"three witnesses say the last two shots were BANG-BANG two shots fired very close together (there are more who heard the two shots close together)."

It's important to keep in mind what a witness can tell you, and what they can't. A witness can only relate their recall of their perceptions. They can't necesarily tell you what really happened, and they certainly can't tell you something beyond what they can perceive with their senses.

Because of the nature of perception and memory, witness testimony is the weakest form of evidence there is. But even when a witness has perfect recall, they can still only tell what they perceive.

A witness may perceive two sounds close together. They can't know the sounds are due to individual gunshots. There are other possible explanations. One of which is that the sense of time can be distorted in a sudden shock. Anyone that's been in an accident can tell you that.

"John Connally says the force of the bullet bent him over (seen AFTER Kennedy’s head shot)"

It is your interpretation that a bullet hit him after the head shot. It is much clearer that he was hit at 223 when the bullet bulges out his jacket and after striking his wrist causes the hat in his hand to fly up in front of his face.

"Nellie says John Connally turned to look over his shoulder and then was hit."

Which he does before 223.

"What started me on this review several years ago was the fact that several Parkland Doctors talk about the large wound in the back of JFK’s head. It is simply not credible to believe these Doctors and Nurses lied or were simply mistaken. It happened like the witnesses said it did, not what a corrupt government came up with."

Witnesses do not trump xrays and photos and pathologists. However, there are explanations that bring all this into synch. The autopsy documents that the back of the skull was fragmented and there were sections of bone held on just by flaps of scalp. One in the rear was likely loose in the emergency room, then placed into position for the autopsy examination.

You sound like Bugliosi.

I am aware of all these "excuses", fairy tales and other "explanations".

If you watched the video you saw that Connally's head snaps downward faster than anyone could move it (2 frames, approx 1/10 of a second) and you continue to repeat Bugloisian explanations. That is the point the bullet hit him in the back. Dale Meyers is famous for the lapel bulge at Z224 but that is NOT the point the bullet hit him in the back. Connally simply raises his shoulders as he snaps around to look to his left then he snaps around to look to his right which is where he thought the shot was fired from.

For FIVE SECONDS Connally turns, no sane person could believe that he has a major back/chest wound and he'd turn like this. He isn't shot in the back until 5 seconds later. That's why this is a mystery, too many witnesses disagree witht the "official" findings which are nothing but bundled lies.
