In addition to Oswald’s personally, Jack Ruby’s desire for public admiration also diminished the possibility of the involvement of any conspiracies in the assassination. One could see Ruby’s desire for public attention from the fact that he shot Oswald point blank in the public after Oswald experienced 48 hours of interrogation.
