One of the most interesting takes I saw was the theory that after the second shot, the secret service agent in the car behind, stood up and accidentally fired his high powered weapon hitting Kennedy. The autopsy procedure has a lot of controversy as well.
Yes I saw that on TV. Makes sense. Oswald was taking pot shots from the book depository and one of his bullets may have grazed Kennedy but the fatal shot came from the panicked secret service agent. For security reasons it then makes sense the whole "muck up" would have been covered up and that's what Oswald was ranting about being a patsy as he knew he didn't fire the fatal shot that killed Kennedy.
In addition the embarrassment re: the level of intel the CIA and FBI had on Oswald mean't they were clearly negligent in their duty in not preventing the shooting - I suspect they were busy burying and burning evidence before the Warren commission that implicated the agencies in not doing enough (basically protecting their own)
What this theory doesn't explain is i) why Jack Ruby killed Oswald ii) how the governer of Texas was shot (magic bullet theory) and iii) why Jackie Kennedy-Onassis kept quiet about where the shooting came from?
