I don't know why I overlooked this before but Oswald was not firing downward at 60 to 70 degrees at the time the single bullet struck. At Z225, the closest exhibit to the time the single bullet struck, the angle to the rifle was 20 degrees. That would mean the slope on JFK's back would only have to be greater than 20 degrees to create an upward angle of entry. Since the area above the shoulder blades already has a natural slope to it even whan a person is sitting or standing perfectly upright. Due to JFK's bad back, he would tend to hunch his back slightly to relieve pressure on his spine. He would not have to be leaning or hunching over much to create a greater than 20 degree slope in his back.

It is even less than 20 degrees because of the 3 degree downward slope of Elm St.  According to CE884 the downward angle from the horizontal of the line from rifle to JFK at z222 was 20.38 degrees (20° 23’) so the angle was effectively less than 18°.

Here is Ruth's view (from "Mrs. Paine's Garage").

All of your beliefs strain credulity.
I am not suggesting that Bugliosi was right in concluding that JFK was struck around z210. I was just suggesting that his comments about Lattimer’s theory are persuasive.  So it is Bugliosi’s reasoning that JFK was hit around z210 which appears to strain credulity for you.

From my readings it was the Secret Service who told Marina to keep away from the Paines not the FBI. Remember, they were the one in charge of protecting Marina and the children. Maybe FBI agents said so too?

Priscilla McMillan goes over the estrangement in "Marina and Lee" (excerpt below). Robert Oswald was very upset with the Paines, thought they were dishonest - he believe they lied about not knowing Oswald's rifle was in their garage - and he told Marina his feelings about them, that she shouldn't trust them. Marguerite didn't like them either. And Ruth discusses the question in the very good Mallon book.



And the Walker incident apparently angered Marina. She blamed Ruth for it.

Couldn't live with the shame.

My guess is that the FBI made her do it by threatening to send her back to Russia.

You guys scoff at the SBT as requiring a magic bullet, then try and tell us there was a magic shooter who disappeared into thin air after firing the kill shot from behind the wooden fence.

All it would take for a shooter to disappear "into thin air" as you say, is for the shooter to be wearing a police uniform - either dressed to look like one, with false credentials - or actually an officer of the law and part of a larger conspiracy that included rogue law enforcement officials...

This person seated behind the bridge/overpass with a police uniform, is in the very best place to shoot the president... the target is coming toward him, the target is slowing thanks to Bill "Rubbernecking" Greer, and he is fairly hidden...

The assassination researcher Barb Junkarrein addressed the question of the "hole through the windshield" and specifically whether Altgens 6 shows a hole here:

https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/14532-barb-junkkarinens-articlea-hole-through-the-windshield/

Key graf: "Good copies of the Altgens photo show it [i.e., the alleged hole or "spiral nebula" crack] to be not a feature of the windshield. Rather it is a pattern formed by the gathering of fabric in the dress of a woman spectator standing in the background. The Altgens #6 photo demonstrates that the limousine windshield is not damaged at Zapruder frame 255.

Already posted (and predictably ignored by MTG).

If you look carefully at a good copy of Altgens 6, you'll see the complete right edge of the rearview mirror, unbroken, along the left side of the alleged "windshield damage." In fact, the right side of the "damage" is bounded by the mirror on the left and by JFK's shoulder on along the bottom. The only way that could happen is if the mirror and JFK were in the foreground with respect to the "windshield damage." Therefore, whatever the alleged damage is, it's in the background behind the mirror. It's not on the windshield at all. This destroys the idea that the windshield damage occurred before frame 255.

To suggest that MTG would ever violate his loyalty oath to Fetzer and his collaborators is like asking a zebra to alter its stripes. The likelihood is negligible.
