Mary Woodward said there were 3 shots and the 1st shot missed everything

Some good points. But you'd need testimony from Rather to establish if that is the case. If you could find that, it would be helpful.

  At least 1 of the actual Dan Rather CBS broadcasts done that weekend is posted on You Tube. This is no secret.

Ok that's great. If we can get the youtube link in here to bolster CIA employee Dino Brugioni's testimony that the film has been tampered with then this supports that fact.
So where do we stand at the moment?
We have arguments in the thread concerning where heads were facing on a film which CIA operative Dino Brugioni who worked on it on November 24th 1963 says is not admissible because it has been tampered with.
Now, Dino Brugioni testified that the fatal head shot has a lot of frames missing and that the spread of brain matter was much more on the original and he says the original was a much clearer copy. If there are frames missing and the spread of brain matter has been altered I think its safe to say not only are there frames missing, its safe to say the film has undergone editing of the frames.
If this is the case, not one single frame of the film is admissible no matter where you go in the sequence from the first until last frame.

Your spin on her observations are not evidence. You're entitled to believe she got it wrong, but then you can't turn around and tell us what she said she saw is evidence. That's called impeaching your own witness.
This is so laughable. You are telling us her observation that the first shot didn't hit anybody is evidence JFK was hit by the first shot. That's comical.
Your take on her observations are evidence you are really, really bad at analyzing evidence.

If one is unable to grasp the obvious fact that her observation that JFK had passed by where she was standing BEFORE the first shot is evidence that the first shot did not miss, one shouldn’t be accusing others of being bad at analyzing evidence.

    The woman did Not even know where SHE Was inside Dealey Plaza.  This glaring deficiency in her 11/22/63 account taints everything she says.

She was writing a story about the assassination. How does it matter whether they ate their lunch on the grassy slope or on the sidewalk? We know where they were standing. How could she not know where she was standing?

Keep convincing yourself of nonsense. That way you will never be able to figure out something that is really, really obvious.

   Well, this "grassy slope" is getting crowed. This is the Same "grassy slope" that Umbrella Man/Witt claimed he was walking down while fighting to open his umbrella.
   If Woodward did Not Know where she was standing, how can we believe she Knows what she is claiming to have seen? Just put yourself in the jury box. Of course, I'll be the Foreman.

A big "if".  Not only did Woodward know where she was standing, she described it in detail in her FBI statement: "They walked to Elm Street and stopped in front of the Texas School Book Depository building, but were located a short distance down the street near the second light post. There were standing in this spot when the Presidential Motorcade came by." 

She then went on to tell the FBI that they cheered loudly as the President and Mrs. Kennedy  went by. "Just as President and Mrs. Kennedy went by, they turned and waved at them. Just a second or two later (ie. after JFK and Jackie turned and waved at them) she heard a loud noise."

JFK began that turn and wave at z172. A second after that is z190.  Two seconds is z208.
