Lee Harvey Oswald sat in the Texas School Book Depository on the sixth floor with his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle out the window awaiting the President's motorcade to round the corner. Oswald supposedly fired three shots in anywhere from four to seven seconds, "However, FBI tests revealed that Oswald’s rifle could be fired no faster than once every 2.25 seconds—which, on Zapruder’s camera, translated, to 40 or 41 frames" (Holland). By applying this information, Oswald could not have acted as a lone assassin because by taking the 2.25 seconds of firing into consideration, the time to reload, and the time to reevaluate where the President's motorcade had moved to it would have been impossible to get three shots on target off by just one assassin.

INTRO "The Harper Fragment was a piece of bone discovered in Dealey Plaza the day after the assassination. A Dallas doctor (A. B. Cairns) identified it as occipital bone from a human skull. Further, conspiracy books claim the fragment was found behind the location of the limo at the moment Kennedy’s head exploded. If these claims are correct, that means the back of Kennedy’s head was blown out" (McAdams). Conspiracy theorist can imply that if Kennedy's head was blown out and the piece of skull blew backward then there must have been a second assassin hidden somewhere in front of Kennedy's motorcade. INTRO "This fragment was handed in, but precisely where it was found was never documented, thus preventing any consideration of whether its location could indicate the line of fire" (Ling). If the piece of skull was left untouched then the FBI could have ran tests and figured out if there was a second or even third assassin involved in the murder of President …show more content…
Conspiracy theorist doubt the magic bullets capability to cause multiple wounds between two people however, "The forensic pathology panel determined that Governor Connally was struck by a bullet from the rear, one that entered just below the right armpit and exited below the right nipple of the chest. It then shattered the radius bone of the Governor's right wrist and caused a superficial wound to the left thigh. (24) Based on its examination of the nature and alinement of the Governor's wounds, the panel concluded that they were all caused by a single bullet that came from the rear. It concluded further that, having caused the Governor's wounds, the bullet was dislodged from his left thigh"(National Archive). Governor Connally alone sustained three injuries meaning that the resulting injuries most have been to President Kennedy .. . Another reason for the magic bullet is conspiracy theorists believe that due to Kennedy and Connally's seating arrangements in the car the bullet had to preform acts defying simple physics to cause all the injuries but, "The back seat, where JFK rode, was three inches higher than the front seat, where Connally rode. Once that adjustment was made, the line from Oswald’s rifle to Kennedy’s upper back to Connally’s ribcage and wrist appeared absolutely straight. There was no need for
