As JFK was making his rounds on the public, some unfateful change in plans took place. The Security level and the President’s course changed just a few hours before the parade, although some say this points to a larger conspiracy, involving high ranking government officials, it can more so be accounted as an unfaithful coincidence and pure faith that nothing this unthinkable would happen (Duffy). Meanwhile, in the Dallas School Book Depository, lunch ladies and other patrons saw Oswald getting lunch at 12:30 p.m., when someone fired those fateful shots. Soon after, he shot dead a Dallas police officer, J. D. Tippit (Fagin). It was only after the arrest for the murder of the police officer that his fingerprints showed up in the sniper’s nest. More so, they only found 1 palm print in the sniper's nest, a place where if someone had not been wearing gloves, like Oswald, their fingerprints would be all over the immediate area (Duffy).

Furthermore, out of the 94 witness testimonies that were thrown out because they contradicted the Warren Report, 75 of them died within the 10 years following the assassination. Yet none were from natural causes. 75 people died from murder, suicide or “accident”, all of which contradicted some part on the Warren Report, most of which claimed that Oswald was not the shooter(Duffy, Hanks et al). Oswald was murdered two days following by Jack Ruby, and in a CNN documentary about the assassination, they bluntly say “Oswald’s murder was to shut him up,” most likely from the fact that he had nothing to do with the assassination, but either was a coverup or was blamed for something Oswald adamantly said he did not do (Hanks et
