The third, and most controversial, was the fatal shot that pierced the back of his skull and blew to bits once it was inside, mortally injuring JFK. He was pronounced dead hours later at a near by hospital.
The conspiracy
From all the speculations and testimony and unknown evidence of JFK 's Assassination, Americans have not yet fully known who killed John F.Kennedy.
In most cases we presumed the murderer to be Lee Harvey Oswald, but was in fact not conventially true.
The true murderer was nearly unnoticed, it was Secret Agent George Hickey, "The smoking gun" known as the AR-15.
This was all covered up by the Secret Service and therefore concluded the murderer was Oswald.
