If a bullet didn't go through JFK, then exactly how did Connally get hit?

John,

You have heard of the word fabrication?  They fired the bullet from the wrong side before the suit jacket was hung out for display!  You want to go for a real good explanation - bury yourself for an hour in this documentary!  They will let you in on how it can be done!  Look from about 23:00.

Well I have heard that every piece of physical evidence in this case was fabricated, does that count?

They fired the bullet from the wrong side before the suit jacket was hung out for display!

Silly conspirators.

Seen it, what else you got?

John, 

That is the million dollar question and how this bullet became magic.  If you look at the argument laid out in the article below, this bullet appeared to be PRISTINE!

"Pristine" Bullet. Commission Exhibit 399, the bullet found on the stretcher, is virtually undamaged and had no blood or tissue on it. Its appearance is consistent with having been fired through the rifle into water or cotton, recovered, and then planted. Also, there is a serious question as to whether the minimal amount of lead missing from the base of CE-399 can account for the fragments left behind in JFK and Connally.

pristine
ˈprɪstiːn,ˈprɪstʌɪn/Submit
adjective
in its original condition; unspoilt.
"pristine copies of an early magazine"
clean and fresh as if new; spotless.



CE399 was affected only one way and that way is also corroborated by the injuries, also the amount of lead in Kennedy's chest and Connally was miniscule and CE399 was missing only a bit of lead.

As laid out by the WC report, there were only 2 bullets that struck anyone in the car.  The neck shot and the JFK head shot.  The neck shot is very visible on the President (Zapruder Film evidence) and is the only one the WC concedes hits Connally.  That is CE399.   

The WC ignores Clinton Hill testimony and goes with its own findings of a shot from behind and above.    Clearly when you see JFK move back in his seat and raise his arm, there is a frontal volley coming.  Just considering Clinton Hill's words, there is a major flaw in their evidence or he wasn't close enough to report what he saw.  His report on piece of bone found on street, why Mrs. Kennedy decided to get out of car and all, seems to indicate the path of projectiles was traveling from front to back or at the very least from 2 different sources!

"Mr. SPECTER. You say that it appeared that she was reaching as if something was coming over to the rear portion of the car, back in the area where you were coming to?
Mr. HILL. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Was there anything back there that you observed, that she might have been reaching for?
Mr. HILL. I thought I saw something come off the back, too, but I cannot say that there was. I do know that the next day we found the portion of the President's head.
Mr. SPECTER. Where did you find that portion of the President's head?
Mr. HILL. It was found in the street. It was turned in, I believe, by a medical student or somebody in Dallas."
....
"Mr. SPECTER. What did you observe as to President Kennedy's condition on arrival at the hospital?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head."

You don't have any answers either, just another pointless and speculative thread on highly speculative and contencious "evidence" that can never be proved one way or another.

All the WC really cared about was that all shots were fired from the SE corner of the 6th floor by LHO. The WC wasn't worried about the firing sequence and what bullet hit what and when.

Go and prove CE 399 went through anyone in the Presidential limousine.

This isn't difficult Tony, how could Connally be shot from behind without CE399 first passing through Kennedy?

Your OP is misleading and loaded - before you start talking about JC and his wounds, you need to prove that CE 399 hit anyone in the Presidential limousine. How are you going to do that considering it was not known which gurney the bullet was found on. Was there any human DNA present on CE 399 that could be specifically associated with anyone?

Time-traveler Tony. There were no DNA tests in 1963.

The bullet is NOT pristine. It is damaged although this is only very noticeable when the base (short axis) is viewed rather than the side (long axis).
