Death to Justice: The Shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald

Episode 16 - Jack Ruby Post-Trial to Death

Paul Abbott

We're getting close to consolidating all that we've covered regarding Lee Oswald's shooting. But it's important to reconcile Jack Ruby's life after the Oswald shooting until his own, sudden, death in early 1967.

Ruby's conduct and state of mind through the Texas legal system was chaotic and difficult to make sense of. It didn't help that the lie detector test that he was granted was poorly administered either. 

Speaking of lie detector tests, Jack Ruby's most ardent accuser within the Dallas Police Department, Sgt. Patrick Dean would be granted his own lie detector test as well, only he was allowed to write his own questions. Yet he still failed it. However, when the HSCA picked up on this lead during its investigations, no record or evidence of Dean's test could be found.
