There is no film of Oswald himself shooting at anything. There are no photos or films of Oswald in or around Dealy Plaza at all that day.
Only one witness saw someone shooting but couldn't ID who, not even in any of the three (3) police lineups Oswald was in before he died. So, there are no witnesses that identified Lee Harvey Oswald shooting in Dealy Plaza.
No witness put Oswald on the sixth floor of the building at the time of the shooting. Not even his co-workers.
There was no trial of Oswald since he died 2 days later.
Oswald was very adept at hiding his activities and shady associations (and he had many). So adept that you really can't prove that he was (or was not) part of a conspiracy.
NBC's Tom Brokaw said (I believe in 1999) that there might be "a million" more govt documents still secret, some to be released as late as 2050. This after thousands were released in the 1990's (with heavy "redactions").
The news was broken in 1963 but with only circumstantial evidence, and the November 22nd evidence was never used at a trial. Therefore, the Warren Commission had to postulate the two (2) Lone Nut theory, and they said themselves that it was only a theory.
What definite news was broken that day? Only that four men were shot (Kennedy, Connally, bystander Tague, Officer Tippett). Two days later the news was "broken" that a fifth man was shot: Oswald. Once you get beyond these basic facts you get into vague territory.
Some people believe the 2 Lone Nut theory primarily because they haven't yet found a better theory. Remember, no film of Oswald, no witnesses against him, no trial, and all those still-secret documents.
