Who shot the deputy (if it was neither Bob Marley nor Eric Clapton)?
Most of you probably know the song “I Shot the Sheriff”, which was written and performed by Bob Marley and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a cover version by Eric Clapton. When my radio alarm clock woke me up this morning playing that song, I instantly asked myself a question which I have been asking myself so many times before: “If it was neither Bob Marley nor Eric Clapton, who shot the sheriff, then whodunit?” A quick search on the internet revealed that there are numerous speculations about the deputy being killed by Dick Cheney in a hunting accident. But why was Bob Marley a suspect then? Another possible suspect would be Lee Harvey Oswald, given the killing of the deputy occurred before 1963. This wouldn’t rule out Marley and Clapton as suspects because both were born in 1945. Depending on the location of the murder, it might also have been the deed of the infamous Zodiac Killer, who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s.
I sincerely hope that with the advent of DNA profiling the true killer will surface one day and be brought to justice!
