    Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered two days after he was arrested for assassinating US President John F. Kennedy. But before Oswald died, he claimed that a damning piece of evidence against him - a photo showing Oswald holding the rifle that killed the president - was fake. In fact, he said his face was superimposed onto another person’s body to set him up.
    The photo’s authenticity has been in question ever since, and it plays a key role in the conspiracy theory surrounding JFK’s death. The shadows in the photo seem inconsistent, and Oswald’s crooked stance under the weight of the rifle looks like he is about to tip over. Plus, his face doesn’t look the same as it does in his mug shot.
    For decades, conspiracy theorists have used this image as key evidence to suggest that Oswald was framed. But decades of analysis - including recent 3D forensic analysis - has proved over and over that the photo is likely authentic.

    Thanks for watching! Correction: At 10:33, we say the accuracy for the 2-second test is 50%. It's actually 65%, as you can see on the chart. There was 50% accuracy when subjects were shown the images for 1 second each.

      And 1.75 metres is 5'9", not 5'8". Could you clarify that? Are we seeing again the usual attention to detail that goes into forensic "science"? If I had to bet I'd bet on its being an unretouched photo, but this doesn't increase my confidence.

      A much more important question is how is a photo of a similar rifle enough evidence to convict.....could another not be produced alike 🤔 .
      This would not work these days to prosecute indicates a corrupt justice system.
      Lastly I appreciate the documentaries but it is as if you are tip toeing to now tell anything critical....but just explain why we should believe our government and the system around us
      Would love to see a documentary on how jfk's first move was going to be to investigate 🔎 and possibly shut down the Cia? And then shot dead ?????

      I'm not saying there wasn't a cover-up, but I think this picture is a diversion. There's real evidence out there that says Oswald didn't shoot Kennedy with a rifle, and it's the paraffin and nitrate test results, that came out on Nov 23. They were negative for firing a rifle. More than if a picture was doctored or not, the important fact is that Lee didn't shoot Kennedy, and there's a negative nitrate test that proves it.

      I subscribe to the WC report, the Clark report, and the HSCA investigation, all of which found and support the conclusion that Oswald shot and killed Kennedy, wounded Connally, and then killed Officer Tippit, and he acted alone.
      Read the WC report, look up the others, it’s all there and has been for many years. The evidence isn’t flexible, it isn’t interchangeable, it’s solid and has stood the same for 60 years.

You can't prove a negative, and these theories put the responsibility on the critic to disprove a thing. It's impossible to disprove that Oswald did not shoot Kennedy, and the harder you try, the more fuel you give the fire.

    Some questions to consider: Why would Oswald go through the trouble to have these pictures taken of him holding up the soon to be murder weapon along with a newspaper? If in fact that is him in these pictures, his motivation would appear twofold:
    1. Oswald would have intended for the authorities to discover these pics (in order to)
    2. Clearly show that he was in fact the man who shot Kennedy.
    These pics scream- "Hello world! This is me proudly holding up the murder weapon in a recently taken photograph. Make no mistake, I'm the guy who shot Kennedy."
    Yet after his arrest, Oswald adamantly denies any involvement in the pics and the assassination?? Why go through the trouble to so blatantly implicate yourself only to deny afterwards? Where will that get you?
    The logic here does not match up.

    That point about how humans are unable to quickly see inconsistencies with lighting is important for 3D artists.

The police took more prints from Oswald's body at the funeral home although they had already done so on the Friday at the station. Then on Monday, surprise, surprise, the police discovered a palm print - that's convenient. But that turns out to be poor and unusable. So, no forensic ties to that gun.

    There is at least two light sources of that photo. If you look at the direction and length of the shadows cast by the wooden stairs above, behind and to the left of oswalds body, those shadows would be from a high source (probably the sun) almost directly overhead (noonish) and slightly to the left and behind Oswald because the step shadows are quite long compared to how much they actually protrude out. This is directly in contrast to oswalds shadow cast by his body which is "back and to the left" (no pun intended) in the photo which would say the light source is in front of Oswald and to the right (earlier morning perhaps depending on aspect of photographer). Either way the, the direction of shadow of the steps and the direction of the shadow cast by oswalds body cast two different directions, concluding either two light sources for the photo or Oswalds body and shadow were super imposed into that background photo.

    the photo even if it is Oswald is NOT "JFKs killer". Oswald never went to trial or was convicted and there were 2 rifles found on the 6th floor. Also, an employee working at the time said she was standing near the bottom of the stairs that lead to the 6th floor of the school book depository and said Oswald never went up or came down the stairs anytime before or after the assassination. The Warren commission did not report the two rifles found, only the rifle Oswald owned which by itself isn't foolproof evidence, especially considering all the evidence and witness testimony that was ignored by the FBI and the Warren commission.

      “there were 2 rifles found on the 6th floor.”
      Wrong. Only one rifle was found. You have no evidence for another one.
      “an employee working at the time said she was standing near the bottom of the stairs that lead to the 6th floor of the school book depository and said Oswald never went up or came down the stairs anytime before or after the assassination.”
      Victoria Adams was mistaken in her estimate of the time and must have used the back staircase a few minutes after Oswald’s descent (as well as Truly and Baker’s ascension), based on the fact that she saw Depository foreman William Shelley and employee Billy Lovelady as soon as she reached the first floor.
      Both men told authorities in 1964 that they were outside the Depository at the time of the shots, ran to the railroad yards immediately thereafter, and didn’t reenter the building until a few minutes later.
      Adams testified she left the building by the rear loading dock (after encountering Shelley and Lovelady), made her way around to the front of the building, and heard a report (later proved incorrect) over a nearby police radio that shots were thought to have been fired from the second or fourth floor of the Depository (6 H 391). The two earliest such reports were made over channel 2, one at 12:39 and the other at 12:40 p.m.-nine to ten minutes after the shooting (NAS-CBA DPD tapes, C2, 12:39-40 p.m.)-which is not only consistent with the statements of Shelley and Lovelady, but also strongly suggestive, all
      by itself, that Adams didn’t come down the back stairs immediately after the shooting, as she claimed. Eddie Piper told the Commission that he was standing near the back elevators when Truly and Baker ran over, unsuccessfully tried to call one of the elevators down, and dashed up the stairs. Piper stated that “nobody” came down the stairs before Truly and Baker went up, which Adams and Styles would have done if they had come down the stairs immediately. When Piper was specifically asked, “Did you see Vicky Adams come down the steps . . . before Truly and the man [Baker] went up the steps?” he responded, “No, sir, no, sir. She didn’t do it”

      Nobody can put the rifle in Oswald’s hands while it’s being fired, so I don’t think anyone who believes in a conspiracy can ever be convinced it wasn’t..
      However, there’s no doubt Lee was a cop killer.. Theres witnesses and evidence strewn across 6 city blocks.. The most damaging being the jacket the alleged killer discarded under a car 3 blocks from the murder scene.. And the reason is, nobody can reasonably claim the jacket was planted, because nobody knew a cop would be murdered right there and right then.. And they certainly wouldn’t know an escape route that didn’t exist until the killer stopped shooting.. And consequently, conspiracy believers have no answer for why the jacket is there..
      The alleged killer’s movement were tracked by 14 witnesses at the scene, or along Patton St.. 11 of them said it was Oswald.. 2said it looked a lot like Oswald, and one said he didn’t get a good enough look to ID anyone.. 2of these witnesses followed the killer when he turned on Jefferson St.. At a distance, because he was armed.. And they lost him near a Texaco gas station/ used car lot.. Another witness see the same man in the Texaco parking lot.. All 3 said the alleged killer was wearing a light colored jacket, and all 3 said it was Oswald they saw.. And remember, WE KNOW this person murdered the officer, because he was never out of sight from witnesses along his escape route, until Reynolds and Patterson lose him at the Texaco.. And immediately after, Mary Brock sees him in the Texaco parking lot, wasp king briskly towards the back of the parking lot… Where a light colored jacket is found..
      The jacket, itself, is IDed by Marina Oswald as Lee Oswald’s jacket.. And fibers on the inside lining matched the shirt Oswald was arrested in.. And this was an unusual shirt, with a spectrum of 75 colors, per thread, ranging from brown to yellow.. And of course, Oswald is arrested without his jacket, which we know he was wearing.. A light colored Eisenhower jacket..
      Now, there’s only one reason why Lee would be discarding his jacket in that parking lot.. The jacket is devastating evidence.. It buttresses the shells and proves they weren’t switched, and it buttresses the IDs, which conspiracy believes always gripe about..
      Most definitely a cop killer.. How that effects your thought on JFK is up to you..

      Did 2 people toss their jackets that afternoon?.. Both light colored?.. Both looking enough like Oswald that 14 witnesses, none of whom said it wasn’t Oswald, got it wrong?!.. lol..
      And we know it wasn’t switched in police custody, because Capt Westbrook took possession of the jacket at the scene, from under a car, and he later IDed the jacket to the Warren Commission as the jacket he found..
      Lol.. Do you really make excuses for cop killers?.. Just so you can feel smart?..

      And 11 of 14 witnesses of this event, or it’s aftermath, said Oswald was the man they saw.. And of the remaining 3?.. 2 said it looked a lot like Oswald, and the final guy said he didn’t get a good enough look to ID anyone..

Not to mention the photographer being right at the spot of second killing was very suspicious coincidence.

      I accept it because literally dozens of forensic photographic experts say they’re genuine..
      And I believe Marina for a few reasons.. One, she’s never wavered from that statement, and she’ll tell you today, if you ask her, that she took the pics… Even though she’s a conspiracy believer.. And secondly, if they are genuine, which they are, then who is the most likely person to have taken the pics?..

      You mean the Carcano the Oswald DID NOT USE
      Remember, the first rifle they found was a Mauser. This morphed into a Manlicher to fit the story of the mail order etc. It was a conspiracy
