So which was it:  concrete, dust, or smoke?  And if he saw 2 things hit the pavement were they both a "missed first shot"?  And how do you know they didn't hit something before hitting the pavement and in fact were not missed shots at all?

Or you can just interpret this to tell whatever story you feel like believing.

Question: How could JFK and JC get shot in their backs from someone shooting from the knoll or underpass?

Why automatically assume there was exactly one shooter?

Later in the same testimony Skelton makes it clear when he saw the smoke and it wasn't after the first shot:

Mr. BALL. Wait a minute let me ask you some questions about that. Tell me, now, about the smoke did you see some smoke?
Mr. SKELTON. After those two shots, and the car came on down closer to the triple underpass, well, there was another shot--two more shots I heard, but one of them--I saw a bullet, or I guess it was a bullet--I take for granted it was--- hit in the left front of the President's car on the cement, and when it did, the smoke carried with it--away from the building.

There was no early missed shot.

 Thumb1: Thanks Dan.  Not only that, but he's just guessing that it was a bullet.

No assumption needed: There's no evidence of a second weapon being fired.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Haven't you learned anything yet?

Entry wound in JKF's throat proves more than one shooter. JFK getting hit with a frangible round in the head proves there was more than one shooter. If the bullet that hit JFK in the throat came through the windshield, that proves more than one shooter.
Summing it up, both JFK and JC were hit by bullet(s) coming from the rear of them. JFK's throat wound came from the front and the frangible round that hit JFK in the head came from the rear.

BS.. the evidence of absence is Dorothy Garner not seeing anybody on or near the stairs between Adams & Styles going down and Truly & Baker coming up. Rankin didn't bury the Stroud letter for nothing!

You really don't know much about this case, don't you?
