One little datum that may prove interesting, is that the bullet fragments were never recovered from the body of John Connally, the governor of Texas riding with JFK that day. His widow refused to give permission for an autopsy after Governor Connally’s death, years later, to confirm or dismiss whether it may have been fired from the same weapon.

From the descriptions of the entry and exit wounds, only a ricochet or fragmentation of a “single bullet” could have accounted for the pattern of the wounds. Yet Arlen Specter clung furiously to that theory.

I don’t think there’s anything strange about the so called magic bullet theory. There’s nothing magic about it. Connally was shot from behind. So either the bullet went through Kennedy then Connally, or JFK shot Connally.

I believe there was one shooter and that it was Oswald. He may have worked alone or for somebody.

The ‘single bullet path’ theory is eminently reasonable.

What is NOT reasonable is the only slightly deformed bullet (CE399). How it came to be found isn’t plausible - it seems more likely to have been a planted item to ensure the connection with Oswald’s rifle.

And just who the heck walked off with Connolly’s gold cufflink? Speaks to the lack of control in the moment where evidence could be removed/added by unknown operators.
