  • A Legal-Scientific Analysis of the Warren Commission's Single Bullet

    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.
  • The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory

    The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory

    A Paranoid Style? : The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Broadbent Degree of Masters of Arts by Research University of East Anglia School of American Studies January 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the phenomenon of conspiracy theory, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study. Doubt is the root cause of conspiracy theory, stemming from both the innate biases all humans exhibit, and a traumatic experience – in this case the assassination of JFK. This thesis argues that conspiracy theories are created and take hold because of a predisposition toward conspiracy theory, a misinterpretation of a central piece of evidence, such as the Zapruder film, and agency panic, where dispossession causes one to feel as if their agency is under threat. Conspiracy theory can provide believers with many emotions which appear to the individual to not be available elsewhere, namely closure, comfort, control, and a sense of leisure. Using the assassination of JFK, this thesis examines the role of conspiracy theory in modern American society. It weighs up the benefits of conspiracy theory, such as it is an example of free speech and it can aid transparency, with the negatives: that it can possibly cause harm to its adherents and their dependants because of a belief in ends justifying the means.

    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.

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.

    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.

    November 22 1963 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A Lincoln City Libraries Booklist compiled on the 50th Anniversary of the Historic Events At 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, while traveling in an open-air motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America, was assassinated by gunfire from the Texas School Book Depository, alongside the presidential motorcade route. Arrested later that day was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the U.S. in 1962. Arraigned for the murder of Kennedy and Dallas police office J.D. Tippit, Oswald himself was killed by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby while he was being transferred between jails. An official governmental investigation into the assassination – the President’s Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, chaired by Earl Warren (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States) – concluded in an 889-page report, released in September 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, as did Ruby in later killing Oswald. Conspiracy theories have abounded in the decades following the Warren Commission’s findings, and numerous other investigations of the assassination have resulted in a variety of other “official” opinions. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, formed in 1976, released a report in 1979 that concluded that although Oswald was, indeed the “lone shooter”, there may very well have been a conspiracy behind his actions to assassinate Kennedy.
