I just skimmed an online transcript of the movie and couldn't find a line like that; all I saw was Erik said he last saw Raven in Dallas.
Sorry, I was misremembering the source. It's from a website linked to one of the videos they did the whole viral advertising campaign, in which the situation was explored more in-depth.
Lehnsherr made his own closing argument. He insisted he was not guilty, and noted that no physical evidence linked him to the assassination.

“I did not shoot your president,” he told the jury. “But I know who did, and you’ll never find her. She has a way of hiding in plain sight.”
Hooray for bad memories. :) Again, sorry about that.
 
Erik claimed that JFK "was one of us." That doesn't necessarily mean it was correct, though.

Charles' response "You must think me so foolish" might have really meant "Do you think I'm stupid, or what?"

My assumption was that Vaughn wanted for Erik to have killed JFK, and that Singer walked that back, but apparently that's not the case. And, according to this Cracked article, JFK actually was a mutant, sort of.
Whoops, looks like I was right after all. It seems that, before Singer took over, Vaughn said:

“I’ve got some ideas for the opening for the next film. I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentioned.”​

Given what Vaughn did to our current president in Kingsman, I guess he's got a thing for bumping off our Yankee leaders. Bravo to Singer, or Kinberg or whoever it was, who indeed walked that back. I don't think that would have been a "fun" opening at all. :thumbdown:
