ejazzyjeff The computer animation shows Kennedy's knees right up against the seat in front of him, the still photograph shows that is not true - there is plenty of space, and so the animation is flawed. .Please see the Bob Harris video.
This is when we first see Kennedy - he has already been shot - he is moving his hands upward towards his neck. This is a biggie- it shows that a road sign was in the way and blocking the view of the precise moment of the shot.
This means that we do not know the exact position of the car when that shot happened and so Myers can not put the vehicle in the "exact" position for his computer animation.
Zapruder frame covered in video Reasonable Doubt: The Single Bullet Theory, Dr. Wecht explained that, for the case against Oswald alone to hold up, one bullet had to hit the President and the Governor,
Kennedy is reacting to a bullet, but notice that the Governor who would have that bullet damage his rib and shatter his wrist, is still holding the hat in his hand. Dr. Wecht explained that the nerve to have the Governor hold the hat in said fashion was shattered. Notice the caption reads " Kennedy clutches his throat. Connally says he still felt nothing"
Interesting article on this web page

President Kennedy, according to the Commission, was out of Zapruder’s sight behind a road sign when the first bullet hit him in the neck, and the film seems to confirm it. He was out of sight for 18 frames — one second. No one can say for sure in which of them he was hit. Governor Connally, according to the Commission, was hit at the same time as the President — and therefore also out of view.
Connally testified to the Commission that it happened otherwise: “I heard this noise which I immediately took to be a rifle shot. I instinctively turned to my right… but I did not catch the President in the corner of my eye… Failing to see him, I was turning to look back over my left shoulder… but I never got that far in my turn. I got about in the position I am now facing you, looking a little bit to the left of center, and then I felt like someone had hit me in the back.”
Mrs Connally was even more specific in her testimony. “I heard… a frightening noise, and it came from the right… I turned over my right shoulder… and saw the President as he had both hands at his neck… He made no utterance, no cry. Then, very soon, there was the second shot that hit John.”
The Governor and his wife always maintained that he was not hit by the same bullet which struck the President. Connally said in one of his interviews they can't run enough tests to make him believe him otherwise.
The Commission chose to disbelieve their observations.
