Your point is?

I ahve a bullet in my hand right now. I can bounce it off of my arm and the desk and it does not show any major damage. It all depends on the bullet's velocity at the time it is moving. Also, where do you get this "90 degree turn" stuff? Connaly was turned around when the bullet hit him and it's trajectory shows a straight line back through him, through Kennedy's wounds, and on to the 6th floor of the book depository.

Wow red herring action, how quaint. Obviously we're talking at FIRED velocity. According to Warren that bullet hit 4 different body parts and changed angles at least twice. Not buying that for a second.

Consider: A bullet is fired at a downward angle; it hits Kennedy's body; without striking a bone it reverses course upward and exits the throat. Then it changes trajectory in mid-air, while hanging suspended for a second, then goes downward to enter Connally's back, smashes a rib, exits, deflects right 90 degrees, smashes a wrist, deflects left 120 degrees, and lodges in his thigh (DiEugenio 102).

Here is what Governor Connally said on the subject:

They talk about the "one-bullet" or "two-bullet theory, but as far as I'm concerned, there is no theory. There is my absolute knowledge, and Nellie's too, that one bullet caused the President's first wound, and an entirely separate shot struck me. No one will ever convince me otherwise. It's a certainty. I'll never change my mind (DiEugenio 101).
