Dans Z224 1st shot sequence fits better than any other of the LN 1st shot miss sequences with a 3rd shot that could possibly have hit the manhole cover. It’s an unaimed shot 2 secs after Z313. If it’s possible a lead fragment separated from the copper jacket and flew across the green to strike the curb near Tague, then that fragment was probably traveling at least 1500ft/ sec which would have been enough to cause some concrete debris from the curb causing Tagues cheek wound. It fits closer with Norman’s shot spacing and with Tagues recollection ( he said it was the 2nd OR the 3rd shot). And 4.8 secs then 2 secs is lot closer to the 75%witness heard shot pattern of 1… 2.3 than any LN Z140 thru Z170 1st shot missed sequence that is 9-10secs in duration.
Andrew’s Z190-Z270-Z313 sequence is the only other LN proposal but where in there could the manhole cover have been hit?
The amount of evidence demonstrating that the first shot passed through both men at z222/z223 is ridiculous. Anyone who genuinely accepts the weight of evidence can come to no other conclusion.
Once accepted there is little choice but to have the headshot as the second shot followed by a third, missed shot.
In reality, the first shot was a miss in that the target was the head and the shot missed low, passing through JFK's neck. Luckily for the shooter JFK stayed in an upright position as he took his time to line up the fatal headshot. I assume the shooter had already decided he was going to take a third shot, which is why it followed so closely behind the second shot, but why did it miss so wildly?
I suspect the shooter pulled the shot high due to the sudden arrival of Clint Hill on the back of the limo.
