The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald (1964 film)


The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald is a 1964 American film from Larry Buchanan. It is the first speculative trial drama to be produced about Lee Harvey Oswald only a few months after the assassination of John F. Kennedy along with the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald himself. The film was made in Dallas, and served as an idea of what the trial would have been like had it occurred, if Oswald hadnt been killed by Jack Ruby. In the film, the prosecution asserts Oswald committed the crime due to his Marxist beliefs, while Oswalds attorney presents an insanity defense, claiming he suffered from untreated paranoid schizophrenia since adolescence. Since the viewer acts as a juror, no verdict is given.
