The Magic Bullet

[John Iacoletti]

Hypocrite. What falls flat is you completely ignoring what Jean Hill said about not seeing a shooter in 1964 (just heard a shot) then years later her saying she saw the shooter firing while standing near a tree.

What gave you the silly idea that I ignored anything?

[Jerry Freeman]

Alice, Nellie Connally said that they were shot at 2 different times. Nellie Connally was wrong. The Zapruder film leaves no doubt the Kennedy and Connally were hit at virtually the same time.

Then why did the governor himself say that he was hit by a different shot?
Sure everybody jumped at sound of rifle shots.

This brief interview alone discredits the Warren Commisson's "findings". Clearly the Connally's say that JFK hit first in the throat, a separate bullet hits Connally, and then the final blow to the President's head.

Saw it 50 years ago. Cronkite's dead as Kennedy.
He had no doubts [so he said] but I have mine.
In another post someone said that was fine...then called me a buff [whatever that is]
In those frames 225-226, Jackie's jumping too...did she get hit also?

Jackie is not seen to be reacting in those frames. JFK and Connally unmistakably are.

Bullet entry in JFK's back that Humes probed with his little finger (indicating a point on the little finger which did not go past the first knuckle, less than one inch).

You are assuming that JFK's hand positions are not part of his reaction. That's not exactly beyond doubt. 

Even if they did both react at the same time, why does that mean that JBC is reacting to being hit? He and Nellie said he reacted to the first shot by turning to look at JFK and shouting "Oh, no, no, no".

There is, after all, a not insignificant body of evidence that the shot pattern was 1.......2...3 with the last two quite close together, which means that there had been only one shot to that point.

Cronkite sums it up rather well beginning at 54:30 or so when he says: "In our own view, on the evidence, it is difficult to believe the Single Bullet Theory..."   His rejection of Gov. Connally and Nellie Connally's "theory" that there were three shots all of which hit occupants of the car on the grounds that it is "even more difficult to believe" is based solely on the ground that a high speed bullet that struck JFK on the first shot (which he acknowledges has much evidence for support) magically disappeared without striking the car.  So if that first bullet did not magically disappear but was CE399 that came out of his leg, that problem with 3 shots 3 hits disappears. That possibility was never considered.
