(6,944 posts)Dad never believed the whole 'lone nut with a gun' thing, either. He did believe that Oswald was a gunman, just not the only gunman.
Dad said that it was clear that President Kennedy's head wound was caused by a frangible bullet, while Oswald's bullets were all jacketed. Given the description of the head wound by the doctors at Parkland Hospital-- descriptions he believed were entirely accurate-- he maintained that from both an objective forensic and a ballistic analysis, President Kennedy was shot from behind by a person using a frangible bullet. By applying Occam's Theorem to the available evidence, he concluded that the Secret Service was likely responsible for the fatal wound, whether by accident or as part of a conspiracy. In either case, if what he concluded was in fact correct, it would explain the Secret Service's behavior at Parkland, when they basically stole President Kennedy's body, as well as any 'changes' to the head wound that were observed by Dr. Hume, et al, at Bethesda.
