I don't think the bullet in question (CE 399) 'smashed through' any bone. At most, it glanced off Connally's wrist bone and for the remainder of its journey travelled through soft tissue. There are pictures of the bullet from other angles that show that it is not in the pristine condition your photo shows it but again I'm not sure how to find those photos on the internet.
At the risk of pulling a Frist, I think it restores your faith in the universe to have your prince killed by some nefarious conspiracy, rather than a single lone crackpot with a mail-order gun. Lee Harvey Oswald as the sole, non-conspiratorial assassin of JFK is certainly not Shakespearean. Were JFK assassinated by some high conspiracy, at least such a conspiracy would give JFK's death some meaning, some way to counter the incredibly absurd sadness (or maybe 'incredibly sad absurdity') of a life full of promise ripped away while still in full bloom. It offends my sense of propriety too. But I insist upon evidence and there is overwhelming evidence that LHO acted and acted alone.
