Because by the time the second bullet had passed almost through two people it had lost it's velocity and hadn't hit bone. The type of velocity that would have destroyed it. The nose on the bullet was damaged and I believe it happened by striking the rib. It left Connelly's chest by keyholing. It was flying sideways.

When it finally hit the wrist, it was sideways and that action squeezed the lead from the base.

The bullets of that era, had lead exposed bases.

I hope this helps you to understand.

The round that killed the president seems to explode on entry. Why didn't the round that hit his back/throat also explode on entry? Whether or not it also hit Connolly is immaterial to this question.

I don't know if there was one shooter or two. I try to make up my own mind rather than be swayed by various conspiracy hucksters whose agendas are mostly to make a buck off the assassination. What I do know from hard evidence that the bullet that hit the president's head and the one that hit his back/throat seemed to behave differently. Perhaps there's a logical ballistics reason, but I'm not qualified in that area to make my own reasoned judgement.
