But we also know that there were some real problem areas with some of the evidence. Most specifically, 1) the magic bullet, that really couldn't have taken the bizarre path the Commission had to invent in order to keep it to a lone shooter. 2) And the fact that this same magic bullet turned up intact at the hospital, and was not missing the fragments that were still in Conneley's body. 3) It is a really tortured logic to try to prove that the final shot did not enter the front and exit the back of JFK's head. 4) And the timing between the second and third shots seems extremely improbable for the gun in question. There are many other items in question, but those are the the big ones that really require a suspension of disbelief in order to accept the Warren theory as full and complete.
The real problem here is that If any of those 4 items is not plausible -- any one of them -- then we are no longer talking about a lone gunman. And that immediately means that this is a MUCH nastier situation. So the Warren Commission had to fight like crazy to make those 4 points stick, and then lock up crucial evidence for 75 or even 100 years.
If any one of those 4 crucial points is wrong, then the Warren Commission told us only 5% of the whole story.
