The main reason for believing that CE399 passed through JFK's neck is that I don't see a reason to believe that CE399 was, or could have been, planted. The evidence is that it came from Oswald's gun, it was found on JBC's gurney at Parkland, that JBC was in front of JFK, that the bullet did not strike any bone in passing through JFK. That is more than enough evidence to conclude that the bullet passaed through JFK's neck exiting his midline on a right to left trajectory and struck JBC. I accept, on all the other evidence that Oswald fired all three shots as found by the WC. Unlike others who accept the WC conclusion, I disagree with the SBT.
The main reason for believing that CE399 passed through JFK's neck is that I don't see a reason to believe that CE399 was, or could have been, planted. Who said anything about it being planted? You may not have noticed it, but there's something very strange (IMO at least) going on regarding the rifle and the bullets. As I said earlier, the chain of custody for CE399 started in the FBI lab in Washington after the bullet now in evidence was handed over to the FBI by the Chief of the Secret Service.
The FBI was told this was the bullet that had been found in Parkland! Btw, when CE399 was introduced into evidence, during the testimony of Dr. Humes, Arlen Specter did so subject to later authentication of the bullet. Such authentication never came!
A little later that same night, Frazier and his men were supposed to examine the Presidential limo, which had been brought to the Secret Service garage in Washington. When the FBI got there, Frazier found out that two men, who were not forensic experts, had already searched the car (thus contaminating the crime scene) and they had allegedly found several bullet fragments which they handed to Frazier. They had taken no photographs of the fragments in situ and they simply
told Frazier that these were the fragments they had found.
So now we go fast forward in time, to the HSCA hearings, which showed a bullet (or rather a photograph of a bullet) they said was fired from the same MC rifle and was recovered from the wall in General Walker's home. As soon as Walker saw that picture he instantly tried to contact the HSCA to tell them they had the wrong bullet, because the one in the photograph was not the one he had seen in April 1963. Now add to this that in all the reports about the Walker shooting, written prior to the assassination, a different type of bullet was mentioned than the one now in evidence.
Three different events with the same problem; bullets and fragments of bullets that were all fired by the same rifle but can not be authenticated as being the actual items that were recovered from the three locations involved. That doesn't strike you as odd?
Now let me give you an alternative scenario in which Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy involving men in high positions of the US Government. Men who were in a position to control the investigation and the evidence. Now let's assume for a second that the MC rifle and three shells were purposely left on the 6th floor because they could be tentatively traced back to Oswald. However, the bullet fragments found in Kennedy's body and the limo did not match that rifle as it simply wasn't used to shoot Kennedy and it didn't need to, because within less than 24 hours after the shooting the rifle and all the bullets and fragments were in Washington. All that needed to be done was to switch the actual bullets and fragments by those that had indeed been fired by the MC rifle prior to the assassination. In this scenario there wouldn't be a need to plant a bullet at Parkland. The fact that a bullet (not related to the crime) was found by Tomlinson was in fact an added bonus. Switch the bullet that was found with the one we now know as CE399 and nobody would be the wiser.
Is this a far fetched scenario? Maybe, but it is a possibility that needs to be eliminated by the investigators and it never was. It was never even considered despite the fact that it does one thing that the official narrative doesn't do; it answers a great deal of questions for which the FBI and WC could never provide an answer.
The evidence is that it came from Oswald's gun, it was found on JBC's gurney at Parkland, that JBC was in front of JFK, that the bullet did not strike any bone in passing through JFK.No, that's not what the evidence is. I won't go into the rifle allegedly belonging to Oswald, because that's another conversation entirely, but what the evidence doesn't say is that CE399 came from JBC's gurney at Parkland. That is in fact nothing more than an flawed assumption based on no factual evidence whatsoever. You have to ignore a whole set of circumstantial evidence to the contrary to reach that conclusion.
I accept, on all the other evidence that Oswald fired all three shots as found by the WC.What is this "other evidence" that makes you accept this? There isn't even a shred of evidence placing Oswald on the 6th floor of the TSBD at the moment the shots were fired. The WC never provided any evidence for that. They just said he was and never provided any evidence for it.
