It seems to me that to accept that Kennedy's two wounds (other than the head wound) were made by the same shot, all one has to accept is that the doctors at Bethesda were inexperienced in doing post mortems on gunshot victims, which they admit they were. Thus the failure to dissect the bullet track or get a probe through the track, as well as the confusion about entry vs. exit wounds.

To accept that they were made by two different shots, you have to accept one of the following things:

1) The two bullets remained in Kennedy's body, but went completely undetected.

2) There were two other wounds (both exit wounds) that none of the examining physicians noticed.

3) The two bullets were removed by some person or persons unknown, without anyone noticing that it happened. How it was accomplished, and why the conspirators would take such a risk, are exercises left to the reader.

4) Both wounds were made by non-penetrating, evaporating bullets that were chosen by the assassins over other types of ammunition that could actually cause fatal damage.

Personally, I can't place very high credibility on any of those possibilities. I'd like to know which of them turbonium accepts (and why), or if he has another hypothesis I haven't considered.
