Connelly heard the first shot, which was fired prior to the limo being filmed by Zapruder. JFK heard the first shot, too, and appears looking around in the initial Zapruder images of the limo. Also visible in the initial Zapruder scene is the running girl with the scarf who, having heard the first shot, slowed and turned to look back at the source. The limo then passed behind the sign and when it emerges, both Kennedy and Connelly are reacting to being hit by the second bullet.philip964 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 6:08 pm John Connelly and his wife were riding in the car with Jackie and JFK when both Jack and John were shot.
After the Warren Commission results were released with the “magic bullet” theory, he vigorously disputed the results. He said he was not shot with the same bullet that shot Kennedy. The Zabruder film proved that there was only time for Oswald to fire three bullets unless there was another shooter. One bullet struck a curb nicking it. That left only two bullets to do all the damage and wounds to Kennedy and Connelly. He is on film saying he was not shot with the same bullet that went through Kennedy’s neck as he turned and saw Kennedy grab his neck and a few seconds later he was shot. Not at the same time. An entry wound in Kennedy’s neck would have been going in the wrong direction to also wound Connelly. Another bullet struck Kennedy in the head which was the fatal wound. Its direction is still under dispute by conspiracy theorists.
20 years later when the movie JFK came out, Connelly changed his mind and was very vocal along with it seemed everyone to say the movie which disputed the magic bullet theory was all wrong.
When Connelly later died, his wife refused to allow the bullet fragments that were still in his body to be removed and weighed. Supposedly the magic bullet which was pristine despite it going through two victims, was found in his gurney. Weighing the bullet and the fragments would determine if they were from the same bullet.
The autopsy, which was illegally not done in Texas was conducted in Washington DC by the military, it did not trace the wound directions. Kennedy’s brain disappeared so it could not be done post autopsy.
Four bullets would mean two shooters and a conspiracy.
