Book Chapter
The Commission Has Investigated Rumors That Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald Were Both Homosexuals
2021
Overview
In the wake of the assassination, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed a commission to look into the facts surrounding the murders of President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. The report took its name from Chief Justice Earl Warren, who chaired the commission. The report concluded that Oswald was the lone gunman in the president’s murder. This chapter focuses on the report’s emphasis on the potential homosexuality of both Oswald and his killer, Jack Ruby. It also considers the impact of a case DA Jim Garrison argued before the Supreme Court in 1964. The finding in that case further empowered the prominent DA, leading to his reelection in 1965. It was during this second term that Garrison began an investigation into the possibility of a New Orleans-based conspiracy in the president’s murder.
