Oswald Shot Dead on Live TV: Justice Never Delivered
Lee Harvey Oswald was shot dead in the basement of Dallas police headquarters by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner with Mafia connections, during a live television broadcast on November 24, 1963. Millions watched it happen. Ruby said he acted spontaneously to spare Jacqueline Kennedy a public trial. Oswald had denied shooting the president. He died without a trial. Everything that happened after — every conspiracy theory, every investigation, every doubt — flows from two days in Dallas.
