The JFK case was a difficult one to investigate in that era. I saw a very plausible documentary which posited that while Oswald did indeed pull off the first two successful shots, a young Secret Service agent riding behind JFK's limo, inadvertently fired the fatal shot, when he fell, and the rifle he was carrying went off, its safety having been disengaged.

The cover up was done in part to protect the agent from the unimaginable psychological effects of having killed a president, however accidentally, and to spare the world that horrible truth. The filmmakers give a ver cogent, sober presentation, complete with ballistic reenactment and supporting information. My heart actually went out to the poor agent, who probably spent the rest of his life with that on his head, if the story is accurate.

It does suggest a very compelling reason for sealing certain records pertaining to the incident, for decades to come.
