Tech puts JFK conspiracy theories to rest - Discovery.com

A team of experts assembled by the Discovery Channel has recreated the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Using modern blood spatter analysis, new artificial human body surrogates, and 3-D computer simulations, the team determined that the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository was the most likely origin of the shot that killed the 35th president of the United States.

I still don't believe it. At the time Kennedy was first shot Connally was still smiling holding his white Stetson. How could that be if he was supposed to have a shattered wrist? The wound in his back was just that in his back and not the back of his neck as the Warren Ommision said. The autopsy at Bethesda said this as did the evidence from his jacket and shirt he was wearing. He was shot in the back and it came out his throat. The single bullet theory and the lone assassin fiction are only possible if we believe all shots came from the window.

Was Connolly still holding his hat? I would have to see the Zapruder film again

The video evidence is overwhelming. Taken frame by frame and digitally removing the car shows how it WAS from the single bullet, timewise. As to magical, no magic to it. That subsonic bullet was designed to behave just like that and on a re-enactment actually was almost precisely duplicated. Taking the wounds and aligning them with the position via timeframe and you can trace the path directly back to the school book depository and to the window. Sorry, this conspiracy theory is utterly debunked. Such a cult-of-personality important figure being taken out by a nutjob is sad, but is the truth.

Technology has a way with these things. I watched this and it was pretty compelling, they showed just how plausible and realistic it was.

If i recall, The Discovery Channel did a live ballistics test on this already and confirmed the 6th floor book despository shot was the sourse.

I saw this one, I think.
I've seen two versions of this 'new' evidence already. Could've been the same one on two different occasions.

Anywhoz, I came away absolutely convinced.

just going from memory, it seems to me that Connolly started to wince when JFK was hit.

I think Oswald did it, but was he working for someone? and who?

Jack Ruby shooting Oswald seemed to convenient...that's the smoking gun...IMO

The show I watched delved into both these guys' pasts.
Pretty much, Oswald wanted to get commies to notice him since they had blown him off for the most part. Ruby was a self-important strip-club owner who craved respect and thought he'd be a hero instead of just another criminal. He spent alot of time around the cops, so his being there didn't raise the alarms it should have.

Two nutjobs, in other words.

Yea...I'm just not completely convinced Oswald was working on his own, but on the same hand I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

I just don't remember a good case for Ruby even caring about Kennedy...but it's been awhile since I've read anything.

But, the point remains that many of Oswald's army "buddies" attested he couldn't shoot the boadside of a barn from ten feet away. His nickname was "Shitbird". How he pulled off a one in a million shot is beyond me.
