In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]AntiFascist
(12,792 posts)1.) First of all, I'm not claiming to know the absolute truth, I'm merely supporting favored theories.
2.) In fact, I even pointed out elsewhere that the single bullet theory could be plausible if it was fired by a more powerful, high-powered rifle using a silencer from the Dal-Tex building:
a) Both the vertical and horizontal angle of approach would make more sense.
b) This would explain why some shots sounded only like firecrackers (when hitting pavement) or were not as noticeable when they were fired (as was the bullet hitting JFK's back).
c) The bullet entering and exiting so much human tissue would be more believable.
d) The use of a silencer could explain why the first shot(s) was off so much, and the second shot was closer to the mark.
3.) A copy of the Zapruder film was in fact altered by Zapruder himself, if you analyze the history, where he had spliced out a frame that he felt should not have been made public, then later the frame was put back in. The FBI claims that a printing error caused two frames to be out of order in one of their copies. There were many different copies of copies floating around before the complete film was ever made public, and originally there were at least 3 first generation copies made.
4.) There is documented evidence of mishandling of autopsy photos and x-rays used at the HSCA investigation. I'm not citing that the original autopsy was somehow faked, only that the conclusions drawn were not supported, and that the scalp being intact may have led some investigators to conclude that the skull underneath was also intact.
