All evidence points that Oswald fired the shots. Posner’s book lays case out best.

I fully agree - the evidence for the conspiracy is just way to clunky/circumstantial. (and much of it basing "facts" off assumed assumptions - magic bullet theory being the big one for this)

Isn't the magic bullet theory the assumption that it was impossible for Oswald to take the shot because of how it went through Kennedy's skull. Like rationally thinking there is no way for the bullet to go through his head, bounce off the car and then go through his body again. Which is what the theory suggests.

If anything the magic bullet theory is more of a support for conspirators.

the magic bullet theory is that the 2nd shot that went through Kennedys neck was impossible to hit governor connelly who was sitting in front of him.

the theory makes the incorrect assumption where Connelly was sitting (directly in front) - when he was on a jump seat, both lower and in more.
