Scientists Cast Doubt on Kennedy Bullet Analysis
Scientists Cast Doubt on Kennedy Bullet Analysis.
From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18709539/:
quote:
The "evidence used to rule out a second assassin is fundamentally flawed," concludes a new article in the Annals of Applied Statistics written by former FBI lab metallurgist William A. Tobin and Texas A&M University researchers Cliff Spiegelman and William D. James.
...
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.
...
To do their research, Tobin, Spiegelman and James said they bought the same brand and lot of bullets used by Oswald and analyzed their lead using the new standards. The bullets from that batch are still on the market as collectors' items.
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.
"If the assassination fragments are derived from three or more separate bullets, then a second assassin is likely, as the additional bullet would not be attributable to the main suspect, Mr. Oswald."
Note that they are actually saying that the results could have been wrong, not that they were wrong.

Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy, headed by George Herbert Walker Bush.

I have evidence that this woman
Known only as madam X in secret files is
responcible for JFK's demise.
Secret recording found on Zupruder film:
Madam X "So you had to (unintelligable) that woman last night."
JFK "I ah...I ahhh...well, you see..ah"
Madam X "You jerk!" At this point the car disappears behind a sign.
Modern xray technology shows Madam X smacks JFK in the throat.
(Emerges from sign)
JFK "Ga, ga, ga, AHHHH!
Madam X " I ought to shoot you, you two timing (unintelligable)
JFK "Let me explain..."
Madam X "Give me the clap will you, you slimey (unintelligable)
Single shot
Madam X "What are you laughing at Conley? Here's some for you."
