The assassination of JFK

Jefferson Morley:

The Fragility of the ‘Lone Gunman' Theory

After nearly 60 years have passed, the JFK assassination case has created conspiracies ranging from the absurd to the fantastic, and yet not one single verifiable piece of evidence, not one, has been substantiated or verified to prove the presence of a likely conspiracy, domestic or international.

MORLEY: This sort of overstatement undermines your argument from the outset. The Zapruder film, for example, is a piece of evidence. It shows the president struck by a gunshot. It shows his head snapped backward when the shot hit. 

The testimony of Dr. Robert McClelland, one of the doctors who tried to save JFK’s life, is evidence that corroborates the visual evidence in the film. Dr. McClelland saw JFK’s head wound from a distance of about 18 inches. 

He said in multiple interviews that what he saw of the wound and what he saw on the Zapruder film left no doubt in his mind that Kennedy was killed by a gunshot fired from in front of the limousine. 

When CIA director John McCone saw the Zapruder film, he said the same thing: The president was struck by gunfire from two different directions....

Rob's comment:
Yes, JFK was also shot from behind, evidence of two shooters and a conspiracy.
