...constructed to bolster their contention that the assassination was a consummately scripted plot. One such thesis is that a sniper-not necessarily Lee Harvey Oswald-fired at the President from the Texas School Book Depository at the very moment that one or several other assassins fired from the grassy knoll overlooking the highway...
...have struck him from the front. Much of the debris from the wound, moreover, landed to the rear of the car, again an indication to Thompson of an oncoming bullet. After talking to various eyewitnesses, Thompson decided that one assassin had been posted behind the fence on the grassy knoll, a second on top of the Dallas County Records Building. The other two shots came from the sixth floor of the Texas Depository-but not from Oswald. Two other assassins had done the shooting; Oswald was the fall guy. The Warren Commission concluded that one assassin had fired three shots...
...case, Marcus's evidence is simple, perhaps deceptively so. The first of his "images"--discovered by a man named David Lifton from Los Angeles--are in a picture of the legendary grassy knoll.

Although the other three images are more questionable, Marcus...

Motion-picture film shot by Orville Nix, one of the three known amateur photographers who recorded the assassination, had made it appear to some eyes that a rifleman lay on a raised object atop the knoll. United Press International bought the film from Nix and persuaded Massachusetts' Itek Corporation, which specializes in sophisticated photographic equipment and photographic-analysis processes, to find out what Nix's camera really captured. Employing advanced methods that were not available to the Warren Commission, Itek concluded in a 55-page report that 1) no one could be discerned on the suspect area...
