Eyewitnesses

I read John Connally's testimony of what happened on November 22, 1963. He was riding in the car with president Kennedy, and as the shots were fired he got shot along with the president. Mr. Connally and his wife both agree that the first bullet did not hit him. But the second bullet did hit him, and the third did not hit him. So the first and third bullets both hit Mr. Kennedy. Although the president died from these fatal shots, Mr. Connally survived and made a full recovery. Years later, in 1982, a man named Doug Thompson revealed that he asked Mr. Connally if he believed that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the gun that killed the president. John Connally responded, "Absolutley not." He also said that he doesn't believe the conclusions of the Warren Commision, and that he will never speak publicly about what he believes happened on that day. I think this account of what happened is very important because Mr. Connally was the only other man shot in the car, and he was the only man that was that close to the president. I believe his account of what happened is true and it proves that the the single bullet theory is neither possible or true.
