傑克路比 (Jack Ruby) 射殺甘迺迪刺殺案的嫌犯:李哈維奧斯華德 (Lee Harvey Oswald) :19631124

傑克‧路比在1964314日被判處死刑。他後來申請上訴,並贏得重新審判的機會,因為法官在第一次審判時發生程序上的錯誤。

196596日,傑克‧路比在上訴審訊時遞了一張紙條給他的律師艾默‧葛茲 (Elmer Gertz) ,紙條上寫道:

「艾默,你必須相信我,我並沒有瘋狂的念頭。一切都沒有希望了,人證物證都已經齊全了,我再也沒有任何希望了。這些審訊只是浪費時間而已。」

從這張紙條就可以看出路比的心智已經逐漸崩潰了。西元
1967年,傑克‧路比在獄中因為癌症去世,而新的審判還沒開始。


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.
