I remember that day very well. I was in an elementary school in Detroit. The teacher left the room. When she came back in she was crying. She said the president had been shot and school was over for the day and we had to go home. I spent the next couple of days watching the news on TV. CNN did not exist then so we watched Huntley and Brinkley on NBC. I watched as Jack Ruby shot Lee Oswald on live national TV.
Unfortunately, a majority of people continue to believe there was a conspiracy involving (insert the CIA, Cuba or the Mafia here) in the JFK assassination, when, in fact, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any type of conspiracy. All the hard evidence points directly at Lee Harvey Oswald.
Most murder cases have a few solid pieces of evidence pointing to a suspect. Oswald probably has about 50 pieces of iron-clad evidence pointing at him.

The U.S. National Geographic channel showed a good relatively new 3 part documentary with original survivors from that time(secret service and other witnesses including the guy that drove Oswald to the school book depository that day with Oswald having "curtain rods" with him in a paper bag). It was on repeat a few nights ago.
Marina's friend(or was she a roommate at the house, not sure) said that Oswald was upset that his mom sent him to an orphanage.
She also said that he did not want Marina to learn English.

If there was a conspiracy I could believe the mafia was involved. They were pissed that Joe Kennedy got them to give John the Teamsters vote, but then felt betrayed when Robert Kennedy started going after them.
And what was the deal with Jack Ruby (a minor mob guy) killing Lee Harvey Oswald?

Yeah, even though it is pretty clear Oswald did it, that betrayal story with the mob happened and what was up with Ruby?
I don't think the mob would have had anything to do with Edwin Walker though.

Oswald's would-be victim on April 10, 1963, was an ultra-conservative firebrand named Edwin Walker.
