Evidence
It might seem that the question of conspiracy could be easily laid to rest one way or another by a look at the evidence. How many bullets were fired, and from what weapons? Where were wounds inflicted? What did witnesses report seeing?
In the Kennedy assassination, this seemingly straightforward approach leads rapidly to a fascinating quicksand of contradictory physical evidence, conflicting witness accounts, credible allegations of evidence manipulation and witness tampering, and more. Close examination of the evidence remains obviously important, but has its own challenges in this case.
