The Warren Commission (WC) claimed Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) alone shot John F. Kennedy (JFK) and John B. Connally (JBC) with his alleged rifle from the SE sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD). But did he? NO is the RESOUNDING answer IF we use the WC’s OWN evidence!
Let’s look at their claims (WCR) and evidence (twenty-six volumes) to see how.

In the Warren Report (WR) they said this on page 97:

Examination of the Zapruder motion picture camera by the FBI established that 18.3 pictures or frames were taken each second, and therefore, the timing of certain events could be calculated by allowing 1/18.3 seconds for the action depicted from one frame to the next. …Tests of the assassin’s rifle disclosed that at least 2.3 were required between shots.

So we see the basis for the WC’s claim of the shooting sequence. This means that for EACH recycle of the bolt (and obviously reacquiring of the target) it would take 42.09 FRAMES. Keep this number in mind when we look at the claims of the WC.
The WC would write that the large oak tree blocked any shot at the President by the assassin until about frame 210 when the limousine emerges from the tree’s blockage (from the view of the assassin). They wrote the following on pages 98/105 of their Report:

It is probable that the President was not shot before frame 210, since it is unlikely that the assassin would deliberately have shot at him with a view obstructed by the oak tree when he was about to have a clear opportunity. It is also doubtful that even the most proficient marksman would have hit him through the oak tree. In addition, the President’s reaction is “barely apparent” in frame 225 which is fifteen frames or approximately eight-tenths of a second after frame 210, and a shot much before 210 would assume a longer reaction time than was recalled by eyewitnesses at the scene. Thus, the evidence indicated that the President was not hit until at least frame 210 and that he was probably hit by frame 225. (WCR, pp. 98-105)

So we see the time he was hit first set by the WC – “probably 210” and “definitely by 225”. IF we use the first frame possibility of 210 to be fair, we still can’t show it was possible for the same shooter to fire again in time to hit JBC. FBI expert Robert Frazier said the following during his testimony in front of the WC.
Mr. Specter. We will take it with reference to the reconstructed positions of Governor Connally in frames 222 and 225, which you have testified you did observe at the time the measurements and photographs were taken.
Mr. Frazier. I would say, yes, under the conditions that I mentioned previously, that the reconstruction would represent the Governor as it was in November, then he could have been struck anywhere in that frame area of from 207 to 225.
Mr. Specter. How about the same question in frames 231, 235, 240 and thereafter?
Mr. Frazier. There is only one position beyond frame 225 at which the Governor could have been struck according to the information furnished to me and from my examination of his clothing that he was struck near the right sleeve seam and that the bullet came out through the inside pocket of his jacket.
At frame 281 the Governor is, as I saw it from the window on that date, turned to the front to such an extent that he could not have been hit at that particular frame.
Mr. Specter. Why not, Mr. Frazier?
Mr. Frazier. The angle through his body, as I measured it on the coat is approximately 20° from the right toward the left. On May 24 in our reconstruction I found that the Governor had turned farther to the front from a position slightly facing the right than he was in at frame 225. He had turned back to the front so that a shot which struck him in this shoulder in the back----
Mr. Specter. Indicating the right shoulder?
Mr. Frazier. Indicating the right shoulder near the seam would have come out much further to his right than the actual exit hole described to me as being just under the right nipple.
So we see the most likely time for JBC to have been hit was between frames 207 and 225, with one exception—frame 281—according to Frazier who conducted the reenactments. Here is what JBC said about this in his WC testimony.
Senator COOPER. That is when you heard the first rifleshot?
Governor CONNALLY. This was after I heard the first rifleshot. There was no pain connected with it. There was no particular burning sensation. There was nothing more than that. I think you would feel almost the identical sensation I felt if someone came up behind you and just, with a short jab, hit you with a doubled-up fist just below the shoulder blade.
Senator COOPER. That is all.
Mr. Specter. I have just one other question, Governor. With respect to the films and the slides which you have viewed this morning, had you ever seen those pictures before this morning?
Governor CONNALLY. I had seen what purported to be a copy of the film when I was in the hospital in Dallas. I had not seen the slides.
Mr. Specter. And when do you think you were hit on those slides, Governor, or in what range of slides?
Governor CONNALLY. We took--you are talking about the number of the slides?
Mr. Specter. Yes.
Governor CONNALLY. As we looked at them this morning, and as you related the numbers to me, it appeared to me that I was hit in the range between 130 or 131, I don't remember precisely, up to 134, in that bracket.
Mr. Specter. May I suggest to you that it was 231?
Governor CONNALLY. Well, 231 and 234, then.
Mr. Specter. The series under our numbering system starts with a higher number when the car comes around the turn, so when you come out of the sign, which was----
Governor CONNALLY. It was just after we came out of the sign, for whatever that sequence of numbers was, and if it was 200, I correct my testimony. It was 231 to about 234. It was within that range.
JBC picked out the ranges from frames 231 to 234. This is different from what Frazier said. All this lead the WC to write in its Report:
Quote on
According to Frazier, between frames 235 and 240 the Governor turned sharply to his right, so that by frame 240 he was too far to the right to have received his injuries at that time. At some point between frames 235 and 240, therefore, is the last occasion when Governor Connally could have received his injuries, since in the frames following 240 he remained turned too far to his right.
Quote off
It really doesn’t matter if he was hit between 231-234 as JBC said, or by 240 at the latest as Frazier said, the point is the time elapsed is NOT enough to RECYCLE THE BOLT AND FIRE AGAIN! This is the reason they had to INVENT the “magic bullet” and the SINGLE BULLET THEORY. The time between JFK being hit (using frame 210 and it could NOT be any earlier based on the oak tree), and the time JBC was hit (using either 231-234 or 240) is JUST 1.15 TO 1.31 SECONDS! NO shooter could recycle the bolt on the alleged murder weapon that fast so they had to invent the claim that both men were hit by the SAME bullet.
Thus, despite NO evidence for the claim they said both men had been hit by the same bullet. How did this come about? Well, on page 105 of the Report we see this statement by FBI expert Robert Frazier.
Quote on
The bullet that hit President Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat most likely could not have missed both the automobile and its occupants. Since it did not hit the automobile, Frazier testified that it probably struck Governor Connally. The relative positions of President Kennedy and Governor Connally at the time when the President was struck in the neck confirm that the same bullet probably passed through both men.
Quote off
This comment is totally based on assumption. Why could the bullet NOT have left the limousine like the one that hit Tague did? Why did it have to hit JBC? Also, the limousine had a good bit of damage to it, so how did he know it was not caused by this bullet? The FBI would NOT examine the limousine for 14-16 hours after the assassination, so who knows what could have happened to it in that time. Also, we have the man who was hit, JBC, saying there is NO way the bullet that hit JFK first also hit him!
Mr. Specter. In your view, which bullet caused the injury to your chest, Governor Connally?
Governor CONNALLY. The second one.
Mr. Specter. And what is your reason for that conclusion, sir?
Governor CONNALLY. Well, in my judgment, it just couldn't conceivably have been the first one because I heard the sound of the shot, In the first place, don't know anything about the velocity of this particular bullet, but any rifle has a velocity that exceeds the speed of sound, and when I heard the sound of that first shot, that bullet had already reached where I was, or it had reached that far, and after I heard that shot, I had the time to turn to my right, and start to turn to my left before I felt anything.
It is not conceivable to me that I could have been hit by the first bullet, and then I felt the blow from something which was obviously a bullet, which I assumed was a bullet, and I never heard the second shot, didn't hear it. I didn't hear but two shots. I think I heard the first shot and the third shot.
Even members of the WC were not buying the claim that both JFK and JBC were hit by the same bullet. Look at this exchange by Allen Dulles and John McCloy during Shaneyfelt’s testimony.
Mr. Dulles. But you would have then the problem you would think if Connally had been hit at the same time, would have reacted in the same way, and not reacted much later as these pictures show.
Mr. Mccloy. That is right.
Mr. Dulles. Because the wounds would have been inflicted.
Mr. Mccloy. That is what puzzles me.
Mr. Dulles. That is what puzzles me.
This claim, the SBT, is still puzzling us nearly 50 years later. There is simply NO evidence for this claim, but instead it is obvious this came about OUT OF NECESSITY since the evidence showed more than ONE SHOOTER was involved. On page 112 of the Report you will read this about the topic.
Quote on
There was, conceivably, a delayed reaction between the time the bullet struck him and the time he realized that he was hit, despite the fact that the bullet struck a glancing blow to a rib and penetrated his wrist bone. The Governor did not even know that he had been struck in the wrist or in the thigh until he regained consciousness in the hospital the next day.
Quote off
This is simply not true as Dr. Robert Shaw (JBC’s attending physician) said this before the WC.
Mr. Mccloy. Let me ask you this, Doctor, in your experience with gunshot wounds, is it possible for a man to be hit sometime before he realizes it?
Dr. SHAW. Yes. There can be a delay in the sensory reaction.
Mr. Mccloy. Yes; so that a man can think as of a given instant he was not hit, and when actually he could have been hit.
Dr. SHAW. There can be an extending. sensation and then just a gradual building up of a feeling of severe injury.
Mr. Mccloy. But there could be a delay in any appreciable reaction between the time of the impact of the bullet and the occurrence?
Dr. SHAW. Yes; but in the case of a wound which strikes a bony substance such as a rib, usually the reaction is quite prompt.
Mr. Mccloy. Yes.
Dr. SHAW. Yes.
Again, through their own evidence we see the conclusion the WC gave is a false one. The evidence shows more than one shooter was involved. Nothing the WC presented shows us one man fired a World War II surplus rifle at JFK on November 22, 1963.
