in 1966, Jack Ruby's conviction and death sentence for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald were overturned on appeal and was granted a new trial. On December 9th, 1966, Ruby was sent to parkland hospital for pneumonia. A day later, the doctors found out that he had liver cancer, lung cancer, and brain cancer. Ruby died a few weeks later. What if Jack Ruby had not gotten sick and died? Would he have been convicted again? Or would he have been found not guilty by reason of insanity? or would he have been instead convicted of the lesser charge of Murder Without Malice( Which is roughly equivalent to manslaughter)?
