(21,786 posts)bullet fragments recovered from Connally that match those fired from Oswald's rifle (and no others) and match CE399, the so-called "magic bullet" (which wasn't magic at all but behaved precisely as one would expect a full-metal-jacketed military round to behave). So you have Oswald, who owned the rifle that fired the bullets that struck Kennedy and Connally, and the handgun that killed Patrolman JD Tippit. Who was photographed with those weapons by his wife, in his back yard. Who had a history of unstable and violent behaviour, and who had shot at General Edwin Walker not too long before this. There's physical evidence linking Oswald to the crime through his weapons; circumstantial evidence in his transporting "curtain rods", in his leaving the book depository, in his shooting a policeman. And on the other side? There's no physical evidence linking anyone else, or any other weapons, to the assassination; nothing but a lot of speculation involving Cubans, the Mafia, Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, the FBI, white supremacists, Birchers, and a cast of thousands. (None of which stands up to any serious scrutiny.)
