Secret Service Agent Glen Bennett, who was sitting on the passenger-side rear seat of the follow-up car and who can be seen in Z-145 starting to lean to his right to see around Dave Powers, came the closest to correctly describing Oswald's three shots.
Unfortunately, Bennett's favorite words seem to have been words like "immediately" and "exact." This is part of what he wrote by hand on 11/22/63 in CE 2112, WC 24 H 542. My comments are in brackets.
“At this point I heard a noise that immediately reminded me of a firecracker. I immediately, upon hearing the supposed firecracker, [started leaning to my right to see around Dave Powers and] looked at the Boss's car. At this exact [actually, about five seconds later] time I saw a shot that hit the Boss about 4 inches down from the right shoulder; a second shoot [sic] followed immediately [actually, about five seconds later] and hit the right rear high of [?] the boss's head.”
The important thing is that Bennett confirms that the "firecracker sound" was before he started "looking at the Boss' car," and that while doing so he saw a bullet (CE-399) hit JFK in the lower neck/upper back around Z-222.
I contend that the "firecracker" sound was Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot at "Z-124," half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming at Z-133.

You wanna swear by this Agent, but you then manipulate his timing of the shots. Cherry Picking through the statement of an eyewitness is an immediate DQ.

Dear Stormtrooper Storing,
Bennet said he experienced the following in this sequence:
1) Heard "a firecracker"
2) Started looking at the limo
3) Saw a bullet hit JFK in the back
4) Saw a bullet hit JFK in the back of the head
You have a problem with that?

And again, you run away from his fired bullets timeline. That timeline of his proves a conspiracy.

Nice comeback. Now, there's a cleanup needing your attention on Aisle 9.

Well, you are stinking the place up, Stormtrooper Storing.

Dear Stormtrooper Storing,
Do you think the first sound Bennett heard was something other than a shot, e.g., a firecracker?
If so, do you think it was, as he suggested, almost instantaneously followed by the shot he saw hit JFK "about 4 inches below his shoulder"?
If so, do you think IT was, as he suggested, followed almost instantaneously by the shot that blew JFK's head off?
In other words, a total elapsed time of only a second or two for those two shots?
Do you think the "firecracker sound" was actually the first shot, and the total elapsed time for all three shots was still only a second or two?
Doesn't a strict interpretation of what Bennett meant by the words "immediately" and "exact" force us to conclude that one of those lame scenarios was the case?
Do you think (sic) the Zapruder film was altered to make it look as though there were about five seconds between those two shots, instead?
LOL!

Gasp . . . do you think the Zapruder film was altered to make it look as though there were about five seconds between those two shots, i.e., the ones that seem to have been at Z-222 (approximately) and Z-313???
Or . . . do you think the "firecracker sound" was actually the first shot, and the total elapsed time for all three shots was still only a second or two?

The Current Zapruder Film is not the same Zapruder Film that Dan Rather described to the World days after the assassination.

Dear Stormtrooper Storing,
How much time do you think there was between the shot that hit JFK in the lower neck/upper back and the one that blew his head off?
Just one or two seconds, as a literal interpretation of what Bennett meant by the words "immediately" and "exact" forces us to conclude?
If so, do you think the Zapruder film was altered to make it looks as though it was about five seconds, instead?
Yes, or no?
