Danmand is correct. Circumstantial evidence is enough to convict or at least, establish reasonable doubt for the accused, Lee Harvey Oswald. I have studied this case for over 30 years, have attended conferences, associated with researchers, been to Dallas many times, and even knew a Toronto researcher that was visited by a CIA agent (probably, not admitted though) in the early 90s.
It is ironic that the famous Manson prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, who wrote the lone gunman tome, Reclaiming History, arguing that Lee Harvey Oswald did it, wrote this about circumstantial evidence when he was campaigning for AG of L.A. and wanted to resurrect the case of the RFK Assassination:
"Conspiracies are proven bit by bit, speck by speck, brick by brick,
until all of a sudden you have a mosaic. They are proven by circumstantial
evidence. Conspiracies are conceived in shadowy recesses. They are not hatched
on television in front of 5,000,000 witnesses." page 304 from "The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy - The Conspiracy
and Coverup" by William Turner & Jonn Christian, paperback edition 2006.
Nobody has ever duplicated what Oswald was alleged to have done. Only one man got 2 hits in 3 shots in the 'required' time, but only after his 3rd attempt, and he was a weapons engineer (Howard Donahue, who wrote the book Mortal Error, in which he concluded that Secret Service Agent George Hickey let off a round from his AR-15 by accident that fatally struck JFK from behind. However, analysis of the film taken by Charles Bronson (not the actor) from the opposite direction of Abraham Zapruder, does not support this theory. Nor were there any witnesses on Elm street that saw this happen.). And the Mannlicher-Carcano that Donahue used was in good working order too. Even a famous American sniper (can't recall his name at the moment) says that Oswald could not have made the shots.
Anyways, I can go on and on and on and on. And will return later to comment more, but have a date
Lee Harvey Oswald was no lone nut. Why on earth did they classify millions of pages of documents (most of which have been released) if a lone nut did it? What a crock! There are about 30,000 pages still locked up, and despite the JFK Records Act of 1992, Donald Trump caved to pressure from mostly likely the CIA and possibly FBI to not comply with that legislation and hold off. (Google Dan Hardaway's paper CIA Flips Off America. Dan Hardaway was a young legal investigator during the House Select Committee on Assassination's investigation in the mid 70s which concluded that JFK was probably murdered as a result of conspiracy by unknown persons, but leaned towards the Mob. However, the late George Joannides of the CIA, basically told Hardaway to fuck off, as he controlled the flow of info from the CIA. The Mob did work with the CIA in trying to get rid of Castro, but as far as their involvement goes, I would say it was getting Ruby to silence Oswald, and maybe having a hit man or two in Dealey Plaza).
In fact, Dr. John Newman, an ex-intelligence analyst for the military, has concluded that Oswald was probably a fake defector (run out of Nagshead facility in Georgia or the Carolinas) working for James Jesus Angelton (who I would call the equivalent of the Cigarette Smoking Man), head of the CIA's Counter-Intelligence Department, in search of a Russian mole within the CIA, based on his examination of documents and routing slips. Newman has written some monumental books on this subject (Oswald & The CIA, JFK and Vietnam, and some current ones like Into The Storm).
If you want to read some excellent research papers on the assassination, visit these websites which are not tin foil hat but scholarly ('Home' is Michael T. Griffith's excellent website, Kennedy and King is DiEugenio's, JFK Facts is by Jefferson Morley who has sued the CIA):
Home page of site dedicated to the political legacy of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X, and to their assassinations.

A great book is JFK And The Unspeakable by James W. Douglas, as well as books by James DiEugenio, Jefferson Morley, D.B. Thomas. Another 3 volume book that shows reasonable doubt in favour of Oswald, is Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald, by Barry Krusch (he has a website with a free appendix IIRC, and there's a You Tube video where he counters Bill O'Reilly's Killing Kennedy hypothesis).
Josiah Thompson who wrote one of the first great books Six Seconds in Dallas (a microstudy), will come out with a new book in the fall, entitled Last Second In Dallas (I saw his presentation in Dallas a couple of years ago with new analyses that is eye-opening).
Just want to conclude before I jet off that the CIA put out a memo in 1967 to quell critics of the Warren Commission, calling them Conspiracy Theorists, and urged their "assets" in the news media and elsewhere, to discredit the critics, labeling them conspiracy theorists and other reasons why they are wrong.
If I may quote Richard Syrett (who hails from our city and broadcasts on Zoomer Radio with the Conspiracy Show, as well as a blog, and sometimes hosts Coast to Coast for George Noory in L.A.), he aptly says:
CONSPIRACY IS NOT A THEORY. IT'S A CRIME!
(It is interesting to note that a Cdn legal case, United States vs Dynar 1997, ruled that a conspiracy need not be proven by the identity or conviction of all or any of the conspirators, just that a plan to commit a crime was hatched).
P.S. The JFK (and RFK) Assassinations are still relevent today because they are cold cases, and the truth has not come out. Their murders affected American policy, and perhaps the way things ran for decades thereafter. History cannot persist as a lie.
