In a message dated 12/9/2009 2:13:02 PM Eastern Standard Time, a
person interested in the JFK case wrote this to me via e-mail:

That question is one that nobody can really answer with 100%
certainty. But one thing is a certainty: CE399 is a bullet that was
fired in Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle, and it is a bullet that was found
inside the hospital where the two limo victims (JFK & John Connally)
were taken on 11/22/63.*

* = Notwithstanding, of course, the continual claims by conspiracy
theorists of bullet-planting or substituting with respect to
Commission Exhibit 399. But please do consider this important fact:
Both the Warren Commission AND the HSCA (comprised chiefly of lawyers)
had no problem at all accepting CE399 as the bullet that went through
the bodies of both Kennedy and Connally.

Shouldn't the above fact carry at least SOME weight with conspiracy
theorists when it comes to the subject of: IS CE399 A LEGITIMATE
BULLET IN THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION?

Or do most conspiracy theorists actually and truly believe that BOTH
the Warren Commission AND the House Select Committee on Assassinations
(which existed 14 years apart from one another) were so evil and so
corrupt (or were just plain stupid, in unison) that each of those
official agencies would accept the very important piece of physical
evidence known as CE399 as a REAL PIECE of evidence, even though
(according to many conspiracy theorists) that bullet never touched
even one of the victims on November 22, 1963?

That's food for CE399 thought...isn't it?

Let me add one more thing regarding Bullet CE399 and its "clean"
status (this being a quote from lawyer and author Vincent Bugliosi):

      "One can only wonder why Commission Exhibit No. 399 did not have
any blood residuum on it. My only guess is that the blood traces that
must have been on it were removed by someone early on at the...crime
lab or elsewhere almost as a matter of course. In all the evidence
bullets I handled in court in murder cases during my prosecutorial
career, none had any visible blood on them. ....

      "Interestingly, [the FBI's Robert] Frazier testified that with
respect to the two main bullet fragments found in the presidential
limousine [CE567 and CE569], "there was a very slight residue of blood
or some other material adhering, but it did not interfere with the
examination. It was wiped off to clean up the bullet for
examination"." -- Vincent Bugliosi; Page 425 of "Reclaiming
History" (Endnotes)(c.2007)
