'''Lee Harvey Oswald''' was an [[America]]n man whom [[history]] recorded as being responsible for the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]] in [[Dallas]], [[Texas]] on [[22 November]] [[1963]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') Sources agreed that Oswald had not been wholly responsible for the assassination; one held that his biography and the assassination was engineered by the [[Time Lord]] [[Designer]] [[Berenyi]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') while another claimed that the fatal shot was taken by [[James Stevens]] in order to stop a plot by {{Delgado}} that could have resulted in [[nuclear war]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||
Berenyi spent a lot of her time on her programming of Oswald. She had him wear a [[brown]] shirt for the assassination, of which the connotations were clear, as well as making him the [[chairman]] of the [[Fair Play For Cuba]] committee, giving him a [[Russia]]n [[wife]] and even having him defect a few [[year]]s prior. She believed that [[United States government|the government]] would "love him" in this regard. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') | |||
On 23 November [[ | According to another account, Oswald was an innocent employee of the [[Texas School Book Depository]]. On the day of the assassination, he found the mentally programmed [[Francis Cleary]] with [[Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle|a rifle]] and fought him for control of the weapon. The pair scuffled and Oswald managed to tear Cleary's shirt to reveal a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] uniform underneath. He staggered backwards in shock which allowed Clearly to swing the butt of the rifle through the air and into Oswald's head, rendering him unconscious. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | ||
According to the account featuring Berenyi, as the [[President of the United States|presidential]] motorcade approached she handed Oswald the rifle, who then loaded it in preperation. Oswald fired three shots, killing Kennedy, and then put the gun down and ran down the stairs as his programming instructed him to. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') According to the account featuring Stevens and Clearly, Stevens roused Oswald into consciousness after he had killed Kennedy. A [[minute]] or two later he stumbled down the stairs, all while proclaiming his innocence. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||
Oswald was spotted by a [[policeman]] and was later [[arrest]]ed whilst visiting a [[cinema]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') On [[23 November]], the front page of the ''[[Daily Standard]]'' in [[London]] reported the capture of Oswald for the assassination of Kennedy. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Cambridge Spy (TV story)|The Cambridge Spy]]'') However, the case never made it to trial ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') because Oswald was shot and killed by [[Jack Ruby]], who was working for the [[Central Intelligence Agency]], soon afterwards. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') | |||
In [[1996]], Stevens wrote [[Who Killed Kennedy|a book]] which explained that Oswald was not the assassin after all, revealing that he had used a [[Time Ring]] to travel back in time and kill Kennedy himself. Stevens considered him "a man wronged by [[destiny]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||
