I too watched it all at the time. I too am still not convinced that Oswald acted alone. And I read all the books for many years, but not any more, so I missed any that would have accused Jackie of anything.

It was not known at the time about Jackie climbing out of the car. As stated by another poster, that was kept hush hushed - for years.

Also, the Zapruder film was not released to the public for many years. So the general public had no knowledge of what her reaction was.

By the way, if you ever visit Dallas, that museum, The Sixth Floor, is located in the Texas School Book Depository building. It is well worth the visit. You can stand and look out the very window where the shell casings were found down onto Dealy Plaza. I can remember that my reaction was that the area was much smaller than I had imagined it to be.

Very hard to believe the shot that blew blood and brains all over the motorcylce cop who was riding BEHIND the president would have come from behind rather than from in front.

When the bullet hit his head with such tremendous impact; I believe the "matter" could easily have splashed back toward the trajectory of the bullet.

People forget that the car was moving forward at the time and had started to speed up as the first shot had already been fired. The Zapruder film showed the brain matter clearly blowing out in front of JFK. But with the car moving, much of it would actually land towards the back of the car. Too many theories are created thinking he is sitting still, and he wasn't. The car was already on the move and starting to accelerate. That isn't shown very clearly in the jerky 8mm film Zapruder used, but it's a fact. It wasn't stationary, and matter takes time to fall.

I have visited The Sixth Floor Museum several times. It is because of those visits, actually being there and seeing it, that I am not convinced that Oswald was a lone shooter.

Although I have only been to the Museum once, many years after the assassination, I got the most terrible feeling. I was watching TV when it happened and was glued for many days, have watched many times throughout the years, read many books and seen the films. But when I was there, standing right there, I kept looking toward the grassy knoll. I staggered, my daughter had to grab my arm to steady me. We all know there are many things that are kept from us - for reasons we don't understand. I doubt if we will ever know everything while still on this earth.

A quote from a book published by the Cleveland Press in 1963.Mrs. kennedy starts to climb across the back of the car(top picture) to assist Hill, who has just put one foot on the bumper.Gov. and Mrs. Connally have fallen to the floor of the car.Clint Hill is on the rear deck of the car and Jacqueline Kennedy moves back into the seat to aid her husband. Rufus Youngblood (secret service) jumped on top of V.P.Johnson and his wife, ready to sacrifice his life for theirs. This last part from a book published by the Cleveland Plain Dealer 1963. There was mention on TV that Jacqueline had part of Johns brain in her hands.He was hit so hard the blood spattered 6 feet away,reported by a Policeman. I was 31 yrs.and remember that day,that weekend vividly.The books have actual photos of everything.I bought the books as I wanted my son aged 9 and future grandchildren to realize first hand what had happened.It was so very sad.. I know I prayed hard when President Reagan was shot....

"Four Days"~The Cleveland Press~compiled by United Press International.
"The Torch Is Passed" Cleveland Plain Dealer 1963."This book grew out of the work of many men and women both on our staff and on our members staffs who were on the streets of Dallas and Washington to report the four days in November which numbed a Nation and a World". I treasure these books. Nore

In the books I bought soon after the assasination one can actually see President Kennedys brain parts flying in the air towards the back.This also showed up on TV..Yes the car stopped at first but then sped up fast.
