Do You Believe in Magic?
The importance of the single bullet theory, contrived by Arlen Spector, is that only so many aimed shots are possible within the time frame of 6 to 8 seconds, the shooting time derived from the Z film -- to make just 3 shots, 2 to hit Kennedy and Connally and one miss at 2.3 seconds to aim and fire each shot. If there were more than 3 shots, it just doen't fit the time frame and suggests more than one shooter and thus, a conspiracy.
"According to the Single Bullet Theory, 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. If so, this 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. The [alleged] bullet was found on a gurney in the corridor at the Parkland Memorial Hospital, in Dallas, after the assassination."
"In 1993 a computer animator named Dale Myers embarked on a 10-year project to completely render the events of November 22 in 3D computer animation. His results were shown as part of ABC's documentary
The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy in 2003, and won an Emmy award. "

And his analysis sounds pretty convincing if you don't know the rest of the story, or I should say the beginning of the story. Because, according to x-ray technician Jerroll Custer, when they sat Kennedy up to take the skull films, a large bullet fragment just popped out of K's back. ("In the Eye of History" P. 122) Thus, that missle could not have possibly been a so-called 'Magic" bullet which also renders the Parkland bullet irrelevant. Therefore, it is most likely that there were more than 3 shots fired, and thus a conspiracy even if only based on that fact alone.
But when you add this piece of evidence, to the 40 plus medical witness observations of a large blow-out in the back of K's head, the rational conclusion must lead to more than one shooter and thus, a conspiracy.
On the other hand, you could believe in Magic.
