What multiple arrests are you talking about?

The best and most thorough analysis of the evidence leads to one likely conclusion, in my humble opinion. Oswald did it, alone.

All this other stuff about CIA, Cuban and mob contacts means nothing. No other person or persons have been put forward as having any credible links to the shooting that day.

The simplest explanantion is that Oswald did it. If anything else is believed it has to involve at least dozens, if not hundreds, of other people. It just isn't likely that something like that could happen and stay so secret in my view.

I am open to anything but at some point I believe that one must settle on a most likely scenario, not a perfect scenario, just the most likely one.

Of course, new technologies may emerge that would be able to better discern the truth and the examine the existing evidence. There is always a chance that that will happen.

That's my two cents anyway.

Oswald getting busted twice, let go the first time.

It's nearly impossible for that gun to crank out that many accurate shots at a moving target that quickly. That makes Oswald as the single shooter not a very simple explanation, let's not even get into the magic bullet, there is NO simple explanation for that going through that many supposed ricochetes and coming out pristine. Some of the counter explanations require dozens of people to be involved, but not all. It could simply be that Oswald had a compatriot, or two or three guys did it and set him up.

Part of the problem of course is that functionally there is no existing evidence. The body is gone, the autopsy was crap, the site investigation was pathetic. All we've really got for evidence is one amateur film and a few dozen amateur photos. That evidence says there's a definite maybe.

There has been assassinations, overthrow of Governments by the OSS and the CIA all over the world, you can call them covert operations, manipulation of Governments for the protection of vital interest of the united states or whatever. What it boils down to is a conspiracy. Many have been planned and carried out and no one knows about it, the ones you know about are the failed ones and both, years later, if ever. it doesn't matter the amount of people involved, its the dedication of the conspirators to the cause!
