Just above the box in the window there are three cars in three lanes....
The car in the center lane seems to be in roughly the same position where JFK's limo was when the shots were fired.
How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?
Any suggestions?

Instead of a very broad and typical CT guess, let's apply a little science gathered from original evidence and recreations.
The SS recreation wasn't trying to replicate the Single Bullet Fact just the view of Kennedy within the Limo from the sniper's nest but inadvertently they provided more conclusive evidence of the Single Bullet Fact!
The closest the SS came to what we now know as the Single Bullet Alignment was Z222 and we can see that Connally is virtually in the right position but a little high.

Now when we look at the Zapruder perspective comparison the height differential is explained, the Limo and/or Connally stand-in that the SS used made him too high but with the appropriate Zapruder correction the alignment is perfect.

And what do you know at this precise point in time when the men were precisely lined up, we can see an obvious simultaneous reaction.

To keep denying the Single Bullet Fact is akin to denying the Holocaust and the Moon Landings but I guess you Kooks simply can't help yourselves.

In the Gif above, showing the re enactment and the actual color film, Connally is even further to the right of he limo.In the photo of the reenactment thru the scope, the bullet could not have hit Connally. Placing Connally further to his right as in the actual film shows that the bullet would have been even more magic.The Limos aren't the same, Connally is lower and further back, perspective can be your friend.

Makes no difference. The angle from the TSBD window stays the same as does the trajectory of a straight flying bullet.Weidmann, while you were in Dealey Plaza, you said you did this recreation yourself with lasers (snigger) how about you show us your results and photographs and clear this up once and for all? LOL!
Impress us... use the photograph I posted to begin with and move the limo as much as you like to get a straight line between the rifle and Connally's back wound.

There is a lot of truth to this. A lot of the prominent people who dismiss the Single Bullet Theory also have other eccentric beliefs:
James Fetzer ? An early leading spokesman for the Zapruder film being faked:
Holocaust denier
Michael T Griffith ? The leading authority CTers go with to argue against the Neurological Spasm Theory:
Creationist and denier of the Theory of Evolution
Supports the notion that the South was right to secede from the Union
Jim Marrs ? Author of the book ?Crossfire? used as the basis for the movie ?JFK?
Supported the notion that the government is conspiring with the space aliens
and I believe he was also a Moon Landing denier
Prominent LNers, or even ordinary LNers, like those who post here, do not seem to have quirky beliefs.
Stront voor hersenen. You're comparing the angle on a 2D projection to that on a 3D random overhead view.

First of all no bullet follows a straight line trajectory mainly because of the gravitational forces acting on it.
How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?
First of all that box in the window is not an accurate representation of how that box was placed during the assassination. But close enough. The vehicle in the image is not an accurate representation of the position the Presidential Limousine during the assassination. But close enough. Connally got hit by the same bullet that hit JFK because of the relative positions both men were in at the time of the second shot which made the Single Bullet Theory possible, well not a theory at all but a single bullet fact.

Joe,
Given the initial investigations had a 3 bullet pattern of JFK hit, Connally hit, JFK hit, which was only later modified to fit the Teague strike in after quite a period of time.
That Gov Connally and his wife both consistently asserted that the Gov was hit after JFK.
I do not think being sceptical of the SBT, is a quirky belief.
I love it when posters try to determine a complex 3D trajectory using a static 2D picture.
And JFK's tailor fitted shirt bunched up by how much again?

It is indeed Jerry. Rotate Connally 30 degrees to the right and move Kennedy's right arm inboard and down and you'll have their relative positions at the time of the single bullet strike. It's an awesome photo. Why haven't I seen it before?
Tim,
You don't have a clue about the relative positions of Kennedy and Connally. All you are doing is shifting them around to a point where you think the SBT would work. In other words, you are manipulation the "facts" to fit a predetermined conclusion.

The Zapruder film with a reasonable amount of accuracy gives us the relative positions of Kennedy and Connally.
You must be joking, Tim's scientific methodology is precisely how you solve problems, you deal with the parameters and you match it against the known evidence.

Perhaps Mr Mytton with his excellence in providing doctored photos could mark on the copy of the autopsy sheet where he thinks the bullet that he believes entered at the place marked 14 cos below the mastoid, exited JFK's body.

Unfortunately, every single trajectory shown has the bullet passing front to back through JFK's neck on a route that would have to pass through JFK's cervical vertebrae.

Another simple question. How does a bullet traveling DOWNWARD go upward after allegedly hitting JFK?
Actually, the FBI said in their report that the bullet was traveling downward. So did the testimony of James Humes.
The bullet allegedly came from the sixth floor so it had to be traveling at a downward angle.
(https://sites.google.com/site/jfkforum/hsca/drawings/hsca-vol1-pg231.jpg)
This CT legend began with a simple presentation (above) by the HSCA. The wounds through the neck were established using Clyde Snow's anatomical-positioning method; the center profile among the three head outlines seem to be the nearest to Snow's anatomical-position. Baden showed the transit angle changed as the torso changed, settling on the rightmost outline as the wounding position ("the position of the President at the time the missile struck.")
This "wounding position" is shown in the sketch on the left side of JFK F-46. Unfortunately the artist didn't re-orientate the head to vertical, and so a new legend grew out of this, that the HSCA neck transit could only work if the head was tilted forward as shown by the sketch.
(https://sites.google.com/site/jfkforum/_/rsrc/1395855907867/neckwound/hsca-f46-applied-to-wounding-position.jpg)
The HSCA must have thought readers would be smart enough to realize that when the torso angle at "wounding position" was established then it followed that the head would have to be vertical as in life. But I've seen some doctors on the CT side who couldn't get this.
(https://sites.google.com/site/jfkforum/hsca/canning/sbt/f145_sbtslope.gif)
The HSCA clearly thought the head was at vertical and the neck transit was downward during the wounding. They portrayed it as such in a trajectory drawing.
(https://cdn.homedit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kids-wall-box.jpg)
"Err" Dummkopf, you're applying a ca. Z225 slope to the HSCA's drawing that shows the car at Z190, the place they assigned the second shot based largely on the (faulty) acoustic analysis. The big circle represents the margin-of-error, meaning the shot could have originated anywhere within the circle.

Good, Jerry. Good. Now answer the question. How did a bullet traveling DOWNWARD go upward after allegedly hitting JFK?
Specter had Thomas Kelley testify regarding the adjustments made on May 24, 1964, to assure the stand-ins were in the same alignment as Kennedy and Connally.
Mr. SPECTER. And what adjustment was made, if any, so that the relative positions of those two men were the same as the positioning of President Kennedy and Governor Connally on November 22, 1963?
Mr. KELLEY. The officials at Hess Eisenhardt, who have the original plans of the President's car, conducted a test to ascertain how high from the ground a person 72 1/2 inches would be seated in this car before its modification. And
132
it was ascertained that the person would be 52.78 inches from the ground--that is, taking into consideration the flexion of the tires, the flexion of the cushions that were on the car at the time.
Mr. SPECTER. When you say 52.78 inches, which individual would that be?
Mr. KELLEY. That would be the President.
Mr. SPECTER. And what part of his body?
Mr. KELLEY. The top of the head would be 52.78 inches from the ground. When Mr. Anderton was placed in the followup car, it was found that the top of his head was 62 inches from the ground. There was an adjustment made so that there would be--- the stand-in for Governor Connally would be in relatively the same position, taking into consideration the 3-inch difference in the jump seat and the 2-inch difference in his height.
Mr. SPECTER. Considering the 3-inch difference in the jump seat--and I believe it would be an inch and a half difference in height between President Kennedy and Governor Connally--how much higher, then, approximately, was President Kennedy sitting than the Governor on November 22?
Mr. KELLEY. I am not----
Mr. SPECTER. Would the President have been about an inch and half higher than the Governor on the day of the assassination?
Mr. KELLEY. The day of the assassination, yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And were----
The CHAIRMAN. Wouldn't the height of these men depend upon the length of their torso?
Mr. KELLEY. Well----
The CHAIRMAN. You have some people who are shortwaisted, some people who are longwaisted. I don't know which either of these men were who were of the same height. But I know there is a lot of difference in men. We sometimes see the--a man who looks large sitting down, when he stands up he is small, because he has a long torso, and vice versa.
Mr. KELLEY. Of course the relative positions are apparent from the films that were taken at the time of the assassination. It would be, of course, that judgment---and it would have to be a judgment. But I think the films indicate there was just about that much difference in their height when both were seated.
Mr. SPECTER. Inspector Kelley, I hand you a photograph marked as Commission Exhibit No. 697, which has heretofore been admitted into evidence, and identified by Governor Connally as depicting the President and the Governor as they rode in the motorcade on the day of the assassination, and I ask you if the stand-ins for the President and the Governor were seated in approximately the same relative positions on the reconstruction on May 24.
Mr. KELLEY. Yes., sir; in my judgment that is very close.
Uhh, no. The HSCA Forensic Pathology Panel was at cross-purposes with its trajectory expert.
The FPP concluded the bullet rose within Kennedy's body, but that he was leaning sharply forward when struck. Their exhibits depict this lean.
Blakey went behind their backs and hired a trajectory expert, however. He even gave this expert, Thomas Canning, the authority to move the wounds if he wanted to. So he did.
As a consequence, Canning's exhibits show a bullet impacting at the base of the neck, two inches higher than the Pathology Panel placed the wound. Canning also made up some mumbo-jumbo about Kennedy leaning forward when shot in the back, and then sitting up in his seat before getting shot in the head. This was to hide that neither of the trajectories proposed by the HSCA (back to throat at 190, and cowlick to coronal suture at 313) made any sense when one studied the Zapruder film.
This, to me, was an absolute disgrace... And yes, I talked to Blakey about this at the 2014 Bethesda conference. He feigned interest and gave me his email address. But never responded.

I do not claim he sat on that box... I already said even the WC wasn't sure about that, and AI already said that was probably the waiting position. How many times do I have to say that? I think taking a knee was the choice.
Your need to always yell speaks volumes. You are in an untenable position. You have not shown one shooter image that proves the size of Oswald is correct in proportion to the sn. I have shown Oswald actor Daniel Webber (same size as Oswald) easily placing himself in the corner, JohnM has done similar. A shooter was seen aiming a rifle and firing said rifle downrange at the time of the assassination. You have shown box positions that were moved to be fingerprinted, then returned to the window in casual fashion.. yet you claim something is faked.
You are fighting reality.

When looking at the WC re-enactment scope photos, one must made an adjustment that would have "Kennedy" more to the right. Along with the "Connally" height adjustment, the "Kennedy" horizontal adjustment should line up the throat out-shoot with Connally's back in-shoot.

When "Official" re-enactment disproves the SBT, = "....One must make an adjustment". It never ends

...at the time this photo was taken.....there's NO WAY...
It's quite obvious that JFK was NOT elevated above Connally.....The photo shows that their shoulders were close to the same height above the side of the Lincoln.....
But Connally was closer to the right side of the car
because the rear seat that JFK was sitting on, was narrow and did not extend completely across the full width of the car due to the arm rests and electronic devices built into the sides of the Lincoln....

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4711/39242326375_605256d077_c.jpg)
The rear seat on which JFK sat was only about 3/4 as wide as the width where Connally was sitting...IOW The car was 62 inches across between the doors where the Connally's were sitting. But the seat on which JFK was sitting was only about 45 inches .... Thus Connally was sitting more to the right than depicted in the drawing....
ANOTHER GUY SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE FOOT
You have to be kidding. We know EXACTLY where the jumps seats were located. Their L-R positions were Fixed.
The SS recreation wasn't trying to replicate the Single Bullet Fact just the view of Kennedy within the Limo from the sniper's nest but inadvertently they provided more conclusive evidence of the Single Bullet Fact!
And what do you know at this exact point in time when the men were precisely lined up, we can see an obvious simultaneous reaction.

YOUR VISUAL AID
The goldish colored line Clearly:
(1) Eminates from ground level at the Dal Tex Bld
(2) Extends Down Elm St
(3) Impacts the back of JFK.
Again, are you advocating that the JFK Back Wound was the result of a shot fired from ground level at the Dal Tex Bld ???
(1) Eminates from ground level at the Dal Tex Bld
BUMP with regard to a shot being fired at ground level from the Dal Tex Bld.
Again, are You claiming the goldish colored line is Not eminating from the Dal Tex building at ground level??? Easy question to answer.Im sure that Bill, and anyone other than Mr Magoo, would agree with me that the goldish colored line is not eminating from the DalTex building at ground level.

The above Visual Aid is NOT the same illustration. The goldish colored line above has been radically Relocated/Moved vs the original illustration that was posted. If there was an Error of some sort in the original Visual Aid posted by Bill, all he has to do is state such. Until stating such, his posted illustration Clearly displays the gold line/a shot being fired from the Dal Tex Bld from a ground level position.The visual aid is Bill's posted illustration, ie, the exact same illustration with a new extended line drawn straight over the original line to make the trajectory line clearer.
I borrowed this photo from another thread.

Just above the box in the window there are three cars in three lanes....
The car in the center lane seems to be in roughly the same position where JFK's limo was when the shots were fired.
How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?
Any suggestions?
"14"cm below the Mastoid Process.
Just like on the face sheet.
Another conspiracy theory bites the dust.
So what's the problem with Bill admitting he mistakenly posted a Visual Aid which did Not reflect his Opinion? Your rushing to his aid should Not be necessary.<facepalm>
Are you claiming that you can read the markings on the ruler in the original photo? What does superimposing a different ruler over the photo prove?YAWN, not this crap again!
Are you claiming that you can read the markings on the ruler in the original photo?

It's a standard 30cm ruler.
How do you know?Have another look at the ruler! DUH!

Duh indeed. What tells you this is a "standard 30 cm ruler"?

We know EXACTLY where the jumps seats were located. Their L-R positions were Fixed.
Royell you should know by now.....When debating a LNer NOTHING is fixed solid ..... It's like try to pickup Jello with a tweezers.....
It's pretty clear to me that Connally was seated about 8 inches to the right of JFK.....

Martin, according to the ITEK Corp. Film and Photographic Analysis of the assassination, the lateral angle of trajectory was 11.5? +/-1? right to left, relative to the midline of the limo. They measured Connally to be positioned 6.4" +/-2.2" inboard of Kennedy.
How does a bullet passing through Kennedy's back/neck and throat not end up hitting Connally?
I am not going to debate the ITEK conclusions with you, simply because determinations like these are at best speculative and can be made to measure to fit any theory. There are way too many different theories around about how Connally and Kennedy were positioned and, as far as I know, none of them were ever conclusively proven. I'd much rather discuss what we can see with our own eyes.
All I asked for is that somebody show me a straight line from the window to the limo below, in such a way that a bullet going through Kennedy does not end up in the area between to two jumpseats. So far, despite the fact that they can move the limo to any location in the center lane, nobody has been able to show that straight line.
Taken from the Secret Service follow-up car, earlier in the motorcade route before reaching Dealey Plaza...

Also, The 2 Tall SS Agents standing atop the Queen Mary (R) running board are Never included in the line of sight/alleged "straight line" running from the snipers nest to the back of JFK. Bearing in mind the JFK Limo was progressing Down Hill, these Elevated SS Agents that were within mere feet of JFK should be included. Their continued 54+ year absence from consideration raises obvious questions.
"The 2 Tall SS Agents standing atop the Queen Mary" obstructed a shot from the sixth floor of the Depository building but not from a ground level floor of the Dal-Tex building?
Your protracted reaction reveals You are not being accustomed to warranting that the wagons be circled around You. Get used to it. Nobody is perfect.
Nothing magic about that bullet ! It did not hit anything that day . You can draw all the straight lines you want from the 6th floor window . It's very hard to hit something that's moving.
I forgot that Greer stopped the limo for the final shot .
I also forgot that Tague was not moving either when he was hit on the cheek. I've just never figured out how Motorcycle cop Bobby Hargis ended up with blood and brain matter all over him when he was left and to the rear of the Limo unless that just didn't happen.
Hargis drove into the debris field as it descended. That means it must have been forward of Hargis (ie: it was expelled from the front of Kennedy's skull, just like the Z-film shows it was).
A bullet passing downward through Kennedy's throat would have necessarily hit some part of Connally's body, so if not near the right shoulder blade, then where?

Remember, there is a Back Rest on Gov Connally's jump seat.
Right. Despite the limo being inspected with a fine tooth comb, the FBI and SS somehow missed a bullet hole in the jump seat. ::)
It was a hypothetical question being posed. Numerous JFK Specials attempting to replicate the SBT have Resulted in that shot/bullet going into & or bouncing off of the Limo Dash Board.
Was the Limo "fine tooth comb" inspection you are referring to the FBI inspection conducted Hours After the assassination? If so, they did a Horrible job. They examined an Altered Crime Scene.
Just look at the photos they took. The Limo Sun Visors are DOWN in all of their photos. This was Not the position of the Limo Sun Visors when the Assassination occurred.
Uh huh. Did the guy with the bucket at Parkland also make a bullet hole disappear?
So what? You don't think they looked behind the visors? Why take a photo of something that wasn't damaged.
I borrowed this photo from another thread.The holes in JFK's jacket, shirt, back and throat as well as the abrasion on the left side of the tie knot indicate that the bullet passed through JFK on a right to left angle. There was no indication in the car that the bullet went on to strike anything in the car with significant force. So, if it exited JFK with any significant velocity, which is almost certain, it must have struck something other than the car. That leaves JBC was the only possible object that was struck by the bullet that exited JFK.

But that does not lead to the SBT.
One of the many problems with the SBT is that the right to left angle was about 10-12 degrees depending on where the car was when the first shot occurred. The witness and photographic evidence is pretty consistent that the first shot was after z190 and before z202 and that it struck JFK. At z197, the right-to-left angle was 12 degrees. That means that over the approximately 24 inches between JFK's neck and the plane of the jump seat-back behind Gov. Connally, the bullet travelled another 5 inches farther left. It is not likely or, in my view even possible, that the bullet, traveling in a straight line after leaving JFK struck Gov. Connally in the right armpit.

The Limos aren't the same, Connally is lower and further back, perspective can be your friend.The bullet still goes to the left of JBC's mid-line. You would have to put JBC's right armpit to the left of the centre of the jump seat in order for it to begin to work. Here is the trajectory based on a scale 3D model of Dealey Plaza and the limo with the limo and occupants in positions consistent with frame z197.

Here is the trajectory based on a scale 3D model of Dealey Plaza and the limo with the limo and occupants in positions consistent with frame z197.
But your "SBT Fact" has more than just trajectory problems. It does not fit with:
1. at least 22 witnesses who said that JFK reacted to the first shot as if he was hit by it. Not a single witness said he waved or smiled afterward, let alone for 3 seconds.
2. at least 40 witnesses said the last two shots were perceptibly closer together than the first two. 6 thought it was the other way around.
3. dozens of witnesses put the first shot after z190, including two photographers (Hughes and Betzner), occupants of the VP car and VP security car, and witnesses standing on Elm St.
So as far as the SBT being a "fact", it isn't. It is a theory. And it is a theory that does not fit with a great deal of consistent independent pieces of evidence. There is a much simpler explanation than the SBT that fits with all the evidence, including the overwhelming evidence that Oswald was the only shooter. Three shots, three hits, one shooter. .

Your SketchUp model has been thoroughly discredited.Who has discredited it? You? You have said nothing about the trajectory from the SN. The trajectory shows the bullet going to the left side of Connally. Unless his right armpit was on the left side of his seat the SBT can't work.
Went through those already. How many witnesses could see clearly the President's face or much of his right hand?
In your paper, you state:
"At least 16 witnesses recalled that the President reacted
to the first shot by leaning left and bringing his hands to
his neck. (footnote) From frame 167 to frame 198 of the
Zapruder film the President and First Lady turned to their
right to smile and wave at the crowd. No one said that the
smiling and waving occurred after the first shot."
From your footnote:That's 16 ...
- T.E. Moore (could not see the President's face and not much of his raided right hand;
Moore's "slumping forward" could be head nod in the Z170s as seen from behind.)- Nellie Connally, whom you quote: "I turned over my right shoulder and looked back, and saw the President as he had both hands at his neck." How can Nellie be reacting to a first shot at Z192ish if she doesn't see the President until he has his hands at his neck area? That's nearly two full seconds before she sees Kennedy if she heard a shot at Z192.
- David Powers (can't see the President's face and maybe not his right hand)
- Gayle Newman
- William Newman, whom you quote: "The President jumped up in his seat, and it looked like what I thought was a firecracker had went off and I thought he had realized it. It was just like an explosion and he was standing up." ("Jumped up in his seat" and "he had realized like it" seems like the President was startled, not wounded.)
- John Chism (shot you referenced occurred before the last shot)
- Faye Chism (shot you referenced occurred before the last shot)
- James Altgens, whom you state: "He said his z255 shot was after first shot and before any other." (But his testimony shows he was really only sure of two shots, but when pressed, he placed a shot between the two shots he was sure of.)
- Abraham Zapruder (from the quote you provide, he could be be talking about the Z223 shot)
- Clint Hill (even you acknowledge he only recalled two shots; Hill's "slump" shot could have occurred before the last shot.)
- Linda Willis (she wouldn't see the President "grab his throat" and her view to the President at Z223 was probably blocked; more likely she saw the President when she had a view of him earlier -- "kind of slumped forward" could be the Z170s head nod as seen from behind.)
- George Hickey (can't see the President's face; Hickey claims 2 to 3 seconds passed before he saw the President "slump"; three seconds before Z223 is Z168.)
- Sam Kinney (can't see the President's face; Kinney's statement "I saw the President lean toward the left and appeared to have grabbed his chest with his right hand" could be the Z170s head nod and subsequent right hand lowering as seen from behind.)
- Paul Landis, whom you quote: "I saw him moving in a manner which I thought was to look in the direction of the sound." (Doesn't sound like a witness for leaning leftward nor bringing his hands to his neck. Also can't see the President's face.)
- Cecil Ault, whom you describe with:
"Viewing from court house on Houston. Reported to
have seen JFK rise up in his seat after first shot."
(But Ault's full comment "Following the first shot Mr. AULT noted that President KENNEDY appeared to raise up in his seat in the Presidential automobile and after the second shot the President slumped into his seat" has the President slumping on the second shot.)- Harold Norman ("slumped or something" could just well be the Z170s head nod or Kennedy brushing his hair in the Z150s.)
BTW, several of your first-shot "slump" witnesses thought the first two shots were closer together than the last two.
- Malcolm Summers (shot you referenced occurred before the last shot)
- Mary Moorman, whom you quote: "As I snapped the picture of President Kennedy, I heard a shot ring out. President Kennedy kind of slumped over." (Can't quite link her taking her picture as the first shot occurred.)
- Jean Newman (shot you referencef occurred before the last shot)
- Charles Brehm (shot you referenced occurred before the last shot)
- Pierce Allman, whom you quote: "the President was ducking from the first shot." (Couldn't see the President's face nor much of the right hand; could be head nod in Z170s as seen from behind.)
QuoteThank-you for showing us why that huge amount of consistent evidence must be all wrong in tbe same way for tbe SBT to work.QuoteBetzner said he was winding his camera and looked up from doing that when he heard the first shot. He's still lowering his camera and had yet to look down when he goes out of the Zapruder film at Z207. Your Z197?? first shot has already occurred but a Z223 shot is near to occurring. Betzner said he could only recall two shots but thought he heard another, so his "first shot" is not literally the first shot.So Betzner, Life, the HSCA, Trask and just about everyone except you missed the "fact" that Betzner forgot that he had heard an "ear-shattering" noise two seconds before he took his photo? That is your position?QuoteHughes says he stopped filming about five seconds before the shots were heard. Problem for your Z197?? first shot is that he quits filming at Z185.Hughes estimated that delay at 5 seconds long after the events. So your position is that he not only over-estimated it but he also got it backward and in fact he was filming for 2 seconds after the first shot? I guess if the evidence doesn't fit you shouldn't quit... change it a bit, to make it fit.QuoteThe SBT theory is as simple as it gets. Your theory is unbelievably complicated.The SBT is the complicated theory. Just look at the contortions to the evidence you have shown you need for it to work..
Who has discredited it? You? You have said nothing about the trajectory from the SN. The trajectory shows the bullet going to the left side of Connally.

Your drawing is flawed. You have JBC too far left because the sight line from Zapruder goes to JBC's nose through the side window. He was farther right than that. See this:

Again, the assumption in All of these visual aids is that JFK's throat wound was an Exit Wound. WHERE is there Any Proof that JFK's Back Wound connected/Exited at a point on his Throat?It is not an assumption. It is an inference based on the available evidence.
Andrew, I'm quite sure that I can get the SBT to work. I've done it before.One can get it to work. It is just that one cannot get it to work and fit the evidence. The angle at z225 is 9 degrees so the right to left travel is less. But at z225 JBC had turned around to face forward. With JBC facing forward it is even harder to get the right armpit over to the left so that it is 4 inches farther left than JFK's throat. Sightlines show that JBC is in the middle of his seat so his right armpit is to the right of the middle of the seat. Also JBC's right wrist is not in a position to receive a bullet exiting below his right nipple. And the path does not align with his left leg at all (even if his left leg was not pointing out to the left but was pointing straight forward, which is unlikely).
It is not an assumption. It is an inference based on the available evidence.
There was a 6 mm entry wound on the back just to the right of the spine near the neck. There was no bullet in the body. There was a bullet hole in JFK's neck that was observed by the medical staff at Parkland. The hole was enlarged for a tracheostomy. There were holes in JFK's shirt under the tie and a nick on the tie consistent with a bullet exiting the throat at that location. There was evidence that bullets were fired from the SN using the 6.5 mm rifle found on the sixth floor. Ballistics and medical evidence indicates that JFK's neck would not have stopped such a bullet.
From that evidence one can draw a reasonable inference (I would say the only conceivable inference that can be drawn from that evidence) that the throat wound was an exit wound from the bullet that struck JFK in the back.

(http://www.dufourlaw.com/JFK/limo_z197_First_Shot_1.jpg)
Andrew,Ok. 30 degrees is a 1 o'clock position, which is plausible at z223. But the point is that he is more forward facing that he was at z193. His right armpit has to be to the right of his spine and is nowhere near being 4 inches left of JFK's midline, which is where it has to be for the SBT to begin to work (even ignoring the lack of any alignment of the chest exit and wrist or the wrist and left thigh). You are right that we do not know where the left thigh was exactly but I think it would be highly unusual if his left thigh was on the right side of the jump seat.
We don't know exactly where JBC's left leg was at Z223. Nor his right wrist for that matter. But we do know that he was not facing forward as you claim. He was rotated about 30 degrees to the right. Myers has him rotated 37 degrees at that point.
The hole in JFK's "back" was 7 mm x 4 mm. Do you honestly believe that Humes stuck any of his fingers inside of that hole?

Are you disputing the Size of the Aligned Holes in: (1) JFK's Suit Coat, (2) JFK's Dress Shirt, and (3) JFK's Back /Autopsy Photo/Autopsy Face Sheet ???
I don't understand. Your "shifted" Connally figure doesn't have the sight-line going through his nose -- just more so.You can make the sightlines anything you want if you are not constrained by the evidence. I have made my drawing of the car correspond to the actual dimensions of the car. I don't know where you get your drawing from but the position of the jump seat is several inches farther left than it was and the side window and bulkhead in front of JBC appears to be at least 6 inches closer to the jump seat.
I redrew my alignment using my own drawing of the limousine and making some necessary adjustments. The relationship between Kennedy and Connally at Z193 is basically the same as it was in the 2012 graphic -- just they moved on the new diagram a bit to their right.
Your overhead view is hilarious:Trajectory analysis is possible to do accurately in a 3D model of Dealey Plaza and a correct model of the car. You have yet to make a 3D model so I would not be too quick to criticise those who have.
You're mainly hampered by three things:
- You can't do trajectory analysis
- You can't do 3D analysis (you just picture it in your mind working)
- Your theory's trajectory placements will never work in eternity
I am not disputing the size of the hole as described on the autopsy facesheet. 7 x 4 mm.

And, by the way, I have no theory about trajectory placements - just that they have to conform to the evidence. You don't seem to be constrained by that.

Mytton, you're such a dufus, and a total amateur, mate. You need to take some courses on forensic photogrammetry for you to recognize how clueless and full of BS you are.
All this CAD crap is pointless and misleading. There are 2 angles you need to know to do a formal trajectory analysis, which are the angles from the 6th floor to the limo in 3-space. I accept that the downward angle is 17 degrees and the tangential angle is 7 degrees. But that's where it ends with respect to 3D modelling. I have to laugh at all the CAD renderings to analyze a problem that can be accomplished with human surrogates, not CGI models. Photoshoppers, which includes Myttonhead need to bow out and stop posting crap that they know nothing about. The most frustrating part of posting on the JFK forum is that ALL analyses are null and void because the LNers are not peers wrt photo-analysis. They're photoshoppers, not photogrammetrists.
I have said it over and over how any Joe LNer can settle the premise of this thread by setting up 2 lasers that point at one another (17 deg downward, 7 degrees tangential) and experiment with actors in a simulated limo. Surrogates don't lie, CGI does. Do the damned experiment for yourself. It's cheap and accurate as hell. But somehow I doubt any LNer will post the results.
Lastly, here's more food for thought. If 1 of the head shots did come from the front, then where was the shooter?

The image was simply showing the jacket bunch, the "CAD crap" comes from your Kooky mate Ernie! Hahaha!So if JFK's jacket was "bunched" then he already had his hands to his throat before Z226, which caused the bunching, correct?
Bullets don't travel in straight lines. Try againBullets are like any object subjected to gravitational forces. They will take a parabolic path from start to finish. However, bullets travel so fast that their parabolic arc is very large and almost insignificant over a couple of hundred yards, mate.

You really have to misrepresent everything, don't you? What is it with you? Is it simply that you just can't help yourself or are you really so afraid of the truth that you feel you need to lie all the time?
First of all, I did not do the exact same experiment. I just pointed a laser from the location of the limo to the 6th floor window and I did so to satisfy my own curiosity. And secondly, I did not forget to document it, either. I never planned to do so and never gave it any thought. Obviously, at the time I did it, I was not aware that years later I found run into a complete idiotic liar like you.
In any event, the "experiment" made it painfully obvious that the entire SBT is complete fiction.

Oh puhleeze, let's not go through your history where I have thoroughly smashed everyone of your layman claims, like when you claimed to know photography but didn't know basic 101 about actual 35mm film size or even it's orientation. How embarrassing!WTF are you talking about? You are the layman by everyone's standards.
JFK bunched the hell out of his jacket AFTER he got shot in the throat by the MB, which missed Connally. So what is your point dufus?
Huh?, the jacket was bunched from Love field right through to Elm Street and when any Jacket hole measurements are taken this bunching must be taken into account.
So can YOU, document and prove something for a change instead of bludging off everybody else.Let's get this straight, no one is going to prove anything on the JFK forum, especially YOU.
Calm down and take some deep breaths before you pop a blood vessel.I have done my laser experiment, which proves to me that the MB is BS. Would you buy my results if I posted them? Convince yourself dufus.
If it's so simple show us stop making silly demands, YOU prove it, surely a photography expert has a camera, do you have a camera? Giggle!

Yes, I have done the laser thing and, no I don't expect you to take my word for it. The whole point is for you to do it yourself because you wouldn't buy anything I posted anyway. You are a LNer and it's your job to ignore/obfuscate/deny any and all evidence that suggests Oswald was not a lone nut. Are you saying you might change your mind if I post my results? HA!
Everyone should convince themself by doing the simple, cheap experiment that even dufus Myttonhead can do. And it will be the most enlightening experiment you will ever do. But I doubt you will do it, since it might devastate your LNer world.
Here is what you need: 2 cheap leveling lasers (2 x $20), a protractor to set the angle of trajectory and a camera tripod. That's it! Set it all up as shown below:
(http://www.readclip.com/JFK/2lasers.jpg)
With the 2 lasers pointed at one another, sit in the chair so that the low laser strikes your throat at C6. Does the high laser strike your back at T1? No? Bend forward so that it does. How bent forward are you? Was JFK bent forward to the same degree? The lasers simulate the bullet's straight line trajectory thru your body. To my knowledge no one has formally done this SIMPLE BLOODY EXPERIMENT which anyone can do, which renders all the CGI models moot. No one buys CAD drawings, but who can deny a deadly accurate re-enactment?
Good luck!

Do whatever makes you happy. Then let us know how slouching put the MB in at T1 and out at C6.
A downward trajectory at T1 would strike the first rib. How about enter at C7 and exit 3.5 cm lower at the throat? I don't know where you're getting an exit at C6.
A "downward trajectory" bullet fired from the 6th Floor of the TSBD which Enters at "C7", is NOT going to Exit at a spot on the throat ABOVE the knot in a tie. Now, a bullet fired from the 2nd Floor of the Dal Tex building Might be able to meet your proffered scenario.
Doesn't have to exit above the tie knot. It went through one side of the tie knot.

About the Dr. James Carrico claim that the bullet hole was above the collar.
They're based on objective visual observation.Mine are based on a full size model based on an accurate scale map of Dealey Plaza blown up to actual size and actual survey data. I created a full-size model of the car using the H&E drawing and measurements and photographs. I can then make all measurements on the model. How do you determine angles and distances?
It appears some of your "actual dimensions" made no allowance for perspective.The software takes care of perspective. The perspective in Zapruder's film is somewhat flattened due to the use of a zoom lens.
Observation and perceiving the effect of perspective on measurements and sight alignments.Actual measurements are better.
What are your values for the horizontal and vertical angles at z197? No matter how you do it, the bullet goes right to left

Possibly Connally is centered on
his jump-seat in this picture(https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/albums/userpics/10001/normal_mURI_temp_64f8c3a5.jpg)
Was the jump-seat itself a good distance
from the car interior?(http://ss100x.com/LIMO1961.jpg)
Was the front of the jump seat near the rear
edge of the grab-bar (looking straight down)?
That's why I could no longer add figures and LoS using the 2012 diagram. There may be more adjustments and nudging in the future if new photos and the actual 100-X plans surface. I'm going where the evidence takes me.
Given all the things you've missed, you started off your SketchUp model with a limousine drawing that was inaccurate. And since you don't know how to do 3-D, you're building up from it was a disaster.Sketchup handles all the 3D stuff so one does not have to "know how to do 3D". One just has to know how to use Sketchup. As you have pointed out, the scale drawings of the limo by Hess & Eisenhardt are not completely accurate. That is why my early models of the limo are not quite accurate. Using a variety of photos of the limo at different angles is the only way to get the placements of the seats correct. There may be some details that are still incorrect but I don't think they are major ones. If you can point out specific errors I will check and correct them if you are right.
I know you think your 3D model is the stuff of legend, but is there anything in particular that I pointed out about your 3D model that was inappropriate?You are using early (2012?) versions of the limo model. Use the ones I have posted. Trajectory alignments are based on the actual straight line from the SN to JFK's back where he appears to be in the car in z193. The position of JBC's left leg is a bit of a guess. But it seems to me more likely that it was out to the left a bit than turned inward to the right. The path from JFK's throat to JBC's left thigh just works naturally.
Your trajectory alignments at Z197ish and Z270ish mainly conform to your pet theory.
Use ce1312
Seat him on the brick wall inside. Plenty of room for Oswald to be seen seated in the window and be seen before the motorcade arrived.
Take a knee and move to the edge of the window for the head shot: Brennan didn't know the windows were low to the floor, so the shooter 'appeared' to be standing.
Taking a knee and still visible to Brennan from the belt up?
Pretty sure Brennan said 'approximately'
Nobody knows for sure beyond the tip of the box seen in Dillard what the exact position of the box setup was during the firing sequence. Therefore I, along with witness testimony, can claim that the shooter found a position that enabled him to aim downrange effectively and successfully claim his place in history.
You are in the position of having not only to call each WC witness a liar, but also to tell us what they saw or didn't see.
You're pretty sure about a lot of things. How does that position even equate to "about his belt up"? Do you think the shooter had a belt around his neck? Can you illustrate it, or will you just continue to fall back on "Oswald did it, therefore he must have figured out a position like this"?
Of course you can. Because you start with a conclusion and try to make the evidence fit it. Or more frequently ignore the evidence that doesn't fit it.
I haven't called each WC witness a liar. That's just something you keep making up to avoid having to argue the actual evidence. That would make you the liar.
Are you calling Brennan a liar as well?
No one here can speak for the witnesses
No, just you.

Great. Then Frazier saw a 2 foot long bag that was not CE 142, and Roger Craig saw a Mauser.
And that Buell wasn't paying attention. And that years later said he didn't want to be remembered as the one who drove the (still-prime-and-only) suspect to work. And agreed with Bug that a longer bag could could have been carried in such a way as to escape his attention.
And Craig's sister who said her brother Roger had mental issues all his life.
But of course you are here to explain what these people really meant.
But of course, you get to speak for Frazier and for Dougherty and for Craig and his sister (not to mention speaking for Oswald all the time), because . . . reasons.
Prime example: You just said that Buell saw a 2 foot bag, and conveniently ignored the other factors that I mention.
The rifle must have been disassembled and reassembled.
Without getting a single print on the stock, barrel, bolt, scope, clip and ammo.There was a palm print that was identified as Oswald's on the underside of the gun barrel:

I am not sure about preventing fingerprints, but Oswald was wearing some of tools that can be used to remove them.
Or do you think Oswald was too stupid to know that he might leave fingerprints on the rifle and that these could be used to identify him?

Uhh, Chapman, the guy who came up with this lame excuse is the one claiming to know what Oswald was thinking, not me.
Uhh, Iacoletti... The fact that you called it a 'lame excuse' suggests you must know Oswald would not want to 'look like a sniper'
However, brandishing a rifle, with pistol on his hip, decked out in all-black getup, clutching commie literature* and posing for the camera might suggest that which you dismiss so easily may be not so far off the mark after all.
*All of which Marina found quite amusing, purportedly
Do you realize how difficult it is to remove all your prints from a MC after you have disassembled/reassembled and fired, then ditched it? Impossible!No, I don't. Tell me how difficult it would be.
And Shirley, Oswald realized that a printless rifle would still lead back to him, regardless of whether they snuck a post-mortem palm print on the stock.Or to a PO Box registered under "AJ HIDELL". And my name is Andrew, BTW.
Which leads us to why would military marksman Oswald, who knew a thing or 2 about rifles, keep a useless scope on the MC when he knew he would have to use the iron sights?According to Robert Frazier of the FBI, the scope was slightly out but if the target was moving in the direction away and to the right, the error was reduced. So by aiming at the president's head it would have hit 6 inches lower in the upper back. 3 H 409
The fact that you called it a 'lame excuse' suggests you must know Oswald would not want to 'look like a sniper'
No.

I personally think it was an interesting take on the possibilities given Oswald's aforementioned BY antics, History diary, wanting to be remembered for the next 10,000 years...
Any hints in there for you, Martini?
No, I don't. Tell me how difficult it would be.
Or to a PO Box registered under "AJ HIDELL". And my name is Andrew, BTW.Sorry Andrew, but Shirley LHO knew that any rifle found in the building would come back to him. The FBI linked the gun to Oswald in less than 12 hours! Imagine that.

No, I don't. Tell me how difficult it would be. Or to a PO Box registered under "AJ HIDELL".
Damned near impossible. And at the very least, Oswald must have taken the time AFTER the shooting to wipe his prints off the stock, bolt and trigger, before ditching the weapon. You give LHO way too much credit. No one could have done this, let alone patsy Oswald.
What gave you the idea that there was a PO box registered under AJ HIDELL?I am assuming or inferring that. The actual registration documents for that box were destroyed.. A Hidell was likely registered to receive mail at that box because mail addressed to that name was received at that box. When Oswald moved to New Orleans he registered A. Hidell as a person entitled to receive mail there.
It sure is easy to make an argument when you just assume that the thing you're trying to prove is true.

A person can study Oswald's backstory including the BY scene, the 'killer of facsists' note, George DeM joking around about the Walker attempt, Oswald often calling himself important (according to Marina, and which she also found funny).
I contend that adding the scope to the mix could arguably align with Oswald's known arrogant behaviour.
Stop yelling, and take your meds

Barrel, inside the stock
Carcano stock too rough to hold useable prints
Technology now exists that helps find useable prints on spent shell casings, even when prints have wiped off.
Your assumption is false as even the FBI said that no one but LHO was listed to receive mail at his Dallas P.O. Box.Do you have a cite for that? Harry Holmes, Chief Inspector of the US Postal Service for Dallas, stated that the Part 3 of the post office box application form contained a list of other people authorized to receive mail at that box and that Part 3 was thrown away (in accordance with post office practice) when the box was closed in May 1963. So, the fact is that we do not know who else may have been listed to receive mail in Box 2915, Dallas in March 1963. Here is his testimony (7 H 527):

So, the fact is that we do not know who else may have been listed to receive mail in Box 2915, Dallas in March 1963. Here is his testimony (7 H 527):
MR. LIEBELER -- "So there is no way, as I understand it, to tell from the records maintained, as far as you know anyway, who was authorized to receive mail at Post Office Box 2915 that Oswald had while he was here in Dallas before he went to New Orleans in April of 1963; is that correct?"
MR. HOLMES -- "Other than Oswald himself and his name on the application."
....
Not before the FBI saw them apparently.Are you suggesting that the FBI saw Part 3 and then destroyed it? You will need some evidence because the Post Office said that Part 3 was thrown away in May 1963 when the box was closed. The likely explanation for the FBI memo is that they retrieved the first part of the application and assumed that since there were no other persons listed or no part 3 present that there were no others registered to receive mail. That would, of courese, be incorrect, as Holmes explained. The fact that the only remaining Part 3 of a post office box application made by Oswald lists Hidell and Marina as persons entitled to receive mail at that box is interesting. In the end it does not matter. We know that the rifle and gun were sent to that box and that Oswald was in possession of them. We know this from Marina and the BY photos.

What mail? And don't say the rifle, because that would be a circular argument! However, see the above.What is circular about the fact that Klein's sent the rifle to Oswald's PO box under Hidell's name and the fact that the rifle was in Oswald's possession?
Not before the FBI saw them apparently.
(http://oi39.tinypic.com/2w7fleh.jpg)
Where does it say the FBI saw anything?
What does exist is Oswald's New Orleans Post Office Application and we can all see Oswald's previous behaviour.
What is circular about the fact that Klein's sent the rifle to Oswald's PO box under Hidell's name and the fact that the rifle was in Oswald's possession?
Probably the same thing that is circular about the fact that Seaport Traders sent the revolver to Oswald's PO box under Hidell's name and the fact that the revolver was in Oswald's possession in the Texas Theatre.
It's part of an FBI report.
That tells you nothing about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas. And the FPFC card doesn't relate to PO boxes at all.

If I remember correctly, Seaport had only received a 10 dollar payment when the revolver was ordered and shipped the weapon c.o.d. for the remaining balance of something like 19 dollar.
If the outstanding balance was paid upon receipt of the weapon, shouldn't there be any paperwork for that?
At least something like a confirmation for the transfer of the money to Seaport....
I don't know if there should be paperwork for it or not. Here is what we have though:

Mr. BALL. Is there anything in your files which shows that the Railway Express did remit to you the $19.95?
Mr. MICHAELIS. The fact that the exhibit number--may I see this green one?
Mr. BALL. Five.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Was attached to the red copy of the invoice.
Mr. BALL. Red copy of the invoice being----
Mr. MICHAELIS. No; was attached to the red copy of the invoice, exhibit number----
Mr. BALL. Two.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Indicates that the money was received.
It's part of an FBI report.
That tells you nothing about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas. And the FPFC card doesn't relate to PO boxes at all.
It's part of an FBI report.
That tells you nothing about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas.
How does that answer my question?
You CTs are so predictable, in court I'd present the established predictable behaviour of Oswald's New Orleans Post Office application with AJ Hidell written in Oswald's handwriting and you'd present...... nothing.
JohnM
Do you realize how difficult it is to remove all your prints from a MC after you have disassembled/reassembled and fired, then ditched it? Impossible! And Shirley, Oswald realized that a printless rifle would still lead back to him, regardless of whether they snuck a post-mortem palm print on the stock.
Which leads us to why would military marksman Oswald, who knew a thing or 2 about rifles, keep a useless scope on the MC when he knew he would have to use the iron sights? Especially, if he smuggled it disassembled into the TSBD in a too short paper bag? If you counter with, Oswald didn't know the scope was useless because he hadn't shot the rifle before, then you have to explain how phenomenal it was that a rusty marksman pulled off 2 for 3 hits in 10 secs on a moving target with a wonky scope?
Oswald must have looked thru the scope, lined up JFK's head and hit Tague with a ricochet off the pavement. He must have noticed the small dust cloud from the 1st shot and re-calibrated his aim thru the scope for the MB shot, and what a shot it was. 7 wounds and very close to a head shot, all after bolting in the next round and re-aiming thru the wonky scope.
It took 3 shims to realign the scope on the MC before the FBI could even hit the target. The scope was useless and the big question is whether Oswald knew this and used the iron sights instead. And if Oswald knew the scope was useless, then why did he keep it on the gun when he smuggled its parts into the TSBD?
Answer: The scope was left on the gun (which was never disassembled/reassembled BTW) because the MC that was planted on the 6th floor needed to match the backyard photos of Oswald holding it. Sheep dipping 101. Otherwise, there is no way in hell that Oswald could have not left a single print on the stock, barrel, bolt, trigger, clip and ammo. Impossible.
Emboldening words is not shouting. Putting words in "upper case" is shouting. Please try to keep up, Chappers.
You mean like this, from Ernie?Your apology for being wrong accepted.
YOUR BOX IS OTHERWISE POSITIONED THEN THE BOX IN THE REAL DILLARD PHOTO,........
And since all-caps are banned from this forum, one could argue that all-bolded text becomes the go-to formatting (for conveying yelling) by default.
IMO, all-caps plus bolding, as in Ernie's sample above (combined with his automatic insults to all LNers who dare disagree with him) are tantamount to screaming
'Answer: The scope was left on the gun (which was never disassembled/reassembled BTW) because the MC that was planted on the 6th floor needed to match the backyard photos of Oswald holding it.

Thanks for clearing that all up for us

Remember they say Oswald never owned that rifle. That's what he said too.
All planted.
So the same rifle they say Oswald never had is in the picture of him with that rifle. And oh yeah, he really truly did bring curtain rods to work that day. The ones never found? The ones he didn't bring with him when he left the building right after the shooting? The ones he absolutely needed to bring to his room. Yeah, those rods.
That's called conspiracy logic. It doesn't have to make sense; it just has to clear Oswald.
Yes, the top CIA agent Oswald who never had a car, never had a phone, never had a house, lived on unemployment checks and apparently went on his top secret missions using a bus.
In cloud cuckoo land that makes sense. Everywhere else it's absurd.
Now apply all that to Oswald being a fake defector singleton agent, sheep dipped as a patsy and it all makes sense to those with freedom of thought.
Tell us why anyone would want to entertain fringer theories.
Additionally, if you have proof that anyone else besides the killer knew that there was about to be an attempt made on Kennedy that day, by all means do post it.
Do you need to be reminded that the official narrative is also nothing more than a theory?
So is Newtonian gravity.
Tell us why anyone would want to entertain fringer theories.
This coming from the guy who recently persistently bored us with a "I don't know for sure but he possibly could have" argument is absolutely hilarious.
Do you need to be reminded that the official narrative is also nothing more than a theory?
The WC findings were the results of an investigation, not the results of a trial.
CTers might claim that the truth was covered up... and yet none of you has presented a plausible, coherent counter-narrative, as abundantly demonstrated by nothing but dead silence in the lack of response to my ongoing invitation for anyone to name their own shooter and prove that anyone other than the assassin knew there was to be an attempt to be made on Kennedy that day. Feel free to post to provide those answers.
I'm 100% sure that Oswald probably did it.
;)

I'm 100% sure that Oswald probably did it.
Weighing one side against the other has led me to that probability.
Stop twisting what I said
I said probably, not merely 'possibly'
'Possibly' is generic, sitting on the fence
'Probably' implies taking a stance
It's a combination of the evidence pointing to Oswald as well as the lack of a credible and viable alternative that says to me that Oswald alone killed JFK.
There have been numerous investigations, of course, into the assassination. The conspiracy crowd fixates on the Warren Commission Report and ignores the other investigations that have been done (the HSCA, the Clark Panel, the Rockefeller Commission (granted, this was pretty slipshod), et cetera). This includes those done by news organizations - CBS, ABC, PBS - as well as investigations by private journalists like Tim Weiner on the CIA and other reporters. We can add the works of historians like those by Caro and Dallek to the mix.
Add all of this up and the conspiracy believers have rumors and allegations and "suspicious" behavior but no alternative explanation that is the least bit persuasive.
Nobody is twisting what you said.
What makes you think my remark was about your lame "I'm 100% sure that Oswald probably did it." "stance" ?
Your statement:
"This coming from the guy who recently persistently bored us with a "I don't know for sure but he possibly could have" argument is absolutely hilarious."
You are twisting what I actually said in an abundantly transparent manner by exchanging 'probably' (my word) for 'possibly' (your word). The two have completely different connotations. Agreed?
And so it remains a theory.
>A theory that is plausible and coherent, as opposed to diddly squat from CT tall foreheads.
Btw is it you opinion that every investigation Always results in the right outcome?
> Nope. OJ for instance
Oh, there are some honest LNs also who will agree that there was indeed a cover up of sorts after the fact.
> The CYA is a given
Your request is a pathetically stupid one, because even if no counter-narrative would exist, that still would not mean your theory is the right one.
> Point out where I said my conclusions were the right ones
Besides, no counter narrative will ever be considered plausible by you and your ilk
>Your first step would be to present one
Trying to shift the burden of proof isn't really a very convincing way to make your case, but LNs like yourself are constantly doing that nevertheless. Could it be that you actually understand just how weak your own case really is?
> LOL. Since when has any evidence at all not been called fake by you characters? And note that I've never claimed I could prove anything in this case.
Several members of this board are already acutely aware of the lack of sound judgment on your part.
> Who shall heretofore remain nameless like your shooter. Remind them that they are also invited to name their shooter and present a coherent counter-narrative
There have been numerous investigations, of course, into the assassination.
Indeed... and basically all used the same evidentiary material and most were politically motivated.
HSCA chairman Henry Gonzalez and Chief Counsel Richard Sprague both resigned because of disagreements over the investigative techniques used. And Sprague's Robert K. Tanenbaum also left shortly thereafter.
All private and news investigations were always restricted by the information that was already available at the time of those investigations. It's a bit like playing basketball with one hand tied behind your back.
The investigations by ABC, CBS and PBS as well as the ones done by the NY Times and Washington Post were politically motivated? Restricted by the information available?
They didn't conduct their own interviews? Talk to witnesses themselves? They were "politically motivated"? Really?
Do you know anything about their investigations? Such as the PBS Frontline investigation that interviewed hundreds of witnesses over years?
This is conspiracy nonsense at its finest.
There have been numerous investigations, of course, into the assassination.
Indeed... and basically all used the same evidentiary material
What other material should they have used?
What about the material they could have gathered during a real investigation of their own, rather than just rely (time after time) on the material that went through Hoover's filter?
What material would that be exactly and just how would they go about gathering it? Should the material gathered by the Dallas Police and examined by the FBI be ignored?
What material would that be exactly
How in the world would I know what a second investigation would have turned up?
I answered your original question... You figure out the rest.
A second investigation? Have you ever heard of the House Select Committee on Assassinations?
You're the one suggesting that a non-government investigation would be preferable. Why not explain why and then explain how such an investigation would work? What possible materials could be gathered by a private entity that would have greater evidentiary value than materials gathered by law enforcement agencies?

You mean the HSCA investigation who said
"The HSCA found that although the Commission and the different agencies and departments examining Kennedy's assassination performed in good faith and were thorough in their investigation of Lee Harvey Oswald, they performed with "varying degrees of competency" and the search for possible conspiracy was inadequate.:2 The HSCA determined, based on available evidence, that the probable conspiracy did not involve the governments of the Soviet Union or Cuba. The committee also stated that the conspiracy did not involve any organized crime group, anti-Castro group, nor the FBI, CIA, or Secret Service."
Seems your HSCA don't support your view that there was no conspiracy.
Yup.That's the one.
I. Findings of the Select Committee on Assassinations in the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Tex., November 22, 1963
Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at President John F. Kennedy. The second and third shots he fired struck the President. The third shot he fired killed the President.
President Kennedy was struck by two rifle shots fired from behind him.
The shots that struck President Kennedy from behind him were fired from the sixth floor window of the southeast corner of the Texas School Book Depository building.
Lee Harvey Oswald owned the rifle that was used to fire the shots from the sixth floor window of the southeast comer of the Texas School Book Depository building.
Lee Harvey Oswald, shortly before the assassination, had access to and was present on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.
Lee Harvey Oswald's other actions tend to support the conclusion that he assassinated President Kennedy.
"Scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. Other scientific evidence does not preclude the possibility of two gunmen firing at the President. Scientific evidence negates some specific conspiracy allegations."
Ah yes, the acoustical evidence.
IV. Recommendations for further investigation
The Department of Justice should contract for the examination of a film taken by Charles L. Bronson to determine its significance if any, to the assassination of President Kennedy.
The National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice of the Department of Justice and the National Science Foundation should make a study of the theory and application of the principles of acoustics to forensic questions, using the materials available in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study.
The Department of Justice should review the committee's findings and report in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and after completion of the recommended investigation enumerated in sections A and B, analyze whether further official investigation is warranted in either case. The Department of Justice should report its analyses to the Judiciary Committee.
The National Research Council Committee on Ballistic Acoustics findings:
-The acoustic analyses do not demonstrate that there was a grassy knoll shot, and in particular there is no acoustic basis for the claim of 95% probability of such a shot.
- The acoustic impulses attributed to gunshots were recorded about one minute after the President had been shot and the motorcade had been instructed to go to the hospital.
- Therefore, reliable acoustic data do not support a conclusion that there was a second gunman.
Glad to see you agree with their conclusions, Richard. there was a conspiracy.
Or do you just want to cherry pick what they said?

Ray, I do agree with their conclusions. Do you? Or do you just want to cherry pick what they said?"The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee is unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy."
FTR, they never said that there was a conspiracy. They said there was probably a conspiracy.

I asked you first. :D
Ray, I do agree with their conclusions. Do you? Or do you just want to cherry pick what they said?What is wrong with agreeing with some of their conclusions and disagreeing with others? I disagree with their conclusion that there was a second gunman because that conclusion is based on very unreliable acoustic analysis that has since been completely discredited, let alone that it fits with no other evidence.
FTR, they never said that there was a conspiracy. They said there was probably a conspiracy.
Probably the same thing that is circular about the fact that Seaport Traders sent the revolver to Oswald's PO box under Hidell's name and the fact that the revolver was in Oswald's possession in the Texas Theatre.
You CTs are so predictable, in court I'd present the established predictable behaviour of Oswald's New Orleans Post Office application with AJ Hidell written in Oswald's handwriting and you'd present...... nothing.
Life can turn on a dime...

Ray, I do agree with their conclusions. Do you?
Can you prove that Oswald owned that rifle? Or that that specific rifle is the one in the backyard photos? That's LN logic. Make up conclusions that you can't prove and state them as facts. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to convict Oswald.It is really not essential to the case that Oswald owned the gun. If the ownership of gun found on the 6th floor could not be tied to Oswald (ie. suppose Klein's had a fire and lost all its records), the case would not fall apart. In any event, one does not have to prove all facts separately beyond a reasonable doubt in order to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Here is what you need: 2 cheap leveling lasers (2 x $20), a protractor to set the angle of trajectory and a camera tripod. That's it! Set it all up as shown below:
(http://www.readclip.com/JFK/2lasers.jpg)
With the 2 lasers pointed at one another, sit in the chair so that the low laser strikes your throat at C6. Does the high laser strike your back at T1? No? Bend forward so that it does. How bent forward are you? Was JFK bent forward to the same degree? The lasers simulate the bullet's straight line trajectory thru your body. To my knowledge no one has formally done this simple experiment which anyone can do, which renders all the CGI models moot. No one buys CAD drawings, but who can deny a deadly accurate re-enactment?
Good luck!
Just to remind the LNers, re the simple, cheap experiment that will convince them of the path of the MB thru JFK.
ps why haven't any of the LNers posted their results showing the MB did indeed enter JFK at T1 and exit at C6 showing the MB was feasible? (rhetorical)

I borrowed this photo from another thread.
(https://preview.ibb.co/jJ7yPR/Slide350.gif) (https://ibb.co/cis9W6)
Just above the box in the window there are three cars in three lanes....
The car in the center lane seems to be in roughly the same position where JFK's limo was when the shots were fired.
How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?
Any suggestions?
Thank you for posting this photo Martin. Can I borrow it? Oh, I'll just go ahead and make my observation. I would like someone (CT's) to look at the center car and tell me where a shooter could have been out in front of it. Many CT's (most) claim that a shot went through the front windshield and struck the president in the throat. Where was that shooter?
For what it is worth....See the truck in the background? The one that just passed the triple underpass going into town? During the shooting there was a flatbed truck parked there (it can be seem in Zapruder's frame 410) and that location lines up near perfect in a straight line with the limo coming down Elm street. A photo taken from the grass next to where Zapruder stood (I believe Dillard took it), just after the shooting, shows a man by the truck that wasn't there in frame 410. Shortly after that the truck disappeared. Somebody did not hang around DP in the aftermath of the shooting.....
Are you saying there was a shooter there? You are aware that there were two policemen and several workers on top of the triple underpass? None of them reported hearing a shot come from there.
No, I am answering your question about where a shooter could have been. That's what you wanted to know, right?
There is in fact photographic evidence of the flatbed truck being there one moment and gone the next and the location lines up with the limo in Altgens 6.
The fact that some people on top of the triple underpass did not see a possible shooter doesn't mean he wasn't or couldn't have been there. Let's not forget that the witnesses were looking at the limo coming down Elm street...
(https://sites.google.com/site/jfkforum/_/rsrc/1471667104794/neckwound/generic-anatomic-and-seated-positions.jpg)
If the slump is severe enough, I suppose it's possible to make a portion of C6 go below a portion of T1. But don't worry, the bullet didn't enter at T1 and didn't exit at C6 anyway.
If you're going to try this experiment, effect a less pronounced slouch and have the bullet enter over from the C7 bump at the back of the neck. Since the body in the experiment is parallel to the laser paths, the 17? ground laser should strike the front of the neck at a level equal to a point above the jugular notch, as shown below.
(https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/albums/userpics/10001/normal_BE3_HI.JPG)
That's if you've managed to mimic the posture of the President's neck at the time he was wounded. But at least you tried.
Critics don't want it to work and they will cite the 99% of the time when it doesn't work. A sensible margin of error of 10% would cut the failure rate considerably. But you notice Trojan didn't offer it.

Wesley, there's no need for you to borrow the photo from Martin. You'll find that photo and many more at the following site;
https://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/collections/JFKDP/browse/?q=boxes
Thanks Tim. I was just being sarcastic. :D
Why would any LNs try to show that the Single Bullet entered at T1 and exited at C6?
It is really not essential to the case that Oswald owned the gun.
The evidence may not persuade you. But I would venture to say that if you picked any jury and asked them, based on the evidence, whether it had been proven that Oswald owned the gun, they would find that it had.
You have a good point and observation. I believe that maybe there was more than one gunman but at the same time no one has proof of that and people heard the shots from the building that Oswald was in. But I believe Oswald was only a decoy. Take a look at this article before I say any more to make my point. I have more evidence as well. Skip down to where it talks about the assassination with Kennedy. There is fingerprint evidence mentioned in this article as well.
http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwallaceM.htm
I agree. The case against Oswald needs to prove that he did the shooting.Well, ownership is relevant because it connects Oswald to the murder weapon. A jury does not have to find he owned it beyond a reasonable doubt to conclude that he owned the gun. They only have to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed the murder. They could conclude that he likely owned the gun and use that as one of the many pieces of evidence connecting Oswald to the murder to ultimately find, beyond a reasonable doubt, Oswald guilty.
Why would you venture to say that? Just because you think he did? You have to actually examine the evidentiary basis for that conclusion and you're left with an unscientific handwriting "analysis" of a couple of block letters on a photo of a microfilm copy of a 2-inch order coupon and an "order blank" printed from microfilm that is now "missing" showing a PO box box number that Oswald had access to with a serial number handwritten on the form at some indeterminate time. And a photo with a rifle that (despite what Mytton claims) cannot be proven to be be the same rifle.
Evidence? Sure. Evidence beyond a reasonable doubt? Hardly. But even if it was, you've already pointed out the problem. Showing that somebody owned a gun doesn't tell you anything about who fired it at the president.
What year did this person "debunk" the evidence because in 1998 an investigator by the name of Walt Brown identified it as Wallace's and he was a real investigator.
By contrast, Mellen did the due diligence. She obtained a quality fingerprint image from the National Archives and showed it to an accredited expert, Robert Garrett, without disclosing the issue at stake. Garrett stated, without qualification, that the fingerprint does not match Wallace?s. Mellen reproduces his methodology. The Mac Wallace fingerprint myth has now been definitively debunked.

They only have to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed the murder. They could conclude that he likely owned the gun and use that as one of the many pieces of evidence connecting Oswald to the murder to ultimately find, beyond a reasonable doubt, Oswald guilty.
The ownership of the gun comes from many different sources and circumstances. Marina admitted that Oswald purchased a rifle at about the same time as the purchase from Klein's by "Hidell" and that he had told her that he used the rifle to shoot at Gen. Walker.
She said the rifle was kept in the garage in a blanket.
The rifle was not there after the assassination. No other rifle belonging to Oswald has ever been found.
The rifle had Oswald's palm print on the stock.
His prints were on the paper bag found in the SN.
Marina admitted taking the backyard photo of Oswald with the rifle.
Oswald was seen taking a long paper package that he told Buell Frazier contained curtain rods.
No curtain rods were ever found, of course. Oswald denied telling Frazier this and said he took his lunch. A jury might have little difficulty concluding that was not a lunch bag and that it did not contain curtain rods.
On all the evidence, it is difficult to fathom how any group of 12 reasonable people could, at the end of the day, find that Oswald was not tied to that rifle found in the TSBD.
Finding Oswald guilty of murder requires more than that, of course. But there is ample evidence simply from Oswald's conduct after the assassination adding to the strong circumstantial link to the rifle.
All the evidence, together, is more than enough to establish Oswald's involvement beyond a reasonable doubt. The similar fact evidence from Marina of the attempt on Gen. Walker, is just icing on the cake.
The Mac Wallace myth
From Faustian Bargains
by Joan Mellen
JFKFacts
October 12, 2016
[Excerpt]
Fingerprint
Mellen?s biggest service is to revisit the story of an unidentified fingerprint found on a box on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Numerous JFK researchers have repeated the claim that the fingerprint was that of Mac Wallace, an LBJ associate who apparently murdered a man whom he believed to have slept with his wife. As Mellen shows with a careful reconstruction of the case, Wallace escaped punishment for the crime thanks to legal machinations of Texas politicos aligned with LBJ. From these events arose the hoary legend that Mac Wallace had something to do with JFK?s assassination.
Mellen kills the legend. She points out that the two ?experts? who said that fingerprint came from Wallace were not certified identification experts at the time of their claims. They also used a faulty image of the fingerprint. She notes that the JFK authors who repeated the story of the Mac Wallace fingerprint often used identical language without ever bothering verify the claim.
By contrast, Mellen did the due diligence. She obtained a quality fingerprint image from the National Archives and showed it to an accredited expert, Robert Garrett, without disclosing the issue at stake. Garrett stated, without qualification, that the fingerprint does not match Wallace?s. Mellen reproduces his methodology. The Mac Wallace fingerprint myth has now been definitively debunked.
Rubbish. Wallace's fingerprint is not a myth as much as you LNers would like to believe. Joan Mellen was taking the word of a member of the FBI, who originally pooh-poohed the print, based on what??? Where is their analysis/report? You can't just say nope the print doesn't match. Obviously, the FBI is still working the BS to this day. Why would Walt Brown lie? Was he not as competent as whomever analyzed the print at the FBI? Isn't that like the GOP overseeing the Trump investigation? Give me a break!

Uhhh...do you know who Walt Brown is?
The fingerprints exist so instead of your endless bleating get up off your lazy ass, take the fingerprints to someone with authority and prove something for a change.
JohnM
He's the researcher who got A. Nathan Darby to analyze the fingerprint and declared it a match to Wallace. Didn't he?
:D Did you get off your lazy ass and do my laser experiment yet? I'll bet you did and you're choked over the results!
Ok. The way that you worded it sounded like you were say that Walt Brown was the expert in fingerprint identification.
Darby never analyzed a fingerprint and matched it to Wallace. He analyzed a photograph of a palm print and declared it a match to Wallace's fingerprint.
Actually Tim, Darby did analyze a left little fingerprint of Wallace's. The problem was, it was a plant.
That's what all this has turned in to. It is just so the CT buff authors can sell books.
Isn't it funny how LNers are all about the planted evidence when it suits them.
Yeah, because Posner, Bugliosi, and Myers didn't want to sell books. They did it out of the goodness of their hearts.
What kind of publisher's advance do you think Weisberg ever got?
Do you dispute that Darby was played by McClellan and Harrison? Yes john I'm aware that Weisberg did some of his own publishing. It's because what he writes is crap.
No, what you write is crap.
So you don't dispute that Darby was played, Excellent! Now I'm with you on that Fence John. It's getting wobbly, tell me what you think happened? On a different post you stated there may be more than just Oswald did it and a conspiracy. Enlighten me John. Give me some more choices.
I don't know if Darby was played. I don't know if Garrett was played either. Or Vincent Scalice for that matter. I do know that print matching is subjective, prone to bias, and that the criteria for a positive match vary.
You ever watch the first Star Trek John? In one episode Spock said something like "if I drop a hammer, I do not need to see it hit the floor to know that it has". That's logic John, which is something few of you have on here. If Spock was here you guys would say, "well Spock, I heard the hammer hit the floor, but my head was turned , so I don't know that it was the hammer that made the noise, and I can't be sure if the hammer really even hit the floor", and on forever. It truly is fascinating, the things some of you come up with.
Actually Tim, Darby did analyze a left little fingerprint of Wallace's. The problem was, it was a plant. Author Barr McClellan along with another author named Harrison gave Darby an old fingerprint card and what they claimed was a latent print and have him analyze them. Of course he said it was a match. When he was told that the only latent print found was a palm print Darby knew he had been played. It was all just so McClellan and Harrison could write a book. That's what all this has turned in to. It is just so the CT buff authors can sell books. That is why people like Harold Weisberg fight so hard against authors like Bugliosi and Posner. It kills their book sells if too many people start believing Oswald acted alone. It is disgusting that they make so much money off of lies and the president's death.
Isn't it funny how LNers are all about the planted evidence when it suits them.
Author Barr McClellan along with another author named Harrison gave Darby an old fingerprint card and what they claimed was a latent print and have him analyze them.
You mean the way Latona was given an index card with what they claimed was a latent partial palmprint lifted from the rifle
How is that anywhere near the same? The card did hold a latent print that was lifted from the rifle.
If Spock's head was turned, how would he know who dropped the hammer?Maybe he would use logic to conclude that it was the guy who immediately picked up the hammer, threw it into the closet, ran out the door and down to the officers' mess and grabbed a Dr. Klingon (a popular soft drink) to look cool and avoid suspicion, then ran toward the escape deck killing a Vulcan security guard on the way, then ran into the virtual reality theater (without paying) and finally tried to shoot the security guards when placed under arrest.
If any of you could link some websites that talk about Johnson and his associate's involvement in the assassination I would appreciate it.
If Spock's head was turned, how would he know who dropped the hammer?
It's not clear to me what you are saying. I assumed that Darby was given fingerprints of Wallace's in order to compare with the unidentified print from the sixth floor. I don't know what you mean by "it was a plant" though. Perhaps you mis worded it. A fraud by Livingston and McClellan may be what you meant to say.
If Spock's head was turned, how would he know who dropped the hammer?
Are you a Trekie? Do you go to those conventions where they all dress up as characters on the show? Wow, that's cool.
Tim, McClellan and Harrison gave Darby an old fingerprint of Wallace's along with an old fingerprint card with Wallace's print on it. They never gave Darby the real latent palm print from the TSBD 6th floor. It was all a fake.
'The Case Against LBJ' by Roger Stone, pretty much covers everything you're looking for.Stone provides a few grounds for suspicion but no evidence. I guess LBJ was so powerful that he was able to make the evidence disappear.

LBJ was befriended by literally everyone, and if he wasn't he threatened to blackmail them, so no it doesn't surprise me that all evidence is "disappeared"Ok, I get it. So you are saying that the fact that there is no evidence that LBJ was involved is, therefore, evidence he was involved.
LBJ was befriended by literally everyone, and if he wasn't he threatened to blackmail them, so no it doesn't surprise me that all evidence is "disappeared"
That's literally defining a psycho with that. Wow, I can't believe he put dynamite on an innocent dog.Apparently, he even had his own sister murdered by Mac Wallace.
I'm not saying that necessarily, but what I am saying is that people who knew him personally have said that he was a very violent man and always got what he wanted. If he didn't he would have his associates or as I should say a "hitman" kill them. For instance, When Henry Marshall found that Billie Sol Estes was committing a crime he was going to tell authorities and Johnson said he would promote him if he kept his mouth shut and he refused so he had Malcolm Wallace Kill Marshall at his own farm.
Apparently, he even had his own sister murdered by Mac Wallace.
That's literally defining a psycho with that. Wow, I can't believe he put dynamite on an innocent dog.
I know these claims were made in an episode of "the men who killed Kennedy" but beyond that has any of this ever been substantiated?
"LBJ KILLED JFK
After 50 years, the sad truth is revealed?
Unknown to the general American public and never mentioned in history books is the fact that a Texas Grand Jury has officially indicted and found Lyndon Baines Johnson guilty as a co-conspirator (from his association with Malcolm Wallace, Billie Sol Estes and Edward Clark) in the following nine (9) murders:
The killing of Henry Marshall (the Agriculture Secretary)
The killing of George Krutelnik (an FBI informant who worked for Estes)
The killing of Ike Rogers and his secretary
The killing of Harold Orr (an FBI informant who worked for Estes)
The killing of Coleman Wade (an FBI informant who wqorked for Estes)
The killing of Josefa Johnson (LBJ?s own sister!)
The killing of John Kinser (Josefa?s boyfriend)
The killing of President John Kennedy
Read the complete article here(several pages):
http://www.viewzone.com/lbj/indexx.html"
Ray, Grand Juries do NOT find people guilty or not guilty.
Wesley, Are sure about that? From a signed 1998 affidavit by Nathan Darby:
7. Recently I received a photocopy of an inked print along with a
photocopy of a latent print from [ Texas researcher]. After careful
and extended examination of the inked print photocopy and the latent
print photocopy given to me, I have their identifying characteristics
marked and numbered. The inked print is Exhibit DAN #3, and the latent
Print is Exhibit DAN #4.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.crime/k8Ji79QRyXk
And the evidence for this is.... what exactly?
From the Dallas Police Department Martin. Look it up. I did. If you deny the DPD collected a latent palm print from the 6th floor sniper's nest then by implication you are saying there was a conspiracy. Are you ready to come down off of that fence?
Tim, McClellan and Harrison gave Darby an old fingerprint of Wallace's along with an old fingerprint card with Wallace's print on it. They never gave Darby the real latent palm print from the TSBD 6th floor. It was all a fake.
Tim, I think you meant don't find people guilty or innocent?
They only determine whether there's sufficient evidence - "probable cause" - to bring charges against someone.
I do find this interesting: LBJ was a bad man therefore he killed JFK.
What did LBJ do after becoming president? He passed civil rights (two of them), a voting rights bill, a fair housing bill, poverty programs, he ended Operation Mongoose and the covert war on Cuba.....
Yes, as Caro documented in his books - and as he himself said - LBJ was a horrible, despicable person. Nobody denies that. But that is not evidence of his involvement in the assassination. Besides, he would have to have underlings pull off this act of treason. The conspiracy crowd likes to cry Hoover! and LBJ! and other awful people as if that is sufficient alone to prove their involvement. Sorry, that's not enough.
Anyway, LBJ's post assassination acts are hardly those of right wing militarists who killed JFK to promote their malevolent agenda.
You'd better send an e mail to Viewzone, Tim.
Tim I am sure at the time Darby said that, that the two prints matched. I'm not disputing that. The only latent print found in the sniper's nest was a palm print collected by the DPD. There was not a latent print of a "little finger print" found. It was all faked by McClellan and Harrison. When they gave the prints to Darby he was not told what or who the belonged to.
Translation: I am too lazy or unable to support the claims I make... Pathetic
You claimed;
which has nothing to do with what's in the DPD files or not.
Wesley, my point is that Darby wasn't given an actual print of Wallace's to compare with his known prints. He was given a photocopy of Wallace's fingerprint.
which has nothing to do with what's in the DPD files or not.
Who is being lazy? You are. Are you saying that the Dallas Police Department did not collect a "latent palm print" from the area around the 6th floor sniper's window?
No, I am saying that you make claims that you can't or won't support.
I'm not going to search the DPD files to check your claim!
This means that he can't cite any evidence. What else is new?
I'm not going to search the DPD files to check your claim!
Why not? I've researched the conspiracy buffs crap. I use to believe there was a conspiracy Martin, until more and more theories came out that conflicted. I stopped believing there was a conspiracy when I read Lifton's farce. How do you know if I can't support what I claim if you don't research it? Who is being closed minded Martin?
This has nothing to do with being closed minded. You made a claim and when I asked you to back it up, you didn't. Instead you told me to look it up for myself. I know what's in the DPD files. I have done my research, but I'll be damned if I start looking for something that you are supposed to provide but don't!
How do you know if I can't support what I claim if you don't research it?
This is the world upside down. I don't need to find out if you can support a claim or not. You need to support your claim. So, why don't you?
I know what's in the DPD files.
Good, then you know what I claimed is true. And you on other posts have made claims without supporting them. Kind of hypocritical Martin. An example Martin is on the thread where I asked "who do you believe" most of your comments if not all were all assumptions and not supported by anything. Oh, you wanted me to support why I thought Oswald lied to Fritz or why I thought Arnold was wrong. And I supported that by citing to you the statements Oswald made to Fritz and by citing that Sander's statement conflicted with Arnold. All you gave me was assumptions. Hypocritical.
Stop rambling and start making sense, please.
Thanks, I'll take that as confirmation that all you ever do is assume. ::)
Do as you please. It seems you do that anyway, regardless of what anybody tells you.
At least I say what I believe.

Why do you have NO problem with LNers making unsupported claims when you always demand that CTers back up their claims?
That's just Bill Brown desperate for a conversation that's not going to happen. He knows it, but keeps trying nevertheless.
LBJ was amazing all right. He once tied a stick of dynamite to the leg of a dog and blew it up. I can see how that could have gone horribly wrong. "No boy, no...run away, GO AWAY, NOOOOO...BOOM!
That's literally defining a psycho with that. Wow, I can't believe he put dynamite on an innocent dog.
I get the impression that some CTers will believe anything. And that some do believe this story.
At what point do stories start to be unbelievable?
Stories:
Johnson was so mean he once tied a stick of dynamite to a dog. It was only by luck that the dog ran away from him and not toward him.
Johnson was so mean he once locked himself and a kid into a small room, produced a grenade and pulled the pin. It was only by luck that the grenade malfunctioned and failed to explode.
For some people, I don?t think that point is ever reached. The more lurid the story the more believable it is.
Even this you can't get right. I am hardly a "fence walker" as you erroneously claim. My position is clear in every post that I make.
Stop spinning 🕸.

If it implicates Oswald they have this incredible - insuperable - standard of proof; if it implicates anyone else they just go with it.
Please show us the Dallas Police Department file that says that McClellan and Harrison never gave Darby the real latent palm print from the TSBD 6th floor.
Please show us the Dallas Police Department file that says that McClellan and Harrison never gave Darby the real latent palm print from the TSBD 6th floor.
Please show us where it says they did give Darby a latent palm print? Because John they gave Darby two prints that were "left little finger prints" that's why.
From the Dallas Police Department Martin. Look it up. I did.
So just because something isn't in the files, or perhaps you simply couldn't find it, in your mind, somehow becomes evidence of something not having happened?
Amazing.... simply amazing!
Btw, if you now claim something isn't in the DPD files, what exactly did you want me to look up?
Martin, I was just responding to John. John's statement about the DPD was pointless. The only unidentified latent print was a "palm print". The only prints given to Darby by McClellan and Harrison were left, little finger prints of Wallace. And they were not found in the TSBD. It was all a sham. Not many serious conspiracy people even believe the Mac Wallace\LBJ theory.
"The cartons. Using the silver nitrate method, the FBI developed nine identifiable latent fingerprints and four identifiable latent palmprints on Box A, seven identifiable fingerprints and two identifiable palmprints on Box B, and two identifiable fingerprints and one identifiable palmprint on Box C. One of the fingerprints on Box A was identified as the right index fingerprint of Lee Harvey Oswald, and one of the palmprints on Box A was identified as the left palmprint of Lee Harvey Oswald. All the remaining prints on Box A were the palmprints of R. L. Studebaker, a Dallas police officer, and Forest L. Lucy, an FBI clerk, who shipped the cartons from Dallas to the FBI Laboratory in Washington, D. C. and fingerprints of Detective Studebaker. All but one of the fingerprints on Box B belonged to Studebaker and Lucy and one palmprint was that of Studebaker. The fingerprints on Box C were those of Studebaker and Lucy and the palmprint was Studebaker's. One palmprint on Box B was unidentified."

So what? This is a public forum.
John's statement about the DPD was pointless.
It wasn't a statement. It was a question and it certainly wasn't pointless since you had told me to search the DPD files for something you knew wasn't there.

I seriously doubt that you actually know or remember what you have written on this forum...
You seem to be truly confused.
"One palmprint on Box B was unidentified." "only one latent palm print remains to be identified" (CE 3131, 26H 799, 809)
What Martin? "I seriously doubt that you actually know or remember what you have written on this forum..."
That's all you have to say? You are always asking me to cite something that most on here are already aware of. You disappoint me Martin. And here I was thinking we could be friends.
Are you saying that you don't believe McClellan and Harrison gave Darby two finger prints to analyze?
"only one latent palm print remains to be identified" (CE 3131, 26H 799, 809)
Sigh......
I'm asking you for evidence for your claim that "the only prints given to Darby by McClellan and Harrison were left, little finger prints of Wallace". Do you have any?
Are you sure about that? This seems to indicate that there was an unidentified fingerprint (print #20) on Box B.

(https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh17/pages/WH_Vol17_0171a.jpg)
There was also a fingerprint on Box A (print 29) that was labeled "insufficient characteristics", which sounds like unidentified to me.

(https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh17/pages/WH_Vol17_0166a.jpg)
The part that I bolded is not accurate. Whoever wrote that messed up. Following the footnote(123) used will lead you to CE-3131, which comes from Warren Commission Document 1507. The latter is easier to read.
"insufficient characteristics" means that it was worthless. It was not identifiable.
There are conflicting accounts about exactly how many identifiable prints there were.
- Latona testified that 20 identifiable finger prints and 8 palmprints were developed on these cartons.
- WR page 249 says a total of 25 identifiable prints were found on the 4 cartons
- CE 3131 says there were 19 identifiable latent fingerprints and six identifiable latent palm prints on the four cardboard cartons
Sounds like one of Latona's 20 identifiable finger prints turned into 19. Would that be print #20, marked "unidentifed"?
Sigh......

So much to you understanding sarcasm..
This seems to indicate that there was an unidentified fingerprint (print #20) on Box B.
Sigh.
It doesn't indicate that at all John and you know it. It does not say "unidentified" at all. It says "all but one of the fingerprints on Box B belonged to Studebaker and Lucy and one palmprint was that of Studebaker".
You are stretching it a bit there John.
John, it is not a matter of me having any evidence for that. I'm only going by what McClellan and Harrison claimed themselves. Are you saying that the two prints that Darby was given were not Wallace's? In 1998 Darby was approached by McClellan and Harrison and given two prints. One was from a 1951 fingerprint exemplar card and the other was "supposedly" a latent print from a cardboard box found on the 6th floor of the TSBD at the sniper's nest.
In Darby's March 9, 1998 affidavit Darby said they were "the left little finger". If you have a problem with that go talk to Darby.
Stretching it? Did you see the photograph of print #20 from box B with "unidentified" written on the back of it?
Did you see the photograph of print #20 from box B with "unidentified" written on the back of it?
Do you have any evidence to prove that the photo wasn't faked and that the fingerprint was not later identified? What is your evidence that that is really print #20? Do you have any evidence that, that is really box 20? ;D
Why do you say "supposedly"? I have just shown that there were at least 2 fingerprints that apparently were not identified by Latona.
I'm not talking about what Darby said -- I'm talking about what you said:
"the only prints given to Darby by McClellan and Harrison were left, little finger prints of Wallace"
Darby's affidavit doesn't say that at all. He says that he received a photocopy of an inked print along with a photocopy of a latent print. It was you who declared that they duped him by giving him two left, little finger prints of Wallace. What is your evidence for this?
Did you see the photograph of print #20 from box B with "unidentified" written on the back of it?

A LN who thinks he's clever by questioning the evidence of the WC... Now I've seen it all.
And all because Wesley can't give a straight answer if it saved his life.....
Now I've seen it all.
How do I know that you've seen it all. Do you have any evidence to prove that? :o
How do I know that you just showed that there were at least 2 fingerprints that were apparently not identified by latona? Do you have any evidence of that?
:D Are you saying the prints matched by Darby were not of Wallace's left little finger?
Now I've seen it all.
How do I know that you've seen it all. Do you have any evidence to prove that? :o
Nice try. You're the one invoking part of the WC report that contradicts another part of the WC report. And just picking the one you like better. My question is, given that it clearly states "all but one of the fingerprints on Box B belonged to Studebaker and Lucy" and there is a photo of a print from box B clearly marked "unidentified", why are you sure that the only unidentified print was a palmprint? Which passage from the same document do you believe and why?
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Take off
Wesley the troll has just devolved into a sputtering lunatic.
Wesley the troll has just devolved into a sputtering lunatic.
And you have just proved John that when you people don't get the response you want, you devolve into making insults. Well done John.
How do you know that I'm just picking the one I like better? Do you have proof of that? What is your evidence? ;D
Now, are you claiming that the two prints Darby matched are not of Wallace's left little finger? What is your evidence for that?
Stretching it? Did you see the photograph of print #20 from box B with "unidentified" written on the back of it?
Both of you morons should go back and read Latona's testimony again and this time, pay attention to what you're actually reading.
Cute. It's obvious that all you've got is a shifting the burden of proof fallacy in every aspect to this case.
First off, I stand by the fact that by the time the investigation was over the only unidentified latent print was indeed a palmprint.
Let's say I believe that there was an unidentified "fingerprint", on Box B. Are you claiming that, that print was the print that McClellan and Harrison gave to Nathan Darby and he matched it to the print from the exemplar fingerprint card?
What you "stand by" is completely irrelevant. Both the Warren Report and the WC exhibits point to at least one unidentified fingerprint on box B and a supposedly "unidentifiable" fingerprint on Box A.
You really are incapable of getting this, aren't you? You stated as a fact that "the only prints given to Darby by McClellan and Harrison were left, little finger prints of Wallace. And they were not found in the TSBD".
Stop pretending that I ever made a contrary claim. You can either support your own claim with evidence or you cannot.
And you are ducking and dodging like you always do. I stand by what I said. Are you saying that the prints given to Darby are not of Wallace's left, little finger? Yes or no. The prints Darby was given did not come from the TSBD. McClellan and Harrison did not even try their little scam until 35 years after the assassination. 35 years in which a "latent fingerprint" was never mentioned by anyone. Are you claiming that this "unidentified fingerprint" was of Wallace's finger and came from the TSBD? And if so, how did McClellan and Harrison happen to get it? Where did they get it from?
And you are ducking and dodging like you always do. I stand by what I said.
I'm not dodging anything. I don't care what you "stand by". What is your evidence for what you claimed?
"only one latent palm print remains to be identified" (CE 3131, 26H 799, 809)
At least I'm not afraid to admit what I believe. I believe Oswald acted alone. See how easy that is John. You hide behind your lame excuse of "questioning" all the evidence and by implication you are showing you believe there was a conspiracy. You and people like you don't admit to believing there was a conspiracy because you know after 54 years there is not one scrap of physical or ballistic evidence that supports any of the numerous conspiracy theories. By you questioning every little piece of evidence that was gathered and examined, from Oswald's clothes, to all of the ballistic evidence, to questioning every eyewitness's testimony, if you are right, it would have to have been a conspiracy of massive proportions.It would have had to include the Dallas Police, FBI, CIA, SS, Military, medical personnel, to all of the eyewitness's that id'ed Oswald, and more. I do this for just the entertainment of debating it. What are you hoping to get out of it John? Just curious.

I just don't get why you think that he acted alone Wesley? Even though everything that makes it lead people to believe that it wasn't just Oswald is only theories, I still just don't get why you think it was him?? Take a look at this website about the dinner the night before the assassination.
http://www.viewzone.com/lbj/lbj4.html
Alice, The evidence establishes beyond any reasonable doubt that Oswald alone assassinated Kennedy. I've yet to see any credible evidence showing that he was acting with or on behalf of others.
Alice, this is what happens if you keep repeating to yourself: "but his rifle was there"Right. Oh yeah, and then he left immediately afterward, took a bus but decided it was too slow so he went home in a taxi (not responding when the driver said "I wonder what the hell is the uproar", which he obviously knew what it was about since he had figured work was shut down for the day because of it), picked up his revolver and left quickly on foot, shot Officer Tippit for no apparent reason seconds after the officer got out of his patrol car, ran down an alley and slipped into the Texas Theater without paying, pulled his gun out when police arrested him in the theater and tried to shoot the arresting officer saying "well, its all over now".

The angle of the shots literally doesn't match. There had to of been another shooter! Malcolm Wallace was in the marines and he has killed many other people and guilty for it. He was a friend of Johnson's. How are you guys not getting this?! I know there's no "proof" that you guys want, but it literally makes perfect sense that Oswald DID NOT ACT ALONE.
Right
He had fate and Lady Luck with him
Tippit... poor dumb cop, huh. Smith, Wesson, and Lee. And I guess boys just carried guns around because that's what boys did, or something... yeah, that must be it.
The angle of the shots literally doesn't match. There had to of been another shooter!
I'm confused.
Yes, you are...
The angle? Alice, there was more than one angle for the shots. Simply stating that the angles don't match wont suffice. You're going to have to explain using numbers.
Do you really want the MB numbers or are you just brushing off Alice's argument because she's not an expert?
If it's the former, then do a simple re-enactment experiment for yourself then post your results. CTs can't demonstrate how a straight line trajectory was impossible. That's trying to prove a negative. The onus is on you LNers to show that it was possible.
I have posted several times before how laymen can demonstrate with expert precision how the SBT was feasible via a re-enactment experiment using 2 lasers pointed at each other.
(http://www.readclip.com/JFK/2lasers.jpg)
Orient yourself between the 2 lasers so that the low laser strikes your throat and the high laser strikes your back as per the (dubious) autopsy photos of JFK. We can discuss whether the photos make sense once you establish whether there was a straight line path for the MB thru JFK coming from the TSBD. But the big question is whether JFK's body orientation matched the -17 deg pitch and -7 deg yaw angles, and whether there was a straight line path thru JFK from his back to throat that missed his spine at T1.
The fact that not a single LNer has reported the results of this exp says the following:
1) They did the exp and wish they hadn't and pretend they didn't
2) They don't give a rat's ass about the truth so why do the exp?
3) They're too committed to the LNer cause to admit they're wrong whether or not they did the exp
4) Too cheap or lazy to do the exp
Otherwise, any LNers that did the exp with results that support their claims would shirley have posted them instead of the myriad of CGI graphics that tell us squat.
It's already been demonstrated how a straight line trajectory was possible.
I don't accept your opinion as being authoritative on the matter. You've claimed numerous times that this "simple two laser experiment" would settle the matter once and for all. and yet you've failed to provide us the results of your own study. Why is that?
Alice, The evidence establishes beyond any reasonable doubt that Oswald alone assassinated Kennedy.
Right.

Actually, there really isn't any evidence on which an unreasonable person could infer that Oswald assassinated JFK? And I don?t see how there could be.
What do you mean by "fate and lady luck" ??? I'm confused.
Alice hasn't really made an argument here. She made a claim and failed to provide any support for it.
BS
No, it's because you don't understand the physics, evidence, facts, proof and logic to form conclusions.
If I posted a few photos of my exp you would dismiss them for whatever reason. Rightly so, because I can't prove that the SBT was impossible. FYI, you can actually prove a negative but it is beyond the scope of this case.
So get off your cheap, lazy ass and do my laser exp!
In Bill?s mind, Oswald did it because Oswald did it.
Unlike you, I do understand the physics, evidence, facts, proof and logic to form conclusions. You are a blowhard.
That just illustrates how full of spombleprofglidnoctobuns that you truly are. You could prove that the SBT was impossible if it was in fact impossible. It's a numbers game. Either the numbers work or they don't.
Put up or shut up. Get off your cheap, lazy ass and do your own damn laser experiment yourself.
Alice, Oswald is innocent in CT opinion because he said he was.
Oswald probably did it, Alice...
It is a matter of evidence. There is evidence that shows the SBT was impossible. It is just that you don't accept that evidence.

On the evidence, the SBT did not occur. On the evidence, Oswald fired all three shots and there was no missed shots. One has to discredit the evidence to conclude otherwise.

Oswald probably did it, Alice...
Alice, no it doesn?t.
Alice, Oswald is innocent in CT opinion because he said he was.
Oswald probably did it, Alice...
But he probably didn't do it alone.
Just because someone says they're innocent doesn't mean they're innocent.
Nobody has actually ever said that Oswald is innocent because he said he was.I am not sure about that. Many CTers say that Oswald was a "patsy" and, as far as I can tell, the only evidence that he was a patsy came from Oswald himself.

It is a matter of evidence. There is evidence that shows the SBT was impossible. It is just that you don't accept that evidence.
If the witnesses who said that JFK was hit by the first shot (20+) were correct then the second shot SBT is impossible.
If the 40+ witnesses who said that the shot pattern was 1.......2...3 were correct, then the second shot SBT is impossible.
If JBC was sitting in the middle of his seat as he appears to be and if the bullet through JFK did not deflect, then the SBT was impossible at z221-223.
If JFK is already reacting at z223, as the WC concluded and as it appears to many reasonable people, then the SBT at z221-223 is not reasonably possible.
So, on the evidence I accept, the second shot SBT was not reasonably possible. But since you don't accept that evidence for what it says, you disagree.

That one is easy. JBC was NOT sitting in the middle of his seat. The ITEK analysis has him as much as 8.6 inches inboard of Kennedy.
I wasn't aware that the WC came to that conclusion. It's hard to see how they could have, since Kennedy can't be seen in Z223. Kennedy does not show a reaction until between Z225 and Z226.
...and as little as 4.2 inches. Not much help there.
Besides, Itek based this on their positions at Z183 and Z188.
Just because someone says they're innocent doesn't mean they're innocent.
As usual ,you are wrong. "As much as 8.6 inches" is quite helpful.
They also utilized stereo pairs from 183-187, and 189-193.
Some of what is tongue-in-cheek, Alice. John once accused me of believing Oswald quilty only because no other shooter could be shown.
I am not sure about that. Many CTers say that Oswald was a "patsy" and, as far as I can tell, the only evidence that he was a patsy came from Oswald himself.
It's only helpful if you can show the SBT works for 4.2 inches as well.
That's great, but do you think the single bullet happened between 183-187 or 189-193?
I believe the bullet that passed through JFK and hit JBC in the back is the one shown just behind the reenactor's right ear by the hairline.
The shot to JFK's back, apparently, did not penetrate more than an inch or two.
https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/displayimage.php?pid=1197&fullsize=1 (https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/displayimage.php?pid=1197&fullsize=1)
Wrong. The evidence - you know the stuff that you avoid -- shows that he shot no one on 11/22/63.
This doesn't mean that he couldn't have been involved in some way though.
This is one of the biggest falsehoods that LNers tell as the vast majority of CTers do not proclaim LHO to be totally innocent. We truly don't know what his true role was in the events of November 22.
Steve, that's contradictory. The bullet passed through JFK yet it only penetrated no more than an inch or two? ???
It's only helpful if you can show the SBT works for 4.2 inches as well.
Nope.
The bullet that *passed through* JFK hit him behind the right ear at the hairline, continued on a downslope, and exited near his Adams Apple and went on to strike JBC.
The bullet that *did not* pass through JFK was a separate bullet, which hit him several inches below the collar line and to the right of his spine.
Both bullet strikes are illustrated by the SS in the photo I linked to in my post.
Does that make it clearer ?
Thanks,
Steve
Ok, I see it now. Thanks for the clarification. There are some problems with that scenario, which I'm sure you are aware of.
I'm curious, what do you see as problems ?
I haven't taken the time to examine the trajectory of your upper wound but your lower bullet penetrating an inch or two doesn't seem plausible for a couple of reasons. Why would the bullet only have penetrated an inch or two and what happened to that bullet? The bullet would not have backed out even if it had only penetrated an inch. Also, there's the bruising of the apex of the right lung that will have to be explained.
Consider that Richard Lipsey was a witness to the autopsy and he gave this testimony to HSCA in 1978 in which he said, "It was obvious that one bullet entered the back of his head and exited on the right side of his face and pretty well blew away the right side of his head. And then the other two bullets had entered the lower part of his neck and the best of my knowledge, or the best of my memory, one had exited. The other bullet had entered from behind and hit his chest cavity and the bullet went down into the body."
In addition, FBI agents Sibert and O'Neill witnessed the autopsy and in their official report stated that the bullet that entered JFK's back did NOT exit his body.
The "bullet entered JFK's back and exited his throat" scenario, I would argue, is not fact. It's a *conclusion* posited by Arlen Specter. I've never been able to find any facts that Arlen Specter gave that actually supported his theory.

Lipsey says two bullets in the neck, not one in the neck and one in the back.
Tim - with apologies, I'm not following you, old boy...
Did you read all of Lipsey's testimony ?
He clearly says that:
1. The bullet that entered the lower part of the head came out the front of the neck.
2. The other bullet was not found
"LIPSEY: The bullet entered lower part of the head or upper part of the neck. [long pause] To the best of my knowledge, came out the front of the neck. But the one that I remember they spent so much time on, obviously, was the one they found did not come out. There was a bullet -- that's my vivid recollection cause that's all they talked about. For about two hours all they talked about was finding that bullet. To the rest of my recollection they found some particles but they never found the bullet -- pieces of it, trances of it. The best of my knowledge, this is one thing I definitely remember they just never found that whole bullet.
It is confusing. In the bolded text above he says 'or upper part of the neck". That is where he placed it on the diagram. However ,in the text you posted previously he says "the other two bullets had entered the lower part of his neck". That's how I got "two bullets in the neck, not one in the neck and one in the back".
Having read Lipsey's testimony many, many times...if I'm understanding him correctly:
* Bullet 1 entered/exited JFK's head creating the massive Z313 blowout
* Bullet 2 entered the base of JFK's skull at the hairline behind the right ear and exited his throat
* Bullet 3 entered JFK's lower neck/upper back and could not be traced any further
I believe Lipsey's testimony - he has no agenda.
The magic bullet entering JFK's upper back (i.e. "Lipsey's bullet 3") and exiting his throat is patently absurd and illogical.
The FBI recreation with a patch indicating a bullet entrance at JFK's hairline behind the right ear (Lipsey's Bullet 2) and a 2nd patch on JFK's upper back (Lipsey's Bullet 3) is 100% in sync with Lipsey's testimony - but had to be revised after the fact to fit the Lone Nut scenario...
Did you see where on the head that he has the bullet entering? It's way to the right, where no one else described seeing it.
He said "entered lower part of the head or upper part of the neck." If it struck the skull it would have fragmented,
That is what he was saying. I agree.
I have no doubt that Lipsey was an honest man with no agenda and that he told things as he remembered them. I just don't believe that his recollection was particularly accurate.
The single bullet entering JFK's lower neck (i.e. "Lipsey's bullet 3") and exiting his throat is neither absurd nor illogical. It works.
When was it revised and who did the revising?
Wrong. The evidence - you know the stuff that you avoid -- shows that he shot no one on 11/22/63.
This doesn't mean that he couldn't have been involved in some way though.
This is one of the biggest falsehoods that LNers tell as the vast majority of CTers do not proclaim LHO to be totally innocent. We truly don't know what his true role was in the events of November 22.
JFK was doing, and had been doing, things to powerful centers of power and that is why the list of possible conspirators is so long.
LHO was most likely involved with U.S. intelligence. His role could have been to uncover any suspicious things he was assigned to investigate or he could have joined the conspiracy. There is no way to know for sure.
The one thing we do know for sure was that he did not shoot anyone on 11/22/63 because that is what the evidence shows.
Read the twenty-six volumes of evidence. Read my "Statements That Sink The WC's Conclusions" series.
I would, but I just don't have time for that. Is there any way that you could link me to some website that has this information? Thanks in advance.
Wrong. It's helpful in that it allows me to position Connally as much as 8.6 inches inboard of Kennedy if I need to.
Z193 was about 1.6 seconds before the shot. The positions of the two would have changed very little in that small amount of time.
Agreed. But it would be helpful if you and others would give at least a reasonable amount of ground in situations where something that couldn't be concluded to a dead certainty, like not having quite enough blanket fibers, or too mangled a Walker bullet to make a definitive conclusion... yet also could not be completely dismissed.
Why would the bullet only have penetrated an inch or two and what happened to that bullet?
And there you have it. You start with the conclusion that they were wounded by a single bullet fired from the SE 6th floor window of the TSBD and you move the bodies around until the wounds (or where you assume the wounds were) sort of line up.
Another claim made without any evidence. You don't think a human body can move significantly in 2 seconds?
Show me where I ever claimed I could prove my conclusions to anyone else? And tell us why I would want to in the first place?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe it worked its way out via external cardiac massage?
What happened to the bullet from the "first missed shot" that you believe happened?
Extremely improbable.
It's missing.
Extremely improbable.
It's missing.
That's easy for you to say. So's the SBT. What happened to "I only need to show that it is possible"?
That clears it up. Then so is the bullet that penetrated JFK's back an inch or two.
???
There never was such a bullet.
Stating an assumption as a fact doesn't actually turn it into a fact.
Alice, have you read any books on the assassination? That might be the best way for you to get up to speed on the Assassination and the Tippit murder. Read two actually. One pushing conspiracy, the other not. I'd recommend Jim Marrs' "Crossfire" and Gerald Posner's "Case Closed".
The case is not closed. Even Hoover said this.
Are there free online PDF's of these books? I don't have the money to buy them.
That's a lot of Ifs.You seem to miss the point. Only ONE of the "ifs" needs to be true to negate the SBT. They ALL have to be false in order for the SBT to be possible. And then you would still need convincing evidence that it actually occurred or maybe some convincing proof of a missed shot
Quite a few of your 20+ witnesses are missing one of the three shots from their accounts. They do not account for the real first shot.??They described what JFK did in response to the first shot. No uncertainty there. Why they would have to count the shots afterward?
Not necessarily. If there was more time between shots one and two than between two and three then that just means that the first shot was earlier than is generally believed.Since there were at least 5 seconds between JFK's reaction and the head shot, the last two were not "in rapid succession"as described by dozens of witnesses, if there was no shot in between. And in order to make the 1-2 spacing noticeably longer than 2-3 the first shot would have to be well before Zapruder started filming (the Max Holland conjecture). Good luck fitting that to any evidence.
That one is easy. JBC was NOT sitting in the middle of his seat. The ITEK analysis has him as much as 8.6 inches inboard of Kennedy.That puts Connally's right armpit in front of JFK's midline. Not enough. And that was the maximum range. He could have been 4 inches inboard of the president.
I wasn't aware that the WC came to that conclusion. It's hard to see how they could have, since Kennedy can't be seen in Z223. Kennedy does not show a reaction until between Z225 and Z226.JFK's hands are seen and they are in the position that many witnesses described him assuming in response to the first shot. They are in a very different position than in z193.

Are there free online PDF's of these books? I don't have the money to buy them.
Then how did you come to your conclusions?
They don't all have to be false in order for the SBT to be possible. Nevertheless, they are all false.So let's make this clear. You are saying that:
Was Kennedy hit in the head by the second shot? Yes or no.No. The second shot nearly hit him in the head, according to George Hickey, but just lifted his hair on the right side. One or two witnesses may have thought the second shot hit him in the head (eg. John Chism) but these witnesses were never cross-examined.
If the spacing between the last two really was shorter than the first two then Holland's conjecture could be made to fit.But not in "rapid succession" (eg. SA Hickey 18H762), "quick succession" (SA McIntyre 18H747), "very close together" (Robert Jackson 2H159, Lee Bowers 6H287), "pretty close together" (Luke Mooney 3H282), "rather close together" (B R Williams 3H175), "one and one-half seconds" - "a much shorter time" (Sen. Yarborough 7H439), "real close" (Clyde Haygood, 6H298), "very quickly" (James Crawford, 6H172).
8.6 inches inboard is more than enough.The bullet was traveling from right to left at an angle of at least 9 degrees. Over the 24 inches between JFK's throat and the plane of the back of the jump seat, the bullet would have travelled left an additional 3.8 inches. According to the HSCA the wound on JBC was 20 cm or 7.9 inches from his midline. If his midline was 8.6 inches left of JFK's midline, that puts his right armpit .7 inches left of JFK's midline. It has to be another 3.1 inches farther left than that. And that is assuming the maximum distance he could have been to the left of JFK, which is your best case scenario. ITEK actually said he was probably 6.4 inches left and could have been as little as 4.2 inches left. That would make JBC too far right probably by 5.3 inches and possibly by as much as 7.5 inches.
JFK's hands cannot been seen in Z223.Right. z224.
Alice, you can waste your money if you choose, but the twenty-six volumes are online for free at:
http://www.historymatters.com
Then how did you come to your conclusions?
;)
So let's make this clear. You are saying that:
1. The witnesses (40+) who recalled that the last two shots were in rapid succession, noticeably closer than the first two, were all wrong and what they really heard was 1...2.....3 AND
2. The witnesses who heard 3 shots and said JFK reacted to the first shot, including Dave Powers, TE Moore, Linda Willis, Nellie Connally, Bobby Hargis, George Hickey, Sam Kinney, Emory Roberts, Harold Norman, Gayle Newman, and Cecil Ault, did not see what they said they saw; AND
3. The witnesses who said that the first shot was after z186/z191 were wrong even though not a single piece of evidence conflicts with their recollections. These witnesses include Hughes, Betzner, Linda Willis, Phil Willis, Mary Woodward, TE Moore, and motorcade witnesses in the VP car, VP security car as well as witnesses along Elm: Jean Newman, Billy Clay, Georgia Hendrix, Sue Dickerson, Dorothy Garner, Karan Hicks, Gloria Calvary, Karen Westbrook.
No. The second shot nearly hit him in the head, according to George Hickey, but just lifted his hair on the right side. One or two witnesses may have thought the second shot hit him in the head (eg. John Chism) but these witnesses were never cross-examined.
But not in "rapid succession" (eg. SA Hickey 18H762), "quick succession" (SA McIntyre 18H747), "very close together" (Robert Jackson 2H159, Lee Bowers 6H287), "pretty close together" (Luke Mooney 3H282), "rather close together" (B R Williams 3H175), "one and one-half seconds" - "a much shorter time" (Sen. Yarborough 7H439), "real close" (Clyde Haygood, 6H298), "very quickly" (James Crawford, 6H172).
And these witnesses all said that the difference in spacing was quite noticeable. Many said it was about 2:1. Even if it was just 1.5:1 (7.5 seconds to 5 seconds) that puts the first shot before the QM finished the turn, with the VP car just entering the intersection and the VP security car behind that on Houston. (How could the occupants of those cars be so wrong - in the same way?)
The bullet was traveling from right to left at an angle of at least 9 degrees. Over the 24 inches between JFK's throat and the plane of the back of the jump seat, the bullet would have travelled left an additional 3.8 inches.

Right. z224.
I'm saying that the 40+ witnesses who recalled that the last two shots were closer than the first two were wrong. 54 other witnesses recalled differently.
Dave Powers just says that after the first shot the President moved to the left. That?s not much of a reaction. Moore said that all three shots were spaced at regular intervals. Nellie Connally said that there was less time between the first and the second than between the second and the third. Hargis couldn't recall more than two shots. Kinney said immediately after the second shot they stepped on the gas. They never stepped on the gas until after the third shot. His second shot was really the third shot. Initially, Roberts wasn't sure whether there were two or three shots fired. A week later, he thinks he recalls three shots but didn't know if kennedy was hit in the head by the second shot or by the third shot. Norman said that the shots were evenly spaced. He placed the first shot at the same time that Williams did, right about when the President was smoothing back his hair. Gayle Newman placed the first two shots much closer together than the second and third shots. Cecil Ault said he saw the President slump after the second shot.
Hughes never specified anything about the shots. Betzner is a two shot witness. The real first shot is missing from his account. Phil Willis said that all three shots were evenly spaced. Mary Woodward said that the first shot missed. Max Holland interprets Moore's statement differently than you. He says that Moore's highway marker was to the east of the one you believe it to be. Jean Newman recalled hearing only two shots. Hendrix saw Kennedy slump on the second shot. Dickerson didn't specify when the first shot was fired. Neither did Dorothy Garner. The other three never said how many shots they heard.
Many of your witnesses were not cross examined.
Rapid succession, quick succession, and very close together are all relative descriptions. They could mean two seconds , three, four or more.
Are you sure that the HSCA placed the wound on JBC 7.9 inches from his midline? Baden's measurement was 6.5 inches from the midline. I thought that 7.5 inches would be about right. However, I think that I can still get the SBT to work with 7.9 inches from the midline.
What are his hands doing at z224?
I'm saying that the 40+ witnesses who recalled that the last two shots were closer than the first two were wrong. 54 other witnesses recalled differently.Who are the 54 witnesses? By my count, 6 said that the first two were closer and 10 thought they were about equally spaced. 45 said the last two were closer together. See my paper on the shot pattern evidence. (http://www.dufourlaw.com/JFK/shot_pattern_evidence.pdf)
Dave Powers just says that after the first shot the President moved to the left. That?s not much of a reaction.Where do you see him move to the left before z222? Where does JBC disappear from his view?
Moore said that all three shots were spaced at regular intervals.Where did you get that? Moore did not mention shot spacing in his FBI statement, which is the only statement I have found. He said he heard the first shot when the President was at the Thornton Freeway sign and he could not see the President's car when the last two shots were fired: 24H534.
Nellie Connally said that there was less time between the first and the second than between the second and the third.That is true. But she also said she did not look back after the second shot. She is looking back up to z269. So that conflicts where her impression of the shot spacing.
Hargis couldn't recall more than two shots.Sorry about that. You are right. I was going by Stuart Galanor's page which said he heard 3 shots (https://history-matters.com/analysis/witness/witnessMap/Moore.htm) but he did recall only 2. He said things happened so fast that he may not have noticed if there were another 30 shots.
So all their evidence is wrong. Thanks for making my point that one has to make excuses why their evidence could be wrong. Why did they all imagine, falsely, that JFK reacted to the first shot? Why did none of them see JFK smile and wave after the first shot? Why did so many say he was smiling and waving before the first shot?
Hughes never specified anything about the shots. Betzner is a two shot witness. The real first shot is missing from his account. Phil Willis said that all three shots were evenly spaced. Mary Woodward said that the first shot missed. Max Holland interprets Moore's statement differently than you. He says that Moore's highway marker was to the east of the one you believe it to be. Jean Newman recalled hearing only two shots. Hendrix saw Kennedy slump on the second shot. Dickerson didn't specify when the first shot was fired. Neither did Dorothy Garner. The other three never said how many shots they heard.
Rapid succession, quick succession, and very close together are all relative descriptions. They could mean two seconds , three, four or more.?? Not likely. The spacing was described by Charles Brehm, who had experience with guns, that the three shots "were fired just about as quickly as an individual can manouver a bolt-action rifle" (22H837). Do you think 7.5 seconds and 5 seconds fits that description? How about 4 and 2.3?

It was something that Dave Reitzes had posted on McAdams' forum. For the life of me, I cannot find it this evening. His compilation numbers were: 15 placed the first two shots closer together, 39 said that they were all evenly spaced , and 58 said that the last two were closer together.I can guarantee you that those numbers are wrong. I looked at every witness who heard the shots and i found only 6 who heard 1...2.....3 and 9 who said they were about equally-spaced. Over 40 recalled 1.......2....3 and many of those said volunteered that last two shots were in rapid succession/close together. In addition, there are witnesses who put the second shot around z270, such as Altgens, Nellie C., SA George Hickey, and SA Wm. Greer.
Powers is a first shot hit witness.You are relying on an interview made 30 years afterward?!!
Larry Sneed, in No More Silence, quoted Moore as saying "I feel sure that there were three shots and they spaced at regular intervals."
I don't see how I made your point. Clearly you've misread what I said. Why did approximately 40 witnesses report seeing the limo stop?We have gone over this before. In fact, there were only 8 witnesses who said the limo stopped. 19 said it slowed but did not stop and another 20 gave ambiguous statements about whether it stopped or slowed. See my analysis here (http://www.dufourlaw.com/JFK/Palamara_analysed_am.pdf).
....You are still going to be 2.5 inches out and probably 4.8 inches out and possibly as much as 7 inches out.
Previously, I believed that the terms medial and lateral were mistakenly reversed by Baden. However, I now realize that "The lateral border is 6 inches to the right of the midline of the back" was really meant to be "The lateral border is 8 inches to the right of the midline of the back." That would place the midpoint of the 1 1/8" long scar at 7.5 inches to the right of the midline.
What was that exactly? The hands drop between Z224 AND Z225. I don't recall Nellie describing seeing that.The hands stay in roughly that position for a while (going by memory). The impression of many was that he was clutching at his throat.

You make my point by arguing that the witnesses did not observe what they said they observed. Your argument that they were wrong is not evidence that they observed what you suggest. The statistical significance of the consistent observations of the "first shot hit", "first shot after z191" and "second shot close to third shot" witnesses is impossible to explain as random error. You need collusion of all those witnesses to explain how they all got their observations wrong in the same way.

Found it:Thanks for the link. I will study it further but a few comments:

I count 15 in that who said that the first two shots were closer together. I would add Karen Westbrook to that number. In her recent interview with Stephen Fagin of the Sixth Floor Museum, she said that the first two shots were closer together.
Again, I don't understand how my pointing out that witnesses were wrong makes your point. It does just the opposite.The point I was making is that you need to do that to support the SBT. One does not have to point to any body of evidence being wrong in order to support the 3 shot, 3 hit, one shooter conclusion.
- A lateral angle of 9 to 10.5 degrees.
- The bullet struck Kennedy at 2 inches to the right of his midline.
- the distance that the bullet travelled through Kennedy's neck was 6.5 inches
- The straight on (shortest) distance from the front of Kennedy's neck to Connally's back was about 24 inches.
- Connally was recessed further into the car than Kennedy 6.4 +/- 2.2 inches -- pages 43 - 47 of "John Kennedy Assassination Film Analysis", ITEK corporation, May 2, 1976
- The thickness of Connally's torso, from the very back of his spine to the front of his sternum, was about 9 inches.
- Connally's torso was rotated to the right by 30 degrees. (HSCA Appendix to Hearings - Volume VI, "The Trajectory Analysis", prepared under the direction of Thomas N. Canning, with the assistance of Clyde C. Snow and C.S. McCamy.)
At z224, his hands are not at his neck.
Even with a 12 degree angle (2 inches right of his midline), how did the MB travel thru JFK's spine and exit nose first then in 24 inches tumble into Connally?It is not that difficult to re-create the positions of the car and occupants using the zfilm and using an accurate model of the limo. From the SN, the angle to the car direction at z195 was about 13.5 degrees. At z224 it was 9 degrees. The separation between JFK and JBC was about 24 inches. The wound in JBC's right armpit was 20 cm or 7.9 inches from his midline. The exit wound in JFK's throat was .5 cm left of his (JFK's) midline.
Was Connally's body in the correct position at z224 to receive all the MB wounds?No. His body was never in a position to receive all the wounds. Besides, James Tague said he was struck by something on the second shot. That bullet was not CE399.

The wound in JBC's right armpit was 20 cm or 7.9 inches from his midline. The exit wound in JFK's throat was .5 cm left of his (JFK's) midline.
Do the math. The bullet traveling in a straight line from JFK's exit wound on a 9 degree angle will travel 3.8 inches or 9.5 cm farther left before it strikes JBC. So for the bullet to strike JBC's right armpit, his right armpit had to be 10 cm farther left than JFK's midline. So JBC's midline had to be about 30 cm farther left than JFK. Even if his shoulders were turned quite a bit more than he appears to be turned in z225 and even if he was sitting 21 cm inboard of JFK (ITEK said it was probably 10.7 cm and that puts him right in the middle of the jump seat), that is not enough. And that assumes the shot was at z225, an assumption that conflicts with a lot of consistent evidence.
That's the T1 vertebrae.The single bullet passed above that level. You need to find an image of C7. Also keep in mind that Kennedy's torso was rotated about 5 degrees to the right and his head was turned about 60 degrees to the right. With a lateral angle of 9 degrees the bullet would have exited Kennedy about 1 inch to the right of his midline.
Yes it was.

Nope, you just don't get it. The angle I posted was based on the autopsy photo and your contention that the back wound was 2 inches right of the spine. The bullet's trajectory gives us JFK's body position. You have to live with this angle, which is untenable, but fill your boots.
You got an angle of 12 degrees from looking at an autopsy photo? Really? Which one? How exactly did you come up with 12 degrees? Did you not understand what I posted?
The image that you posted was an axial view of T1. The single bullet passed through above the level of T1. Find an axial view of a C7 image and then try to make a case.
Lame! 2 inches right of the spine. :D
Right. 2 inches to the right of the spine. However, that alone doesn't give us the lateral angle of trajectory.
It sure as hell does. It gives us the EXACT lateral (pitch) angle of trajectory. We just need to determine where JFK was on Elm relative to the SN when the MB struck him.
It sure as hell does not. On its own, it tells us nothing at all about the lateral angle of trajectory.
Are you serial? Admit it, you don't know what you're talking about, do you?
Humes says the back wound was 2" right of the spine. According to SBT, this bullet then exited midline in the neck. That's 2" displacement for about 6" forward. By the time it moves 24" more, to the plane of Connally's back, it should have displaced 8" to the left of JFK's neck. In my opinion, there is no way this could hit Connally on the right side.
According to SBT, this bullet then exited midline in the neck.
Going Ballistic
Pretty sure a bullet starts to drop the moment it exits the barrel. It's called gravity.. plus air density, temperature, and wind have an effect on the flight of the bullet.
Seems the guy on the whoopee cushion is, ironically, a fine representation of yet another CTer lame attempt to prove this, that, and the other.
At least he makes an attempt to prove something, much unlike yourself, who only offers opinions.
Jack, why don't you, as our resident physicist/photogammatrist, explain to the rest of us here how the entry wound being 2 inches to the right of the spine gives the EXACT lateral (pitch) angle of trajectory? Go ahead and dazzle us.
It doesn't give us the pitch of the MB trajectory, but it does give us JFK's orientation when he was struck by the (cough cough) MB.
We know the pitch of the MB thru geometry (and not "photogammetry", whatever that is) and the position of the limo at frame z224 relative to the SN. The pitch angle was -7 degrees. Since the angle thru JFK was say >12 degrees (2 inches right of his spine) we know that JFK had to be turned to his RIGHT 5 degrees relative to the limo to form a -12 degree bullet trajectory from his back to his throat. This was clearly not the case so what do you propose resolves this discrepancy?

Show me where I said I could prove anything here. And tell us why you need people to prove something to you.
It seems to me that you characters are the ones casting opinions around. If you have a problem with gravity, maybe read what Newton's and Einstein's opinions are on the subject.
How does it give JFK's orientation when he was struck by the single bullet?
You're not making any sense at all.
The bullet does not automatically start to rotate when it exits a human body. A bullet tumbles in response to interacting with a solid object such as bone that deflects its trajectory. It does not deflect appreciably when it transitions from one medium to another such as flesh to air or water to air, etc. It certainly doesn't rotate appreciably within a couple of feet of exiting the body.
Otherwise, a bullet follows a parabolic path like anything else under gravity. The mussel velocity defines the parabolic arc of a projectile, which is insignificant over a hundred feet and has nothing to do with a tumbling bullet.
Re-read my post and start thinking photogammetrically. ;)
Using an ortho-map overhead of Elm, draw a line from the SN to the limo at frame z224. What's that angle? Now take the supposed angle of the MB thru JFK and reconcile the 2.
Where did I address bullet tumble in my post? I'm questioning your use of a laser beam which of course is not affected by wind, air temperature, air density or gravity as is a bullet in flight. At that distance it might only be a barely noticeable drop (as I understand it, nevertheless one is talking fractions here. My research is talking 200-300 yards downrange and beyond.
I might be getting the wrong idea about what you say you are proving.
Re tumble, I understand Carcano rifling grabs that ammo near the front rather than the back, thereby providing a very stable bullet in flight.
Nope. You're going to have to show it or explain it.
(https://i.imgur.com/dg0Li4j.png)
I used the Robert West Survey of 1964. Measuring from the SN to the limo, I get a lateral angle of 9 degrees. I don't know what you mean by "reconcile the 2". What exactly is there to reconcile?
If so, then put the limo with occupants into the scene and line everything up with a shot 2 inches to the right of the spine at T1 and out the throat at C7,
then into the right side of Connally,
into his wrist, then his thigh
then ending up on the wrong stretcher.
Why should I do that? I already told you that the bullet entered above the level of T1.
I already did.
You're making ridiculous requests. The bullet took a curved path through Connally. Who could possibly say exactly what that path was? Certainly not me,
What for? Why would I put it on the wrong stretcher?
Just throwing out pearls. :D
That is false.Mr. Specter: Assuming some factors in addition to those which you personally observed, Dr. Baxter, what would your opinion be if these additional facts were present: First, the President had a bullet wound of entry on the right posterior thorax just above the upper border of the Scapula with the wound measuring 7 by 4 mm. in oval shape, being 14 cm. from the tip of the right acromion process and 14 cm. below the tip of the right mastoid process--assume this is the set of facts, that the wound Just described was caused by a 6.5 mm bullet shot from approximately 160 to 250 feet away from the President, from a weapon having a muzzle velocity of approximately 2,000 feet per second, assuming as a third factor that the bullet passed through the President's body, going in between the strap muscles of the shoulder without violating the pleura space and exited at a point in the midline of the neck, would the hole which you saw on the President's throat be consistent with an exit point, assuming the factors which I have Just given to you?
