Wasn't there a thread about this yesterday? And no, I'm not being funny, or making a backhanded comment about the number of Kennedy Assassination
threads...this is a conspiracy discussion site, after all.
Ahh. Found it!
That other bullet related thread
The article doesn't 'prove' that there was a second gunman involved. It simply says that there
could have been a second gunman, based on
their analysis of the original analysis.
Using new guidelines set forth by the National Academy of Sciences for proper bullet analysis, Tobin and his colleagues at Texas A&M re-analyzed
the bullet evidence used by the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations, which concluded that only one shooter, Oswald, fired the shots that
killed Kennedy in Dallas.
And their conclusion?
They found that the scientific and statistical assumptions Guinn used -- and the government accepted at the time -- to conclude that the fragments
came from just two bullets fired from Oswald's gun were wrong."This finding means that the bullet fragments from the assassination that match could
have come from three or more separate bullets," the researchers said.
And the conclusion that they made a point of saying that they did not reach?
They reached no conclusion about whether more than one gunman was involved, but urged that authorities conduct a new and complete forensic
re-analysis of the five bullet fragments left from the assassination 44 years ago.
The evidence should, in my opinion, be reexamined, but until they can do this new form of analysis on the actual fragments, it doesn't,
unfortunately, prove anything except that technology improves over 44 years.
