The Truth Behind JFK's Assassination. On November 2. 9, 1. President Lyndon Johnson directed the Warren Commission to “evaluate all the facts” in the brutal November 2. John F. Kennedy, on a downtown Dallas street in broad daylight. Reduced to its bare essentials, the investigation sought answers to three fundamental questions: Who, why and how?“Why” was entirely contingent on “who,” and that depended on “how.” Thus, the linchpin of the Warren Report—and every subsequent investigation—has always been precisely how Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza.

That is the finding from which all the important answers flow; mishandle that question and the credibility of the entire report is undermined. The Warren Commission’s bungling of “how” is a primary reason why there have been so many residual doubts and conspiracy theories over the past 5. In the 1. 96. 4 Warren Report, just seven pages (of 8. Three spent cartridges were found in the sniper’s nest on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, corroborating the testimony of most ear- and eyewitnesses that three shots were fired. But after 1. 0 months of investigation, the report did not present a compelling explanation of the sequence; instead it offered up three slightly different scenarios.

In each, one of the bullets fired by Lee Harvey Oswald fatally hit Kennedy in the head; another struck and passed through the president before hitting Texas Governor John Connally; and the third shot fired by Oswald…well, the commission could not say where that bullet went or even when it was fired. Depending on which of the three scenarios one favored, the total time span of the assassination ranged from as little as 4. Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now President John F.

Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and Texas Governor John Connally ride through the streets of Dallas prior to the assassination on Nov. Corbis The story of how the Warren Commission fumbled this pivotal question is long and convoluted, and only the barest outline can be presented here. The saga involved not just the lawyer- dominated commission and staff but also the FBI, the Secret Service and the media, primarily the then- mighty Time Inc.

The crucial element, of course, was the most famous movie ever taken by a cameraman, the 2. Zapruder film. Composite of photos taken by Secret Service re- staging NARA As the Bullets Struck..

In 1. 96. 3, Abraham Zapruder was the 5. Dallas dress manufacturing company, Jennifer Juniors, and an avid amateur filmmaker.

Yet he didn’t bring his top- of- the- line home movie camera to work on November 2. Watch The Long Ships HD 1080P. Only after his secretary suggested he would regret not capturing JFK on film—after all, how often is a president less than a block away?—did Zapruder dash home to fetch his Bell & Howell Zoomatic.

An important fact to realize is that the film he shot that day consists of two parts. The first segment, 1. Zapruder stopped recording the advance escort because he did not want to run out of film. He restarted his camera only after he clearly saw Kennedy acknowledging the crowd from a gleaming blue stretch limousine. Thus, the 1. 9 seconds of Zapruder film everyone is familiar with begin at frame 1. Lincoln Continental had already negotiated the sharp turn onto Elm Street, putting it about 7. Figure 2. The FBI and the Secret Service swiftly got copies of Zapruder’s footage, which seemed destined to be a key exhibit in the upcoming trial of Oswald, arrested 7.

Kennedy was shot for killing a police officer while fleeing downtown Dallas. But the film’s role abruptly changed on November 2. Jack Ruby, murdered Oswald as the accused assassin was being transferred to the Dallas County jail. In the absence of a cathartic, public trial in Dallas, the Zapruder film displaced Oswald’s view from the sixth- floor window; a partial but mesmerizing visual record had to stand in for seeing the assassination through Oswald’s eyes, and hearing it described in his words. The assassination, in fact, was becoming “fused with one representation, so much so that Kennedy’s death became virtually unimaginable without Zapruder’s film,” as the critic Richard B.

Woodward put it in 2. The limousine carrying mortally wounded President John F. Kennedy races toward the hospital seconds after he was shot in Dallas, Nov. Justin Newman/AP Well before investigative agencies had their say, the notion that Zapruder had captured the assassination in full was put forward by a very self- interested party: Time Inc., which had snapped up all rights to the film. Thirty- one black- and- white stills from the footage appeared in the November 2.

Time’s flagship publication, Life, along with an article titled “Split- Second Sequence as the Bullets Struck.” The following week, Life exploited its exclusive control over the film to publish an article rebutting rumors about “the presumed difficulty of firing three accurate shots in the time Oswald had.” In “End to Nagging Rumors: The Six Critical Seconds,” the magazine asserted that the film provided “a frame- by- frame chronology of events [making it] possible to reconstruct the precise timing…of the shots.” The article even specified the frames in which bullets could be seen hitting President Kennedy in the upper back, Governor Connally in the back and the president in the head, all within the span of 6. That Zapruder had caught the entire sequence from beginning to horrific end was the position Life staked out and has never budged from, judging from the essays in a lavishly illustrated, $5. This interpretation of the evidence proved almost indelible. The fact that Life was America’s biggest weekly magazine in 1. It was nothing less than America’s image of itself, the mighty colossus in a media landscape where television was still struggling to prove its bona fides as a serious medium.

Life] was People magazine before there was a People magazine,” as media critic Daniel Okrent once observed. It was 6. 0 Minutes and the Today show and the [networks’] evening news all rolled into one.” The two post- assassination issues of Life sold out so quickly—copies of the 2. Time Inc. printed a special memorial edition of 3 million copies. Life’s explanation fit so neatly with the account that Connally broadcast nationwide from his Dallas hospital bed that even the FBI was promptly “Zaprudered”—so mesmerized by the footage that it lost perspective. Merely seeing should not be believing, yet the bureau accepted Life’s claim that the film was a full time- clock of the shooting sequence. In its January 1.

Warren Commission, the bureau confidently declared that according to “a motion picture taken.. Abraham Zapruder… The best estimate of the time interval of the shots fired is that approximately six seconds elapsed from the first to the final shot, with the second shot occurring approximately in the middle.” Figure 3 is a model of Dealey Plaza the FBI built; the strings depict the FBI’s sequence and spacing of the shots. The Warren Commission staff, to its credit, did not rubber- stamp Life’s analysis.

It came to realize that the president and the governor had been wounded in such a brief time span that Oswald could not have worked the bolt action on his Mannlicher- Carcano rifle to fire two shots so quickly and accurately. Consequently, the staff theorized that there were either two shooters, or one of the bullets hit both men. The latter seemed more plausible, in part because Oswald had used military ammunition designed to pass through people.
