That's a lie. A first shot miss was one of the four scenarios the WC offered in its report. Those four scenarios were a first shot miss, a second shot miss, a third shot miss, and a two shot scenario with no misses. The WC didn't play favorites with those scenarios. It left it up to the reader to decide which one they found to be most plausible.

I originally read the WC when it first came out and I was in 8th grade. I read a good chunk of it although I didn't get much into the appendices. I didn't give a lot of thought to the possibilities when I first read it and by the time I got interested again in the subject sometime in the 1980s, I had forgotten many of the details. By that time, I had bought into the myth that the WC had concluded the second shot missed and the 3 shots had been fired in no more than 5.6 seconds. I was flabbergasted and a little pissed off when I re-read the WC for the first time in 25 years and saw that they had never concluded that, only that it was a possibility. I was pissed because I realized I had been duped, by Walter Cronkite of all people. He ceased being the Most Trusted Man in America in my eyes when I made that discovery. Now I don't trust any of the network anchors. I've ceased even watching the nightly network news programs.

Why the hell would they do that?

Jerry, I started this thread to confirm no one wants to go near the proof I posted that Priscilla was an official, covert face presented to the Soviet
defectors such as LHO, his wife, and Stalin's daughter and her assignments indicate US gov indifference whether the surveillance subjects were coming to or going from the USSR. Her side gig was pumping, manipulating, and bottling Marina, summer 1964 until 1978.

My experience in these forums is posters claim they are truth seekers but run from actually appraising it when it is presented to them.
Confirmation bias is not fact finding. Tague was irrelevant in June, 1964 because he offered more salesman than substance. He objected with, "hey! look at me!" Didn't he?

Mrs. Cabell did not describe much delay between hearing the shot and seeing the rifle. She said the first shot sounded as the car began its turn at the intersection.  She said she was facing the TSBD and upon hearing the first shot looked directly up and saw the rifle. The Cabell car is behind the VP security car and it has yet to appear at the intersection when the zfilm last shows the intersection at z193.
