I don't think the author is meaning to say that a FMJ can't leave fragments, he's saying that the number and character of the fragments in JFK's neck (or head) isn't consistent with FMJ ammo. By which I assume he means that in a passage through soft tissue (as is allegedly the case with the passage through JFK's neck) the FMJ won't leave fragments.
By the time the bullet (of whatever type) has reached Connally's wrist, it has contacted at least 1 bone, and we should expect fragments.
One other possibility: Connally's bullet was FMJ, and Kennedy's bullets weren't.
