  • A Legal-Scientific Analysis of the Warren Commission's Single Bullet
    The Magic Bullet: A Legal-Scientific analysis of the Warren Commission’s Single Bullet Theory Andrew M. Mason1 Since its publication in 1964, the Report of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy 2 has been mired in controversy. In reaching its conclusion that President Kennedy was the victim of a lone assassin, the Warren Commission adopted the “single bullet theory” to explain the sequence of three shots directed at the President’s limousine. Three of the seven Commission members apparently disagreed with the theory on the grounds that the evidence did not support it. The lack of clear evidence for the theory and its inconsistency with key eyewitness testimony has provided fertile ground for conspiracy theorists who allege that the explanation was concocted to support the Commission’s conclusion that all shots were fired from Oswald’s rifle.3 According to the single bullet theory, a one-inch long, copper jacketed, lead core 6.5 millimeter rifle bullet fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository passed through President Kennedy’s neck, Governor Connally’s chest and wrist and embedded itself in the Governor’s thigh. In doing so, the bullet traversed 19 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, approximately 15 inches of tissue, struck a tie knot, removed 4 inches of rib and shattered a radius bone. Despite leaving several small particles of lead behind in the Governor’s wounds, the missile emerged from its tortuous journey remarkably unscathed. The bullet that is supposed to have done all this damage was found on Governor Connally’s stretcher in the corridor at the Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

    Novenq-,r 25, 1993 Rebecca Sinkler 4 Yawkey Way editor Fenway Park The New York Times Book Review Boston, MA 02215 229 West 43rd Street New York, NY 10036 Dear Editor: The purpose of this letter is to issue a respectful but firm dissent to the recent flurry of endorsements of Mr. Gerald Posner's book, Case Closed. Mr. Posner's book is not the "compelling account... of what probably did happen in Dallas," as heralded in the review by Mr. Geoffrey C. Ward in The New York Times, Sunday, November 21, 1993. Neither is it an "always conclusive destruction of one Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory after another," as Tom Wicker writes on the jacket cover. In fact, Case Closed is factually innaccurate and misleading, despite the acclaim granted to Mr. Posner during the last several months in both the electronic and print media. In reality, Case Closed is no less a sham than many books published on both sides of the conspiracy issue since the events in Dallas, 1963. Allow me to demonstrate: The Single Bullet Theory Of all the assassination theories, the Single Bullet Theory is certainly the grandest of them all. It is the cornerstone of any case against Lee Harvey Oswald or any other lone gunman. Conspiracy or not, all scholars of the case can not ignore the inescapable fact that the Single Bullet Theory is, itself, only a theory, not a fact. It is almost universally accepted that the lone gunman scenario requires no more than three shots. It also asks that one bullet be responsible for multiple wounds and physical damage in two men: An entrance and exit wound in the president; an entrance wound beneath the right rear armpit in Governor Connally; a fractured rib in the Governor; an exit wound out the Governors chest; an entrance wound in his wrist; a fractured wrist; an exit wound from his hand; and still a final entrance wound (superficial) in his thigh.

Thank you. Now, Mr. Groden, in your capacity as a consultant to this com- mittee, what has been your major responsibility? Mr. GRODEN. My major responsibility was to present to the com- mittee those issues dealing with photographic evidence that it was felt could be scientifically addressed, perhaps improved upon as the knowledge of the critics has lasted through these years and per- haps give new information relating to those particular photographs and films. Mr. GOLDSMITH. Mr. Groden, to what extent, if any, has the information you have been giving to this committee been limited to those issues that you personally thought to have merit? Mr. GRODEN. No, all of the issues to which I felt there was merit, I was given freedom to address, but also, additional issues which, perhaps, were not of my belief but certainly were raised by credible critics as well. Mr. GOLDSMITH. So basically, then, you saw your responsibilities as a consultant to advise the committee generally, and not just with regard to those issues with which you had worked; is that correct? Mr.

Kennedy, and Jacqueline Kennedy in presidential limousine, Dallas], November 22, 212.857.0045 1963. International Center of Photography, Museum Purchase, 2013. When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, the event and its aftermath were transmitted to a stunned nation via photography and television. Many of the key news photographs from those days were taken by amateur photographers, or happenstance bystanders, rather than by professional photojournalists. On the fiftieth anniversary of this event, the International Center of Photography will present JFK November 22, 1963: A Bystander’s View of History, an exhibition that considers the role of the amateur photographers as witnesses to President Kennedy’s tragic assassination. The Kennedy Presidency coincided with the rise of popular media, which established an intimate rapport between audiences and celebrities. Public events, including parades and rallies, were chances to see prominent figures and perhaps take their pictures. The widespread availability of inexpensive cameras and even instant photographs made photography accessible to middle-class audiences. This exhibition considers how mid-century viewers used the camera to understand and construct their lives—from their interest or goal in taking pictures of the President in the first place to the destination or use of these informal snapshots to what happened when such private notations became the public record of this key historical event.

  • Zapruder Jfk Film Impeached by Moorman Jfk Polaroid
    NOTE: This is the best I have been able to find so far after Rob Kall, the editor of OpEdNews, made my articles inaccessible. Here is the link where it should be found: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Zapruder-JFK-Film-Impeache-by- Jim-Fetzer-090324-48.html If anyone knows of a better link, please let me know. Many thanks! ZAPRUDER JFK FILM IMPEACHED BY MOORMAN JFK POLAROID Jim Fetzer "If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't need to worry about answers". — Thomas Pynchon, GRAVITY'S RAINBOW (1973). Madison, WI (OpEdNews) March 24, 2009 — A debate has been raging just off the radar of the main stream media over the significance of a Polaroid photograph by Mary Moorman, which appears to impeach the famous Zapruder film of the assassination. Although most attention has focused on an argument initiated by legendary photo-analyst Jack White—that the photo reflects a line-of-sight that places Mary in the street, while the film shows her on the grass—a more serious threat emerges from its photographic content, which shows JFK’s head tilted downward and slightly the left. Surprisingly, this removes the final resistance to impeaching the film based upon the medical evidence. The features of the film that are the center of this latest controversy have been explored by an Australian physicist, John P. Costella, Ph.D., who has a specialty in electromagnetism, including the properties of light and the physics of moving bodies, who is the leading expert on the Zapruder film in the world today.

The goal of Congress in passing S. 3006 was to ensure broadest possible disclosure of the records relating to the assassination. The fact that a document exists only in private hands should not deter the Board in any way from seeking to compel its transmission to the National Archives.—Judge Tunheim at the Review Board nomination hearings. Through fair and impartial application of the criteria developed by the Review Board and keeping in mind always the express purposes of the enabling legis- lation, I believe that the Review Board should be as aggressive as it needs to be to achieve disclosure of relevant records.

  • Washington Decoded
    Washington Decoded 11 November 2008 11 Seconds in Dallas Redux: Filmed Evidence Figure 1. Still photo taken during a restaging of the assassination by the Secret Service in 1963. Six months later, the Warren Commission would independently label the limousine’s location at this approximate point on Elm Street “Position A.” The ghost image, which is inserted, approximates the position of the presidential limousine on November 22 at the moment Abraham Zapruder restarted his camera (see figure 2). By Max Holland and Kenneth R. Scearce In March 2007, the inaugural issue of Washington Decoded posited a radical new description of the shooting sequence in Dealey Plaza. “11 Seconds in Dallas, Not Six” argued that the Zapruder film did not capture in full the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy. Rather, the iconic movie recorded an assassination that had already commenced. Lee Harvey Oswald’s errant first shot was fired about 1.4 seconds before Abe Zapruder started his camera, or just after the president’s limousine reached a point on Elm Street identified by the Warren Commission in 1964 as “Position A,” which was “not on the Zapruder film” (figure 1).[1] Washington Decoded This new explanation changed nothing, and everything, at the same time. In the first sense, it only underscored that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, killed President Kennedy. But it also lay to rest the notion, which had long haunted the official story, that Oswald’s feat of marksmanship was anything exceptional. Firing three shots in 11 seconds took no great skill. Figure 2. Frame 133 from the Zapruder film, the first frame in which the presidential limousine is visible.

  • II. the Number, Timing, and Source of the Shots Fired at the Presidential
    II. THE NtiDiBER, TIMING, AND SOURCE OF THE SHOTS FIRF.D AT THE PRESIDENTIAL LIMOIISINE .4. ZParren Commission Findings (47) The Warren Commission concluded that three bullets had been fired at the Presidential limousine from the sixth floor, southeast corner window, of the Texas School Book Depository. Finding that the first pierced the President's neck, the Commission also indicated that "[a]lthough * * * not necessary to any essential findings * * *, there is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that [this] * * * same bullet * * * also caused Governor Connally's wounds.'' (12) A second bullet caused a massive and fatal wound to the President's head ; (13) a third bullet was believed to have missed the car and its occupants. (14) (48) The Commission was unable to establish conclusively which of the three bullets missed, and hence the precise timespan of the shots was not definitively determined . By studying the Zapruder movie film, it found that the President's back wound occurred between, frames 210 and 225, and that the head wound occurred at frame 313. (15) Based upon the 18 .3 frame-per-second average rate of speed at which film was exposed in Zapruder's camera, the Commission then calculated that "there was an interval of from 4.8 to 5.6 seconds" between those two shots. (16) If the second bullet were the one that missed, then. this inter- val was the timespan for all the shots. If, however, either the first or third bullet missed, the minimum timespan would have been 7.1 to 7.9 seconds (derived from the previous calculation of 4.8 to 5.6 seconds plus 2.3 seconds, the minimum time in which Oswald's Dlannlicher-Carcano rifle could be fired) .

  • The Closest Living Witness: Mary Moorman
    DOES THE TIMING OF MARY MOORMAN’S PHOTOGRAPH HELP PROVE THE DOUBLE HEAD SHOT THEORY OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY’S ASSASSINATION? Roger Bruce Feinman, Esq. Photogrammetry by W. Anthony Marsh Copyright 1999 by Roger Bruce Feinman. Portions copyright by W. Anthony Marsh. All Rights Reserved THE CLOSEST LIVING WITNESS: MARY MOORMAN DOES THE TIMING OF HER PHOTOGRAPH HELP PROVE THE DOUBLE HEAD SHOT THEORY OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY’S ASSASSINATION? 1 THE GENESIS OF THIS PAPER At the end of August 1999, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht sent me a copy of a privately circulated essay about “Moorman Photo #5,” written by an assassination researcher from Youngstown, OH, with a request for comments. “Moorman Photo #5” refers to the very well known black-and-white Polaroid snapshot that was taken by Mrs. Mary Moorman during President Kennedy’s assassina- tion in Dallas. Moorman was one of the witnesses on Elm Street who stood closest to the Presi- dent’s limousine in the midst of gunfire, and at the very moment he received his fatal injuries. The focus of the researcher’s interest is the timing of the photograph in relation to the fatal wounding of the president. I will presently define his issue more specifically; discuss the issue’s significance to the assassination controversy; and then resolve it. THE ISSUE The researcher wonders whether Mrs. Moorman snapped her photograph immediately before or immediately after President Kennedy sustained a wound to his head. He also raises a question whether it makes a difference either way. He correctly notes that the timing issue appears to be another bone of contention between critics and proponents of the lone gunman thesis .
