"The picture speaks 1,000 words."
:53:21
The Warren Commission thought they had
an open-and-shut case.
:53:24
Three bullets, one assassin.
:53:27
But two unpredictable things happened
that day to make it virtually impossible.
:53:32
One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder
while standing near the grassy knoll.
:53:36
Two, the third wounded man,
James Teague, nicked by a fragment...
:53:41
...while standing near the triple underpass.
:53:43
The time frame, 5.6 seconds,
established by the Zapruder film...
:53:47
...left no possibility of a fourth shot.
:53:50
So the shot of fragment that left
a superficial wound on Teague's cheek...
:53:54
...came from one of the three bullets
fired from the Depository's sixth floor.
:53:59
That leaves just two bullets.
:54:01
We know one was the fatal head shot
that killed Kennedy.
:54:06
So a single bullet remains.
:54:08
A single bullet must account for the seven
wounds in Kennedy and Connally.
:54:14
Rather than admit to a conspiracy
or investigate further...
:54:17
...the Warren Commission
endorsed the theory...
:54:19
...put forth by an ambitious attorney,
Arlen Spector.
:54:23
One of the grossest lies ever forced
on the American people.
:54:27
Is known as the "magic bullet" theory.
:54:30
The magic bullet...
:54:32
...enters the Presidens back,
headed downward at a 17-degree angle.
:54:37
It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's
body from the front of his neck...
:54:42
...wound #2...
:54:44
...where it waits 1.6 seconds...
:54:46
...presumably in midair,
where it turns right, then left...
:54:51
...right, then left...
:54:53
...and continues
into Connally's right armpit.
:54:56
Wound #3.
:54:58
The bullet then heads down at an angle
of 27 degrees, shattering his rib...
