Oswald was the lone shooter. He was a competent marksman, owned a perfectly capable surplus rifle, and the shot was relatively simple for his skill. There is only evidence of three shots, all of them fired by Oswald.
That's all there is to it, really. Forty five more years of conspiracy theories and misinterpreted dissected data will never prove otherwise.

I know you didn't read this but you could at least look at the pictures :-)
BUT seriously, this scenario has never seriously been considered before.
When I showed Dr. Wecht the Connally head snap downward, he asked his son Ben if he knew about a shot fired after the fatal head shot to JFK.
I know they had been exposed to the Dallas Police recording paper "Echo Correlation" by Dr. D. B. Thomas as he spoke at Dr. Wecht's symposium in 2003.
I'm not sure that if there were multiple shooters then the government is necessarily involved in a cover up. Most of the defenders of orthodoxy could simply be very wrong. The conspiracy could, in theory, be quite small with the number of dupes being quite large. After a hearing, being a dupe takes on a life of its own. Specter has a vested interesting in continuing to be "right"....he will look like a fool and lose his Senate seat if he makes a correction. That doesn't mean that he is involved in a conspiracy to protect the killers. He is merely acting out of self-preservation, a conspiracy of one, as it were.
Does that make sense?
Impressive post, all the same. Would like to hear more about the intrigue side of the whole thing.
NIXON: When you get these people in, say: "Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the President just feels that" ah, without going into the details... don't, don't lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it, "the President believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again." ---
