IF Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) was the assassin he would surely know he shot John Connally (JBC). Chances are if he was a bystander watching the motorcade he would know JBC was hit too. BUT, if he was NOT watching the motorcade and NOT shooting at the limousine then he wouldn't know this at all given his departure from the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) shortly after the shooting.
Look at this comment from FBI agent James Bookhout.
***********************************************
Mr. STERN - In your report before this interview you mentioned that he again denied shooting President Kennedy, and apparently said that he didn't know until then that Governor Connally had been shot?
Mr. BOOKHOUT - That's correct. That was his statement, that he denied shooting President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and commented that he did not know that Governor John Connally had been shot.
Mr. STERN - Did you form any impression about whether he was genuinely surprised? Did he look genuinely surprised to you, or how did you feel about that? I am just asking for your impression. If you don't have one, say so.
Mr. BOOKHOUT - No; I have no impression on that. I arrived at no conclusion.
This one comment by LHO sinks the Warren Commission’s (WC) conclusion that he was the lone shooter! There is NO way LHO could have shot at the limousine and NOT have KNOWN JBC was hit! I realize Bookhout says he "formed no impression" of LHO's reaction, but this is counter-intuitive to an interrogator's skill set. You are taught to look for a tell or some form of confirming if this is the truth or not. To me, this is another form of "inconclusive" being used because IMO his reaction was natural and showed he did NOT know JBC had been shot. This means he was NOT the shooter and the WC could NOT allow this to be said, and barring an outright lie by Bookhout (something he probably did NOT want to do) they had no other choice but to go with this.
Arriving at conclusions is the the main goal of any investigator/interrogator so his answer is just smoke to me.
Again, as I said the other day, LHO was NEVER charged with shooting JBC and that says a lot right there. Based on this doubt the WC’s conclusion cannot be taken as accurate, thus, it is sunk again.
