Was There a Government Coverup of a Conspiracy?
Without question, there has been a wide-ranging and long-lasting coverup of evidence of a conspiracy, despite the denials that such has been the case. This part of the present essay only scratches the surface of this coverup, discussed in more detail elsewhere on this website. The original presumption that Oswald was the killer sprang naturally enough from the incriminating evidence of the rifle and shells found in the Texas School Book Depository and traced to him. But then, when Oswald was killed in police custody on national television, suspicion was naturally raised in the mind of many citizens.
