I don't know if this has been talked about before in the forums.
I just watched a show about it on the Military Channel. Very
informative using today's forensics.
A sharpshooter was hired to replicate the shooter/shooters from five
different possible positions on that Dallas day in 1963,
including the Book Depository and the infamous grassy knoll
spot. Using today's forensics they came to the conclusion
that the fatal head shot did come from the Book Depository.
When comparing the splatter from the real day to the splatter from
the experiment the Book Depository shot was identical. Most
of it went forward and against the inside of the door on the
side Kennedy was sitting.
There was splatter and brain matter that did go backwards. The
forensics scientists attributed most of it to the momentum of
the car going forward along with a 15mph wind that was
blowing directly in the face of the limousine. There was even
splatter that was on the outside of the front windshield which
means the shot came from behind which caused the splatter
to go forward then the wind blew it back into the windshield.
When the sharpshooter tried to replicate the shot from the grassy
knoll it was determined the splatter went in a different
direction. They also figured that when the fatal shot hit the
President (frame 133 of the Zapruder Film) it would have also
killed the First Lady.
They never tried to dispute a second gunmen. They even mentioned
in one of the still photos taken by someone on the opposite
side of the grassy knoll that a figure may have actually been
in that spot. Their goal was to figure out where the fatal head
shot came from and they concluded it came from the Book
Depository, not the grassy knoll.
