconds. This test shows nobody could even fire and aim three shots at a stationary target in the required time.
The fastest time recorded for aiming and firing a shot from the Mannlicher rifle found in the Texas School Book Depository was 2.25 seconds and then without the telescopic sight the time was reduced to 1.65 seconds but only one shot out of three hit the target. These test were conducted in 1964. This shows that it is impossible to aim and fire a shot within 1.66 seconds. It also proves that you could not have loaded the bullet within the required time.
Police marksmen were unable to aim and fire two consecutive shots within the required time of 1.66 seconds. Amateur gunmen managed to fire within the required time but missed the second shot. Which shows that even professional could not do it and an amateur gunman did it in the required time but missed the second shot.
