Vincent Bugliosi's book Reclaiming History addresses every criticism leveled at the WCR (at least the ones invented up to the time his book was published)_ He does a thorough job of demolishing every one of them. There are two absolute truths of the JFKA. One is the evidence is overwhelming that Oswald fired the shots that killed JFK and seriously wounded JBC. The other is there is no credible evidence he had even a single accomplice in the crime. Since CTs have no evidence, their only avenue to establishing a conspiracy is to tear down the findings of the WC rather than present any positive evidence there was a conspiracy. If people applied as much skepticism to criticisms of the WCR as they do to the WCR, there would be a lot fewer CTs. 

To paraphrase Yogi Berra, if people don't want to believe the WCR, nothing is going to stop them.

The predicament for people like me is that there is no neutral ground to dwell on; one either qualifies as a LN or a CT, an objective, open minded approach is very hard to maintain. Yes, I am critical of the Report but also of many of the conspiracy books.

The 'overwhelming evidence' you say convinced you that Oswald assassinated the President hasn't convinced me. At least not completely. The unfortunate fact that the Dallas police allowed the suspect to get lynched prevented a trial, during which many of the questions I have could have been cleared up.

Take for instance Oswald's supposed motive. If I remember correctly, the Warren Commission stated that Oswald resented all authority and wanted to make a name for himself and go down in history like John Wilkes Booth. I am unfamiliar with any evidence that proves this supposition.
Wouldn't it be odd for an individual who disliked authority to try to gain entry into the USSR via Cuba, where the authority of the government(s) is a major element of the organization of the state and part of everyday life of the citizens?

Another issue that puzzles me is the fact that Oswald himself, during his interrogation, and his acquaintances told the law enforcement officials that he liked President Kennedy. The various (would-be) assassins that tried to kill President Trump have not, to my knowledge, made similar statements - the same goes for the creepy weirdo who shot Charlie Kirk.

An angle that was explored in a documentary on the Discovery Channel was the 'Cuban connection.' This story first popped up out of Mexico City right after the assassination. A red-headed Negro supposedly handed Oswald $6000 to eliminate the President. I think the evidence for this is flimsy if non-existent, but the Discovery Channel reinvigorated the story, albeit based on different 'evidence.'

   Do the research and THEN we can discuss it. What you might have missed, not seen, not have heard, is unimportant to the current discussion we are having. Had you previously noticed that the Car was NOT on the Wiegman Film? Had you heard anyone even mention it? There is a lot of JFK Assassination virgin ground to research and discuss. But first, You need to open your mind.

I wouldn't call the things you think are important that nobody else does "virgin ground". I also don't know what that has to do with the blood and brain splatter and the Newmans.

He wasn't facing Oswald.  His head was turned about 90 degrees to this shoulders and his shoulders were turned 90 degrees to the car forward direction.  He was turned sideways in the car, not backward.  When the shoulders turn the shoulder blade or scapula moves back exposing more of the armpit, which is where JBC was struck. There is no problem with a bullet going from just right of the right edge of the right scapula and striking the fifth rib, deflecting right a bit and exiting under the right nipple.

Why don't you illustrate? Oh, wait. You can't. Never mind.

You continue to avoid the elephant in the room. Your theory is impossible due to JBC's position at Z271. Since you can't illustrate how JBC could be shot in the back while facing Oswald, nothing else matters. If you can't do that, and it's obvious you can't, there's no point in discussing any other aspect of your FUBAR theory. I don't even bother to read what you post anymore.

I'm not sure whose image is in the window... but this is likely how the person was positioned at the window...

You neglect the fact that before the headshot struck, JFK was leaning hard to his left. The would turn his temple upward facilitating ejection of blood and brain upward and forward. It also would make it less likely for splatter to go down and to the right.

I haven't seen the clip of the Newman's laying on the ground recently. The next time I do, I will check to see if there are signs of blood splatter. I don't recall either of the Newman's saying they were splattered by drops of blood. I would think that is something they would have mentioned when interviewed on TV a short time later. I also think I would have remembered it had they mentioned it.

    On the Current Z Film, we see a gusher of blood/brain matter BLOWING OUT of JFK's (R) temple area. I believe you need to view a better definition copy of the Current Zapruder Film. There's plenty of crappola coming out of the (R) temple area. "MOST of the splatter went upward and forward......"? Most = 51%. That leaves plenty of blood/brain matter to be expelled to the (R) side/gunshot side of the JFK Limo. That mess would have landed inside the (R) side of the backseat and/or onto Elm St. If you look at hi def images showing the Newman family laying on the ground, you can see RED Splotches of blood/brain matter on the grass around them.

More of Royell Storing's pointless speculation about how things "should" have happened.. since when are you an expert in blood spatter?

In order for any of the splatter to end up on the right side of the back seat, it would have had to go almost straight down from the back of the head wound. It is not surprising at all that did not happen. There was a small amount of discharge to the year which landed on the trunk according to Clint Hill and Jackie was reaching for a piece of his head that landed on the trunk. Most of the splatter went upward and forward as can be seen in Z313. JBC said the middle seat section was showered with bits of brain which JBC described as being the size of his thumb.

Spoken like a true narrow minded and condescending LN.
The time for being open minded about Oswald's innocence expired a long time ago. He was the assassin as the evidence clearly proves.

There are many researchers that have "educated themselves" and have come to the conclusion that there is overwhelming reasonable doubt.
My experience has been those are people who are really, really bad at weighing evidence.

I have "educated myself" enough to conclude that LHO never fired a shot on November 22, 1963.
Case in point.

And I didn't need the "myriad conpiracy books" (sic) or Oliver Stone's JFK to do so.  There is plenty of evidence that proves as much.
Such as?

However, it could never be accepted by the LN that soley relies on their own "Textus Receptus" (i.e. the WC) or Bugliosi's thinly argued 53 points  of which all have been argued against throughout this forum (at least it was prior to the forum reset).
The WC got it right from the start. It has made far more sense than any conspiracy book I've read or all the arguments I've read online over the past 35 years combined. Bugliosi's book was an affirmation of the WCR, swatting down all the silly alternative theories that had been made up to that point.
