I think Howie Carr had Specter on a couple of years ago, and Howie asked him about the “magic” bullet. Specter couldn’t explain it.

Specter should have just said that it was magic, nothing but pure magic.

There was no “magic” required. The idea peddled by the conspiracy book sellers that a “magic” bullet had to exit Kennedy, change direction in midair, move upward, and then down into Connolly was based on the false premise that Kennedy and Connolly were seated at the same height.

Oliver Stone perpetuated this misconception in his movie “JFK” in the scene where he had Costner arrange two chairs on the floor, one behind the other, to demonstrate the supposed “magic” bullet theory. The chairs are at the same height, which was not true of the two seats in the limo.

In reality, Kennedy was on the back bench-style seat of the limo, while Connolly was seated in a fold-out seat in front of him. The fold-out seat Connolly was sitting in was NOT level with Kennedy’s back seat but was much LOWER, that was simply the way those limos were made.

There is no “magic” to explain, it’s based on a falsehood.
