(1,443 posts)CE-399 is not essential to solving the murder of President Kennedy. You can throw it out as a piece of evidence and it doesn't change the fact that you've got wounds on Kennedy and Connally which have to be explained. Some bullet or bullets caused them. If it's not CE-399, it's some other bullet or group of bullets which have never been found.
Now, let's suppose for a moment that JFK had not been wounded at all on 11-22-63 but that Connally's wounds had been the same (working from memory here): an oblong wound in the back, a "sucking" wound in the lower chest, a shattered wrist, and a superficial wound in the thigh.
How do we explain these wounds without the bullet striking an intervening object first? What other locations could that shot have been fired from besides the back that would have produced those wounds? If those wounds were produced from the back, what other intervening object could have caused the bullet to tumble in such a way as to produce those wounds other than Kennedy's throat?
The Single Bullet theory is derided. But what else could have caused those wounds?
