Craig Roberts's Achievements

  1. The problem is not whether the south knoll could be used, it is what evidence do we have on where the shots came from. JFK's head shot came from the front, a bit to the right. The Limo was not quite at the turn to go under the underpass so was going due west when the final headshot occurred. The skull piece was blown out to the rear and to the left (south) and landed on the hood of the car, and the left rear motorcycle rider was showered with blood and bits of flesh. This shot could not have come from the south or southwest. CR that's right Ron, the limosine would be moving directly toward a south knoll shooter, but a grassy knoll shooter would have had an oblique angle (and probably would have hit Jackie) Tosh Plumlee, a respected member of the Forum, testified to a South Shooter, and I think the emphasis on Zapruder, the fence and the Bookstore Depository are red herrings. The main sniper was forward and to the left and escaped unnoticed..............
