Sam Giancana
Sam Giancana was a top mobster. He was the head of the Mafia in Chicago. He and the other members of the Mafia were known as the 'Untouchables'. The Mafia was originated in Sicily. He had many connections with people in high places such as Joe Kennedy, John F. Kennedy's dad. Joe Kennedy was also known to be a boot legger and that made him seem a little dodgy. There are many reasons why Sam Giancana might want John F. Kennedy dead.
First of all Joe Kennedy was supposed to have met Sam Giancana and asked him to fix the votes by making Union Officials vote for John F. Kennedy so that he would win. When the Election Day came it turned out that John F. Kennedy won but it was only by approximately 10,000. When Sam Giancana saw that John F. Kennedy had won the vote he thought that John F. Kennedy would turn a blind eye to his illegal doings and he thought John F. Kennedy would owe him something in return. However when John F. Kennedy came to power, Robert Kennedy became Attorney General and decided to take action against Sam Giancana and other high-powered mobsters. Sam Giancana was taken to court but was so cool that they couldn't charge him. This annoyed Sam Giancana but he decided to let him off. Sam Giancana still thought that John F. Kennedy owed him something but that wasn't right.
