杰克路比 (Jack Ruby) 射杀甘乃迪刺杀案的嫌犯:李哈维奥斯华德 (Lee Harvey Oswald) :19631124

杰克.路比在1964314日被判处死刑。他后来申请上诉,并赢得重新审判的机会,因为法官在第一次审判时发生程序上的错误。

196596日,杰克.路比在上诉审讯时递了一张纸条给他的律师艾默.葛兹 (Elmer Gertz) ,纸条上写道:

「艾默,你必须相信我,我并没有疯狂的念头。一切都没有希望了,人证物证都已经齐全了,我再也没有任何希望了。这些审讯只是浪费时间而已。」

从这张纸条就可以看出路比的心智已经逐渐崩溃了。西元
1967年,杰克.路比在狱中因为癌症去世,而新的审判还没开始。


Jack Ruby was found guilty of murder on March 14, 1964, and sentenced to death. He appealed and won a retrial on the basis that procedural errors had occurred during the trial.

At an appeal hearing on September 9, 1965, in Dallas, Jack Ruby passed this note to his attorney, Elmer Gertz:

"Elmer, you must believe me, that I am not imagining crazy thoughts, etc. This is all so hopeless, that they have everything in the bag and there isn't any chance of hope for me. These hearings are just stalling for time."

The note shows Ruby's declining mental state. In 1967, Jack Ruby died of cancer in prison before a new trial could be held.
