Did Knott Laboratory Disprove the Single-Bullet Theory?

[Benjamin Cole]

TG-

When leaving Gov. JBC's chest, the bullet made a small exit hole in JBC's jacket. 3/8th by 1/2""



It then made an even smaller hole in JBC's leg. When was this bullet tumbling? 3/8th by 1/4"



So the bullet was not tumbling when it struck JBC, as proven by the small entry hole in his assassination day shirt, and it was not tumbling when it entered JBC's leg, as proven by the assassination-day pant-leg.

You posit that the slug tumbled in between, when it struck JBC's wrist.

Well, anything is possible.

You have a new magic bullet theory!

A bullet that is not tumbling when it struck JBC, then tumbles when it hits his wrist, and then returns to a perfect spiral again to pierce his leg.

A pulp detective novel would not entertain such a bullet. Not even a comic book.



BTW, the Western Cartridge 6.5 slug was slightly larger than 1/4" round.

The wounds to JBC are an oddity.
