12.  There are many theories as to who truly killed
Kennedy
 The Magic Bullet Theory
 Multiple shooters/ Multiple locations
 Many are not sure what to believe because
nobody can identify how many shots were fired
 Also, the “back and to the left” theory
 A lot of people claim that Oswald couldn't be the lone
shooter because Kennedy's head went back and to the
left when he was hit, if he were shot from the TSBD, his
head would have gone forward and to the right.

14.  Many people believe that there were more
shooters than just Oswald that day
 This gives way to the theory of a conspiracy,
because now we have to figure out who else had
reason to kill Kennedy
 There are many theories as to who would possibly
want Kennedy dead due to different political
dealings
