You guys missed one!
I'm disappointed. Why should I be the one who has to post your rebuttals for you?
CE399 was proven to have been fired from Oswald's rifle, to the exclusion of all others. So, the bullet that wounded Connally and probably JFK, must have come from Oswald's rifle, right?
Let's look at the evidence. This is from John Connally's autobiography, entitled, "In History's Shadow",
..the most curious discovery of all took place when they rolled me off the stretcher, and onto the examining table. A metal object fell to the floor, with a click no louder than a wedding band. The nurse picked it up and slipped it into her pocket. It was the bullet from my body, the one that passed though my back, chest and wrist and worked itself loose from my thigh.
Now let's be fair. Connally was not in the greatest shape at the time. Maybe he was just a bit delusional. Fortunately for us however, his good friend, District Attorney, Henry Wade, was not. This is from an interview with the
Dallas Morning News
I also went out to see (Gov. John) Connally, but he was in the operating room. Some nurse had a bullet in her hand, and said this was on the gurney that Connally was on. I talked with Nellie Connally a while and then went on home.
Q: What did you do with the bullet? Is this the famous pristine bullet people have talked about?
A: I told her to give it to the police, which she said she would. I assume that's the pristine bullet.
The nurse did exactly as she was told, and passed the bullet to the nearest cop, which happened to be officer Bobby Nolan, who was guarding Connally's room at the time. I managed to track Nolan down a few years ago, and interviewed him. With his permission, I recorded that interview. This is part of it.
Nolan: I was talking to a man who was one of governor Connally's aides. His name was - I think it was either Stinton or Stimmons (Bill Stinson)
. And he was an aide to the Governor. And she came up and told him that she had the bullet that came off of the gurney.
Now I don't know what gurney. I think they meant Governor Connally's gurney. And she said, "What do you want me to do with it?" He and I were just sitting there in the hallway talking to me and said, "Give it to him"
Q. Was it a bullet fragment or a complete bullet?
Nolan: I don't know. It was a - they told me that is was a bullet.
And I don't know if it was a fragment of a bullet or a whole bullet because it was in a little, small brown envelope. And it was sealed and it was about, I'd say 2 by 3 inches. And it was in that envelope when I got it and I never did look at it or anything.
Q. Now when the nurse gave it to you, did she describe it as a bullet fragment or as a bullet.
Nolan: Uh no. She just said it was a bullet. That's all.
Sooo... it seems that Connally was right. The bullet fell from his "gurney", onto the floor as they were transferring him to an operating table. A nurse picked it up, who was apparently the same one that ran into DA Wade.
She showed it to Wade and told him that it came from Connally's gurney. He instructed her to give it to the police, ASAP, which is exactly what she did.
Nolan told me, that he delivered that bullet to the DPD, shortly after his shift ended, that evening.
I'm sure that most of you see the problem already. That bullet could not possibly have been the one that Daryl Tomlinson found in the cellar of the hospital and passed on to his supervisor, O.P. Wright.
Now, before everyone starts second guessing me,
NO! That bullet was
NOT PLANTED. In fact, it wasn't even CE399. I will prove that to you, in the following article, which explains all of this in much greater detail.
