The Magic Bullet

[Andrew Mason]

The sheer fact that you think one shooter could cause all the wounds seen illustrates that you either don't know the evidence or are misrepresenting what it actually shows.

According to the WC. Only two bullets hit JFK.

Of course one person could have fired three bullets. The question is was it Oswald.

Ok. So the you now think one shooter could have made these wounds. I am puzzled. Does this mean "that you either don't know the evidence or are misrepresenting what it actually shows"?

What the Report claims CE 399 did....



What the JFK autopsy notes indicated....



So according to the autopsy sketch, CE 399 would have done this...

Another Felucca who misinterprets what is posted. Note what I posted "

I am puzzled.

Seems to be your default position.

No, I probably know more about it than you, Andrew. I am also able to understand what is written, unlike yourself.

No, the sewer guy took the head shot. 

Good call, and I would speculate that shooter in the sewer had periscope eyes like them aliens in Men in Black . And was sitting on a whoopee cushion.

 Probably roomier than snipers nest

The best image I can find that shows JFK is struck and Governor Connally has not yet been hit [just as JBC stated in his hospital interview]

[Gary Craig]

How can anyone believe JFK and JBC were hit by a single bullet fired from 60 feet in the air?

As Cyril Wecht pointed out during the HSCA, JFK would need to be tying his shoes for the trajectory to work.

The question is not whether a shot through JFK could have hit Gov. Connally. Rather it is whether it hit Gov. Connally in the right armpit.

There is no problem with the vertical alignment of JBC's wounds and JFK's throat wound.  The car was 60 feet below the SN but about 165 feet distant at the time of the shot that struck JFK's neck. That makes a vertcal angle of 20 degrees below the horizontal. The car was on a downward 3 degree angle.  So the angle through JFK's body was a downward 17 degrees,  JFK's seat was higher than JBC's jump seat and his neck exit wound was about 24" from the back of that jump seat.  Over that 24" distance a bullet travelling on a 17 degree downward path would have dropped another 7.5 inches which means it would have cleared the back of the jump seat.

It is the horizontal - right to left - trajectory that is a problem.  The trajectory is consistent with a shot through JFK to the left side of JBC but not with a strike to the far right side. The right to left angle was at least 12 degrees.  Over that 24" distance the bullet through JFK would have travelled 5" farther left. So for JBC's right armpit, located 7.87 inches right of JBC's spine, to be in the path of that bullet, he would have to havd been 13" left of JFK. That is the problem with the trajectory.
