Jack Ruby was convicted on March 14, 1964, of the November 24, 1963 murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy and Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit (November 22, 1963). These files are the transcripts from his court hearings for the murder trial in the Criminal District Court No. 3, Dallas County and subsequent court documents. The case was appealed to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, as Jack Rubenstein (a.k.a. Jack Ruby) v. State of Texas (# 37900), October 5, 1966. Ruby's conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on the grounds that "an oral confession of premeditation made while in police custody" should have been ruled inadmissible, because it violated a Texas criminal statute. The court also ruled that the venue should have been changed to a Texas county other than the one in which the high-profile crime had been committed. The Court ordered “that the venue be changed to some county other than Dallas.” Ruby died of cancer on January 3, 1967, before his retrial (scheduled for Wichita Falls, TX) could begin.
