Single Bullet Theory

to be inaccurate. There were a few centimeters of difference between the drawing of the bullet wound on the back of Kennedy’s neck compared to the picture taken at Parkland Hospital. What was believed to be an exit wound on the back of Kennedy’s neck by the Parkland staff was later determined to be an entrance wound by Bethesda (McAdams “The Medical Evidence” 1). This contradiction implies that the government was attempting to cover up the fact that the gunshots came from in front of the car opposed to behind it where Oswald was alleged stationed (McAdams “The Medical Evidence” 6). The Single Bullet Theory states that President Kennedy and Governor Connally were both struck by the same bullet. This bullet supposedly passed through Kennedy’s …show more content…
The rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and the rifle that Oswald owned bore the same serial number: C2766. However, there were many manufacturers that manufactured the weapon, so the serial numbers were repeated on more than one occasion. That being said, it is impossible to prove that Oswald’s weapon and the sixth floor weapon were the same. Oswald, according to the Warren Commission, carried the weapon into work that day concealed in a paper bag wrapping.

At this time, Oswald was already on the sixth floor according …show more content…

On the sixth floor, a map was found that showed the new path of the motorcade and a bullet trajectory. Obviously, this took some time to plan, even though only a few people knew of the change in path (Russell 3). How could Oswald have possibly known of this alteration unless he was being framed or someone clued him in? After the first shot was fired, the Secret Service agent that was driving the car came to a complete stop and sped off after the fatal headshot was delivered. The Secret Service proceeded to remove every scrap of evidence from the car immediately (Russell 3). A lady who was taking pictures of the motorcade had the Texas School Book Depository in the frame. The Secret Service confiscated the film and never publically released it. This could be because Lee Harvey Oswald was not the person in the sixth floor window (Russel 4). Jack Ruby was a well-known man in the crime world of Dallas and Chicago, and it is quite possible that he
