(24,449 posts)most speculation had to do with the second shot. No one ever questioned the entry wound not matching or the wound not being typical of that bullet on the final shot. I have never been convinced there were 2 shooters until now. I am convinced we are as close we will ever be to figuring it out. The facts are the facts. Because someone else had a reason to kill does not mean that they did. None of the conspiracy theories has ever matched up with the evidence.
Multiple witnesses on the ground stated they smelled gunpowder. That was impossible if Oswald was the lone shooter. He was 5 stories up and downwind. Multiple witnesses stated they saw a SS agent stand up in the car behind with a weapon and one said the agent fell backward when the car accelerated. One said he thought the agents were "firing back". Testing done on the trajectory convinced me that most likely the 3rd shot came from directly behind. If true, what a terrible way to spend the rest of your life knowing you accidentally killed the person you were supposed to protect with your life.
And Howard Donahue was not the only person ever to replicate Oswald's shots if you mean 3 shots in 7 seconds. It has been done many times. I always thought the 3rd shell casing, being bent and not found with the other 2, was because Oswald kicked and stepped on it as he was fleeing. Donahue thinks it was used as a plug in the chamber. Could be.
