The next question is did he have help [well not to get away since he had to try and fail to catch a bus after the assassination]? Was he being manipulated?
There is no such thing as the magic bullet. The way Kennedy and Governor Connolly were seated in the vehicle when the shots were fired as portrayed in the movie JFK (and I'm sure other conspiracy places) is incorrect. JFK is filled with so many factual errors its just sad really. The Discover Channel recreated the assassination in a documentary recently and pretty much proved Oswald acted alone.
There is not one thing claimed in the movie 'JFK' which is true, or cannot be shown to be bogus.
Yet the most peculiar aspect of that leftist, bullying epic is that it uses the most rabid, right-wing source, L Fletcher Prouty [who becomes the Mr X] and who was not only a vile lunatic -- though very smooth in delivery -- he was so dotty he was himself fooled by a journalistic hoax, 'Report from Iron Mountain' for his evidence of a military-driven coup against Kennedy.
The Magic Bullet is not magical. It did what a fully metal jacketed bullet is supposed to do. As it exited JFK it slowed and tumbled which damaged but did not kill Gov. Connally. A neutron-activation analysis in the late 70's showed that the fragment in his thigh matched the mostly intact bullet found on his stretcher.

Jonathan that is the most thought provking and a amazing post that answered my question thanks.
It is probably old to our cousins in the good ole USA but to us downunder there is a new movie on the JFK assassination.
It is called 'The American Trap' or 'An American Trap' and follows the French assassins theory and is the story of Jules Rivard(apologies if spelling is
wrong) and shows how he ran heroin for Carlos Marcello from France to Montreal, and shows the New Orleans links.
Quite an interesting movie, well acted and shows some angles and links to the mob and how the French guy got set up and was in gaol when Bobby Kennedy was shot.
As for Oswald I find it intriguing that the first rifle shown was clearly a Mauser and ID'd as such by competent police, which later became a Mannlicher-Carcano, after finding A.J. Hidell had ordered a Mannlicher.
I personally like what is said in the book 'Blood, Money and Power,' which shows where the money came from, why it had to be done, and who profited
the most. Just because it is written by a lawyer who knew Dallas and Texas dealings better than most, I find it a credible read. Oswald was set up, and realised it too late. Another good book is "Oswald Talked". Showing that he knew Jack Ruby and was working on chasing the guns stolen from an army base and finding their way to Cuban counter-revolutionaries.
Well, the most interesting thing with Oswald is his army-time; he openly met Japanese commies and openly studied Russian in his base. All this in a post-MCCarthy top secret base...
All the best

I started to wind my film again and I heard a loud noise. I thought that this noise was either a firecracker or a car has backfired. I looked up and it seemed like there was another loud noise in the matter of a few seconds. I looked down the street and I could see the President's car and another one and they looked like the cars were stopped. Then I saw a flash of pink like someone standing up and then sitting back down in the car. Then I ran around so I could look over the back of a monument and I either saw the following then or when I was standing back down on the corner of Elm Street. I cannot remember exactly where I was When I saw the following I heard at least two shots fired and I saw what looked like a firecracker going off in the President's car. My assumption for this was because I saw fragments going up in the air. I also saw a man in either the President's car or the car behind his and someone down in one of those carspulled what looked like a rifle. I also remember seeing what looked like a nickel revolver in someone's hand in the president's car or somewhere immediately around his car. Then the President's car sped on the underpass. Police and a lot of spectators started running up the hill on the opposite side of the street from me to a fence of wood. I assumed that that was where the shot was fired from at the time.
His head went back & too the left (a shot fired from below).
