Round 8: Tossup 15

While representing this man’s mother, attorney Mark Lane began investigations informing his book Rush to Judgement. An object this man bought under the alias “A. Hidell” appears in photographs sent to his friend George de Mohrenschildt. This man’s responsibility for the killing of J. D. Tippit was concluded by the Warren Commission. This man claimed “I’m (10[1])just a patsy!” as he (10[1])was arrested, (10[1])two days before a perp walk where he was killed by Jack Ruby. Conspiracy theorists debate whether this man was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository for a 1963 (10[1])killing in Dallas. For 10 points, name this man who assassinated John F. Kennedy. ■END■
