John F. Kennedy's assassinator Lee Harvey Oswald's widow has claimed that her husband was innocent and didn't shoot the president.

Marina Oswald, who had earlier told the Warren Commission that her husband was indeed guilty, has changed her mind after reading some of the 40,000 books and conspiracy theories and is convinced there is a much more complex assassination conspiracy and cover up, the Mirror reported.

The 72-year-old now insists that her husband was set up as "a patsy" to take the fall for plotters in the CIA and the Mafia.

Keya Morgan, who is Oswald's close friend and documentary film maker, said that the widow doesn't believe the official story and she has always said that her husband loved President Kennedy.

Morgan also revealed that Oswald has been inundated with bids to sell her story, including a 3 million dollar offer from a US TV network, but has refused to cash in on the shooting anniversary.
