Remember, though, in both science and law, there is no fact. In science, things are never "proven"; in law, they're considered proven "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is not intended to be beyond all doubt. (For the record, I think Oswald would definitely have been convicted if he lived, and I think that would have been the right thing.)
