      No it isn’t.

      Why did the first round put a hole in his neck and the second one blow his head apart?

        There’s a channel called Lemmimo that did a pretty interesting documentary on it that explains it. Also explains a lot of the reasoning behind popular conspiracies and why some of them are obvious bunk. Dude is very talented only came across the video a couple days ago due to his music he made for the video.

        This as all been explained. I’m not a ballistics expert so I can’t give you the details. But they have recreated these wounds exactly with ballistic gel and a recreation of the vehicle. No magic bullet nonsense. All straight shots into a moving vehicle and the difference in wound height of the two victims is explained by the fact that one was in a fold down jump seat that sat lower. One shooter, one rifle.

          What are you even talking about a magic bullet for?

          It is a simple question of ballistics, entrance wounds vs exit wounds.

          First shot into the upper back does not match the second shot into the skull.

          Wouldn’t he have a gaping hole either in his upper back or throat similar to the damage done to his skull?

          The second shot doesn’t match the first that’s always been the question

            Take a screwdriver and stab ballistic gel. Then take a screwdriver and, with the same force, stab an ice cube. Notice a difference in how the substance responds to the force?

            It’s quite possible not to encounter anything hard (bone) going through a neck or chest. A skull not so much.

        A friend’s brother, who was in forensics, explained it to me like this:

        If a head gets hit by a bullet, the shockwave op the bullet traveling through the brain can bounce off the skull and blow back out the entry wound (and make the head snap backwards instead). I gotta go with that as he’s the most relyable source I’ve spoken to myself.
