I'm not sure yet what I think actually did happen, but I have NEVER believed the Warren Commission report.

Paging Senator Specter, Senator Spector to the courtesy phone please....

The "magic bullet" theory is very plausible, and the only one that has not been completely debunked.

This is hardly news. Connelly himself, who was a foot soldier as a young man and frequently under enemy fire, insisted to his dying day that there were two gunmen, and that the Warren Commission's conclusions were impossible.

Nellie Connolly is just wrong on this.

SHE AGREES there were only three shots.

One - missed and hit the pavement, (and fragments grazed a bystander on the cheek).

Two - hit the President in the head.

Three - ergo, this shot hit both Connelly and Kennedy.

To say she "saw" three bullets is nonsensical. She heard, not saw three shots, therefore she can't know that one bullet hit both, or disprove it.

Here is a picture of the bullet that hit both. It's not pristine by any means, as conspiracists claim. Here

What do you expect from a Commission that had Gerald Ford on it as a member and Arlen Specter on it as an Assistant Counsel?

[Quix]

Nice for a participant involved to speak for some truth

FINALLY.

[wideminded]

Connally always claimed that he couldn't have been hit by the same bullet that hit Kennedy, because he turned around to see what was happening after Kennedy was hit. This is what his wife claims now. But as author Gerald Posner has pointed out, the Zapruder film shows the bullet moving Connally's suit lapel.

A year after the assassination the Commission concluded that Kennedy and Gov. Connally were both wounded by the first shot fired by Oswald from the Texas School Book Depository. A second shot missed completely.

I thought it was the other way around - that Oswald's first shot missed completely, and the second one hit Kennedy in the back and went out the front of his neck.

"John [Connally] sitting right in front of him

WHOA Nellie ... GO BACK and look at those pictures - he WASN'T sitting 'right in front of him', Connally was inboard (to the left) of JFK (THIS can be seen on numerous photographs).

Source: The Single Bullet Theory

Note: Kennedy has his ARM on the door whereas Connally does not.

[not-an-ostrich]

This isn't new. She's always disputed the "same bullet hit both" theory. Journalist try to conjure up a new twist. Not very ethical.

Oh No Nellie, it doesn't matter if you were there, it doesn't make any difference if your very own husband who was supposed to shot from the same bullet as JFK knew better. No, you can't be right! Anyone saying the Warren commission wasn't true and just cover up hogwash is a tin foil hatter! </extreme sarcasm

[scotsman1]

Sorry,Mrs Connelly but recent clearing up of the Zapruder film shows a simultaneous bump in your hubby's jacket as Kennedy is shot in the throat.............hit wih the same bullet.........Why is she ' an expert' anyway.Being in the actual car means nothing,she was facing forward at the time of the shooting beginning.And Connelly himself was wrong to believe two shooters.............. the ' holding onto the hat ' is a red herring.....sometimes the body holds onto things in pain by sheer unconscious luck........
