(12,792 posts)or anyone else for that matter, counter this particular theory:
(I'm not ready to adopt this theory myself, but I find it interesting)
The the first couple of shots were fired by a rifle with a silencer from somewhere like the third floor of the Daltex building, where an alleged mafia member had also been apprehended.
Many witnesses explained that the first couple of shots were hardly even noticeable, more like firecrackers, and sounded significantly different than the shot(s) that hit JFK's head.
The silencer may have misdirected the bullet causing the shooter to initially miss his target. He was able to correct for the subsequent shot, which still did not hit the head, but did hit JFK's back.
If, indeed, a single bullet had passed through JFK and also hit Connolly, then the alignment of the shot from the third floor of the Daltex building would make more sense and not require Connolly to be sitting at the side corner of his seat.
(Please note that for this particular theory I'm not talking about phantom bullets, and it even gives you the SBT)
