Consistent with the Warren Report, at present, the U.S. government’s official belief is that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin who killed President John F. Kennedy on Elm Street at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Although many hypotheses have questioned the scientific validity of the Warren Report and hence Oswald’s guilt, there has never been any peer-reviewed evidence of Oswald’s innocence. This paper offers evidence to demonstrate that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill President Kennedy and from the moment he was arrested to his death, he was framed up as the fall guy.

We studied the evidence of Oswald’s potential participation in the assassination from three separate angles. (A) Review of Oswald’s previous work consistent with his services for the U.S. government. (B) Review of the evidence by the Dallas city police and FBI declaring Oswald as a suspect in the assassination. (C) Review of forensic evidence to prove Oswald’s innocence.

Review of Evidence of Oswald’s Work for the U.S. Government

Several documents clearly demonstrate that Lee Harvey Oswald had worked for the U.S. government.

1. The evidence shows that Lee Harvey Oswald contracted gonorrhea in the line of duty in 1958.

2. Oswald also worked for the CIA and carried an identification card DD Form 1173, which was the same type of ID carried by U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers who was a civilian employee and a CIA contract agent (Dalla Municipal Archives and Records Center).

3. Shortly before his arrest in the assassination of President Kennedy, Oswald had contact with the FBI as an informer.

The Evidence That Oswald was Framed

1. Oswald was framed at the killer precisely 70 minutes after the assassination when there was no reason to make him a suspect for the assassination.

2. The Dallas police misled the public by declaring that Oswald was the primary suspect, for he was supposedly the only missing employee at the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963, where the evidence shows that there were at least four people missing.

The Evidence That Oswald Did Not Kill Officer Tippit

1. The ballistic evidence did not match Oswald’s gun. The ballistic expert from the FBI concluded that it was not possible to determine whether or not the bullets had been fired from Oswald’s weapon. No external physical evidence such as fingerprints or shirt fibers linking Oswald to the crime scene was established.

2. The ballistic evidence proved that Oswald was not the killer of Officer Tippit. Of the four bullets extracted from Tippit’s body, there were three Western Winchesters and one Remington Peters. Oswald’s revolver (a .38) contained six rounds of live ammunition at the time of his arrest. The four empty shells found at that time at the murder site were two Remingtons and two Winchesters and Oswald’s revolver did not eject empty cases. Rather, Oswald’s revolver had an automatic ejection system, whereby all six shells should have been ejected at once.

Ballistic Evidence Proving Oswald’s Innocence

1. The trajectory of the bullets suggests that the bullet that struck JFK was shot from the front, consistent with a frontal entry and exit from the back according to the autopsy findings. Fragments of JFK’s skull and blood splattered the motorcycle policeman who was behind the presidential limousine on the left side, again consistent with a shot with a frontal entry.

2. Paraffin tests conducted on Lee Harvey Oswald were negative on his face, which meant Oswald had not fired a rifle that day. The FBI submitted the paraffin tests to the Atomic Energy Commission’s facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where Dr. Frank Dyer and Dr. Juel Emery tested them using neutron activation analysis. They concluded that the cheek testing could not be specifically associated with a rifle, therefore exonerating Lee Harvey Oswald.

One of the saddest aspects of President Kennedy’s assassination has been the unethical and unprofessional conduct of many government physicians, including Dr. George Burkley, the chief White House physician, and Dr. James Humes, the senior pathologist at Bethesda Naval Hospital, at the time of the autopsy. To say that their performance is a blemish for Navy medicine and governmental integrity is a gross understatement.

Dr. George Burkley and Dr. Humes, in writing, admitted that they jointly destroyed part of the autopsy records. Further, some of the most routine aspects of the autopsy were done so poorly to suggest perjured incompetence. The best example is the weight of the president’s brain – which had lost half of its content, weighed 1500 grams, an impossibility with 1500 grams as the average brain weight. Brain autopsy did not include cross-sectioning, a major deficit. There was no careful documentation of how the entry wound on JFK’s throat was probed. Mysteriously or not so mysteriously, a bullet recovered from JFK’s body disappeared either during or immediately after the autopsy. If none of the above inconsistencies seemed accidental, the disappearance of JFK’s occipital bone, the Harper fragment, left no doubt that some people, for whatever reason, did not want forensic evidence to help resolve JFK’s homicidal death. The Harper fragment found by a medical student at Dealey Plaza the day after the assassination was photographed by Dr. Cairn, the chief pathologist at Methodist Hospital, who concluded that this piece represented a part of the occipital bone of JFK’s skull. Dr. Burkley took over the Harper fragment and later it disappeared. Dr. Cairn, of course, did not know that the Parkland doctors had observed a sizeable hole in the back of the president’s skull consistent with an occipital location. The findings of the Parkland Hospital doctors and the opinion of the chief pathologist of Methodist Hospital greatly increase the likelihood that, indeed, the Harper fragment was from JFK’s occipital bone and very likely supportive of a conspiracy, for Oswald, from his position, could not have caused the damage consistent with a frontal entry wound

Doctors are not supposed to lie. No doctor should remain a doctor and violate the Hippocratic Oath. JFK’s autopsy is a sad statement that, indeed, at least two doctors violated their sacred oath.
