William: You probably shouldn't base a significant leg of a conspiracy theory on the premise that "CE 399 was planted at Parkland." There are serious questions about the stretcher bullet's origin, chain of custody, and even its' shape. The single most important fact to remember about CE 399 is that the first four people to allegedly handle it could not or would not subsequently agree that CE 399 was the stretcher bullet.
It is far more likely that CE 399 was never in Dallas at all, but originated at the FBI shooting range.
It is unlikely that any whole bullet went into Connally's thigh. The wound is described by treating doctors as being caused by a bullet fragment.
The position of the microphone in 1978 doesn't answer my question. The problem with the acoustic evidence, beyond the other Trade Mart noises, Sheriff Decker's voice, and sirens on the tape, is that no police officer (especially H.B. McClain, the officer with the "stuck mike") in 1963 was at the proper position to record it at that time. The Dorman, Couch and Wegner films are pictures of his position, far to the rear of where the sounds could have been recorded. If you have done a serious study of this aspect of the case, you also know that H.B. McClain (AFTER listening to the recording) denied that that recording originated from his motorcycle.
