The Day Innocence Died – The Magic Bullet Theory

There are so many mysteries, myths, and dare I say lies connect to the JFK assassination, particularly as it relates to what the official story reports. One of the most interesting and unbelievable aspects of the Warren Commission report was what have been christened as the "Magic Bullet theory. If you believe what the conspiracy books say about the Warren Commission believed about the fantasy called the Single Bullet Theory, you would have to conclude the commissioners and staff of the commission were a bunch of fools.

The single (magic) bullet theory according to the commission went like this: a three-centimeter (1.2")-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 and Governor Connally’s chest and wrist and embedded itself in the Governor’s thigh. This means the bullet traversed 15 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, and approximately 15 inches of tissue, struck a necktie knot, removed 4 inches of rib, and shattered a radius bone. Yet, this bullet was found on a gurney in the corridor at the Parkland Memorial Hospital completely intact and in nearly pristine condition. This bullet became a key Commission exhibit, identified as CE 399.

Fifty-years later the question remains “who done it”?
