Nov. 6, (THAINDIAN NEWS) A digital forensic scientist and computer science professor from Dartmouth College, Professor Heny Farid said that he has unearthed new evidence that the photos of Lee Harvey Oswald are not doctored. The photo shows Oswald standing, holding a rifle in one hand and a Marxist newspaper in the other. He said that the photo is too real to be termed fake. This discovery puts an end to all theories that claims that Oswald was part of a bigger plot to assassinate the president.

Lee Oswald Harvey is the man who was convicted of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He was shot to death a few days after he was arrested. Police obtained the photo while he was in their custody. However, Oswald refused to admit that it was really him, and kept insisting that the photo had been doctored. Even many years after his death, it has never really been definitely ascertained whether the photo is a fake or not. Over the years, constant attempts have been made to determine the authenticity of the picture, but to no avail. Several scientists have pointed out inconsistent lightings and shadows that added to the fake theory.

In his ground-breaking claim, Professor Farid said that he couldn’t really ascertain about the authenticity of the photo, but felt pretty certain that it is not a fake. He had used the appropriate software to create a three dimensional image of Oswald’s head. He created a light source that explained all the shadows in the photo that had seemed incongruous. He felt it is improbable that someone could have tampered with a photo so long back this perfectly.
