2 Bullet Theory

.
             IF a person was to look at the autopsy x-rays of JFK's skull that person could see about 40-50 tiny bullet fragments in the skull. It has been claimed by the Warren Commission that JFK was killed by a 6.5mm full-metal-jacketed bullet fired from a Carcano rifle (warren commission report pg. 513). This type of bullet does not just break into 40 fragments by striking the human skull. Ballistics expert Howard Donahue believes that this alleged bullet could not have broken up like it did. These types of bullets are made to withstand objects stronger than the human skull. The only way it could have is if it struck another object that was stronger than a human skull (Menninger pg. 68). This showed to me that the bullet was either not a full-metal-jacketed one or it struck another hard object in JFK's skull. .
             To further support the fact of the unlikeliness of the alleged bullet to have broken up as it did is Detective Shaun Roach, a bullet expert, who once quoted this:.
             "Unless full-metal-jacketed bullets strike an intermediate object in flight, prompting premature expansion and/or fragmentation, the thought of fragments inside the entry wound is not likely (Livingstone pg. 58)." .
             Another bullet expert, Dr. Fillinger supports the fact that a full-metal-jacketed bullet does not just break up into tiny fragments by hitting the human skull. He wrote the following quote in one of his essays.
             "You can appreciate the fact that a jacketed projectile is going to leave a very little amount of fragments because it is designed so that it will not scrape off when it goes through a sheer barrel. One can then appreciate the fact that the bullet going through bone may etch or scratch but it will not leave behind much metal (Gorden & Livingstone pg. 79)." .
             Throughout my research I came across the writing of forensics expert Vincent DiMaio that further supported the idea that the alleged bullet could not have fragmentized into many pieces.
