Single "Magic" Bullet Theory:

The single bullet theory is the
official government ruling behind the assassination of President Kennedy. This
theory was created by the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission was
established by Johnson in order to investigate the assassination. The single
bullet theory says that one bullet hit Kennedy in the back, exited his neck and
then continued on to hit Connally in the back, wrist and leg. The bullet
eventually falls out of Connally's leg and onto his stretcher at Parkland. The
found "magic bullet" is in near perfect condition.
The single bullet theory proposes three shots: one misses limousine completely,
one hits Kennedy and Connally and the last delivers the fatal head blow to
President Kennedy. Gerald Ford, a member of the Warren Commission, altered
their findings by changing the bullet's point of entry from the back of
Kennedy's neck, as initially written in the report, to his uppermost back.
Ford claims this change was made to clarify not to alter history. However, the
point of entry is a key component to the commission's findings that Oswald acted
alone.
