Conspiracy III: The Kennedy Assassination

Thanks Tarzan. ---- ACOUSTIC CONDITIONS "Conclusion? They're all correct about what they heard - or more accurately, what they think they heard. They are simply mistaken in their conclusion about where the sound came from. (And neither conclusion would make them ALL right or ALL wrong - some would be correct either way...)" ---- I really don't think this is a plausible explanation at all. Considering bullets were only supposed to have come from one source (the book depository), it's very compelling to note that almost as many people heard bullets come from elsewhere. It is easy to shrug off eye-witness testimony, but consider if this wasn't Kennedy and there wasn't already a well-defined conspiracy theory. We have a few people who've been shot, and 96 eye-witnesses (well, ear-witnesses). The police, who have no idea how many shooters there were or where bullets came from, etc., ask the witnesses where they heard shots fired. They find that 35 of the witnesses heard bullets from Point A, 56 from Point B and 5 from both points. Why should we discount the testimony of 40 people who heard shots from Point A? Does my opponent have any evidence that this particular spot can produce immense ambiguity in what people sense? ---- EXIT/ENTRY WOUND? ---- After reading my opponent's source [http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu...], I realize Dr. McClelland is uncertain either way about the nature of the wounds, so his testimony is useless. However, if we view the video my opponent provided in Round 2, is there any question that the fatal head shot came from the front of the vehicle (0:29)? ---- REENACTMENTS "This article (http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu......) states that the FBI did in fact successfully reconstruct the scenario, with shot times averaging around 6 seconds for several different people. Consider also that Oswald had a rest for his rifle (the window) and would have already chambered the first round, greatly lessening the time needed to accurately aim. Furthermore, my opponent has already conceded this point - "4) Oswald couldn't have gotten three shots off in the 6-8 second time frame he had." I concede point 4 to my opponent..." ---- I only conceded the time-limit, which leaves the former Marines unable to reconstruct the "angle, the range, the moving target, the obstacles, everything". The link my opponent provided does indeed provide details of a thorough reconstruction by the FBI, but this is the very reconstruction my sources were disputing as impossible. Marine Sniper Craig Roberts: "First, I analyzed the scene as a sniper . . . I looked at the engagement angles. It was entirely wrong…Here, from what I could see, three problems arose that would influence my shots. First, the target was moving away at a drastic angle to the right from the window, meaning that I would have to position my body to compete with the wall and a set of vertical water pipes . . . This would be extremely difficult for a right-handed shooter. Second, I would have to be ready to fire exactly when the target emerged past some tree branches that obscured the kill zone. Finally, I would have to deal with two factors at the same time; the curve of the street, and the high-to-low angle formula—a law of physics Oswald would not have known." Also, after doing a little more research, I have found that there were actually TEN objects struck by bullets. Can my opponent explain the information at the bottom of this page [http://www.strike-the-root.com...] regarding just how many objects were struck on that day? "So let us count the OBJECTS STRUCK. (1) street (2) curb (3) manhole cover (4) JFK's back (5) JFK's throat (6) windshield (7) trim strip (8) street sign (9) Connelly (10) JFK's head. Additionally, we heard reports of a shot striking a curb along Elm, which was hastily covered up. Could Oswald--according to the Lone Assassin Theory--have struck all of these objects in six seconds? Not unless he was armed with an automatic rifle and a dozen bullets." [1] Thanks to JCMT, I look forward to his rebuttal. [1] - http://www.strike-the-root.com...
