The Single-Bullet-Theory Elephant

If CE399 was planted at Parkland hospital, then why did they plant a bullet that had been fired into cotton wadding and not plant a half mangled bullet instead?

A half mangled bullet would be more plausible as having passed through one or both of the victims (JFK and John Connolly) and would at the same time still be forensically readable so as to be traced back to Oswalds rifle which would have been planted on the 6th floor to frame Oswald.

The elephant in the room here is if CE399 was planted, shouldn't they have planted a more plausible bullet?

So what you're saying is that it's not plausible that CE399 went through one or two people?

How is ammo designed to pass through-and-through a body not plausible?

And that CE 399 was planted?
There needed to be 'evidence' that the 6th floor rifle had been fired at the president.
A mangled bullet might not have been sufficient.
Furthermore...if a $19.95 rifle could be so accurate and deadly...then why are snipers equipped with thousand dollar ones?

Full Metal Jacket bullets are most often used for target practice and are not designed to expand and therefore have a decent chance of passing right through someone unless they hit heavy bone ….google

Just because a bullet passes through a body...doesn't mean it won't get damaged even after hitting smaller bones re JBC. But then we really know that huh?

How could whoever 'planted' CE 399 know how much damage it was meant to inflict. If it had passed through without striking bone wouldn't people be up in arms about a mangled bullet?

What difference would it make?

If we've learned anything, it is this:  pointing out inconsistent evidence to LNers doesn't do a single bit of good.

You'd think the planters would have fired the bullet into something harder than cotton wadding in order to get a bullet that looked like it had actually travelled through someones body.

The whole controversy with the single bullet theory is not that it could travel through two bodies, but that it could come out the other end so pristine.

This is Dr. Cyril Wecht's favourite piece of evidence.
As I understand it the bullet on the far right has been fired through the wrist of a cadaver. This is the closest the WC could come to a 'pristine' bullet that had passed through a wrisbone.



@1:04:10 Wecht gets into it.
