Combat-hardened ex-Marine and police sharpshooter
Craig Roberts, author of "Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey
Plaza", asked,
"How in the world could anyone look at that {Zapruder}
film and say that the fatal head strike had come from the rear?
The so-called experts who stated that the rearward jerk of Kennedy's
head was due to 'muscle reaction,' 'jet force from an erupting
bullet' or some other violation of the laws of physics, had obviously
never served in combat, where witnessing high-velocity bullet
strikes was commonplace...
"Some of the supporters of the Warren Commission...stated
that the bullet came from the rear because the eruption of brain
matter and blood came out of the front of the president's skull.
I saw something else. In a head shot, the exit wound, due to
the buildup of hydrostatic pressure, explodes in a conical formation
in the down-range direction of the bullet. Yet in the Zapruder
film, I could plainly see that the eruption was not a conical
shape to the front of the limo, but instead was an explosion
that cast fragments both up and down in a vertical plane, and
side to side in a horizontal plane. There was only one explanation
for this: an exploding or 'frangible' bullet. Such a round explodes
on impact--in exactly the manner depicted in the film."
Craig Roberts attempts the sniper's nest
duplication and fails:

 TITLE: Reasonable
Doubt: The Single-Bullet Theory
DESCRIPTION: Detailed examination of the controversy surrounding
one of history's most tragic events -- the assassination of John
F. Kennedy. Unlike most documentaries on the subject which provide
unsubstantiated 'solutions' to an unsolvable crime, Reasonable
Doubt goes back to the source of the controversy, the Warren
Commission's report on the assassination, in an attempt to answer
the mystery's most basic question: Was Kennedy killed by a lone
assassin or as a result of a conspiracy? 1988
TIME: 60.0 Minutes
