(21,786 posts)There's no evidence of other shooters, the recovered fragments and bullet match Oswald's rifle, ballistically, the shots came from behind. All of this points to Oswald (unless someone was on the sixth floor with Oswald's rifle). Assuming it wasn't Oswald, and wasn't Oswald's rifle, means that the conspirators planted a bullet to be found in Parkland before they could've known that another bullet, of a completely different type, might not be recovered from Kennedy's body in the autopsy (since at the point that CE399, the "single bullet", was discovered, Air Force One was still on the tarmac at Love Field, JFK's body was still in Trauma Room One, and Connally was in surgery). It also means that if the shots came from anywhere other than behind (from the Dal-Tex building, or the grassy knoll), the Zapruder film was altered to disguise the nature of Kennedy's head wound, Kennedy's body was altered or switched before the autopsy, or the autopsy photos and X-rays were faked or altered to disguise the nature of the wounds. All of this is very improbable, since Kennedy's body was under constant watch from the time it was put into the casket and placed aboard Air Force One to the time it arrived at Bethesda, and the original of the Zapruder film was in Abraham Zapruder's possession (he gave two copies to the Secret Service and FBI), until he transmitted it to the representative of Time-Life who bought the rights from him (and the original and the copies are identical).
