If a slower bullet comes out more pristine. Doesn't it make more sense that more of the kinetic energy would have been transferred to the bullet and damage the bullet more?

Thanks much for posting, misplaced my taping of this episode and have wanted to see it for ages. Lifton's argument is intriguing but my feeling is that the Parkland doctors' statements of seeing the cerebellum are not off the mark. Stabilized enhanced modern day versions of the Zapruder film seem to show that Kennedy's brain was partially blown out of his skull. The displacement of the brain likely resulted in the cerebellum area being visible immediately after the shooting.

JFk was given life saving treatment in Dallas, not an autopsy. What those MD's in Dallas saw was brain matter matted into JFK's hair. Look at the picture of the President's head from the top laying on the table. It looks like his brain is falling out of his head from the rear. When you're trying to save someones life, do you play around w/ their head wound, touch their brain, risk infection? No. They simply made a mistake. Mrs. Kennedy testified she had held her husband's head together.

The bullet slowed down, and also began to tumble. This is confirmed by the keyhole shaped wound it caused in Connolly's back. Hitting bone flat, as opposed to head on like the bullet fired directly into bone in tests, was what permitted it to cause all that damage and remain somewhat intact. Fragments found in Connolly, and seen in xrays correspond to core material missing from the bullet.

At 13.02, the researcher claims the rifle can't be cycled in less than 2.3 seconds. Then, right before your eyes on the film he unknowingly cycles the weapon in under 1 second. Anyone who watches the Zapruder film can easily see Connolly was hit as he emerges from the sign. His jacket even puffs out due to the energry from the bullet. Dr. Bodine is correct. Why would you plant a bullet BEFORE you knew how many other bullets were collected by investigators?

Thank you for sharing this! No JFK study would be complete without this study. I'm been hoping this & '3 Shots That Changed America' would go up for global study. What impressed me most about this program was Walter Cronkite breaking away from the WC version of events that he had so heavily reported on in the '60's. Back in those days Cronkite was trusted like a father. Thanks again for taking the time to share this. :)

Great upload!

We may never know the truth but it didn't happen like the official US Government story says it happened as their was a cover up via the Warren Commission's final highly questionable findings ie the magic bullet.
