Many JFK assassination conspiracy theories rely on false information or speculation. A 1979 House Select Committee report suggested a possible conspiracy, contradicting the Warren Commission, but relied on flawed acoustical data.
Some believe a shooter was on the Grassy Knoll, but evidence shows the shots came from the Texas Book Depository. Police found Oswald's rifle there, matching prior photos, palm prints, and coat fibers. Bullets recovered matched the gun. The Zapruder film, though silent, captured the assassination. Oliver Stone's film *JFK* falsely suggested the headshot threw Kennedy back and to the left, but physics explains this recoil effect.
The "magic bullet" theory was tested by the Discovery Channel, which duplicated the bullet's path. Despite claims Oswald couldn't have fired three shots quickly, he was a trained marksman, and the distance to Kennedy was relatively short, making it an easy shot. Oswald had motive: a troubled childhood, psychiatric issues, interest in Marxism, and disciplinary problems in the Marines.
