Back and to the Left
One main source of evidence that many go back to, to prove that Kennedy's assassination was a conspiracy rather than simply Oswald assassinating him was the body analysis afterwards. According to many people, kennedy was shot twice, from opposite directions rather than just once, which, if proved, would lead to the conclusion that it was a conspiracy rather then just Lee Harvey Oswald. 35 witneses claimed that the shots came from infrount of Kennedy, somewhere near the grassy knoll while 56 witnesses claimed that the shot came from behind Kennedy. Regardless of sististics, it was evident that there was constroversy regarding the assassination and weather it was Lee Harvey Oswald himself, or more than one person. "Back and to the left" is a statement that is used often by conspirators to prove that there was not only more than one shooter, but the fatal shot must have been shot from the grassy knoll in order to cause his head to go back, and to the left. [|Back and to the left]  The Warren Commission declared that it had been Lee Harvey Oswald who had killed John F. Kennedy, but there was evidence that conspiritors used to the contrary.

**The Harper Fragment**
One argument made by conspirators to prove that Kennedy was shot from the front, is the Harper Fragment Theory. This theory is about the Fragment Occipital Bone from the back of Kennedy's head.



The evidence used by most conspirators to back up the Harper Fragment Theory is:
 * 1) It is a bone on the back of the skull, proving that the back of the head was blown out which implies a shot from the front.
 * 2) The bone was found behind the limo at the position of the head shot, which would imply that the shot came from the front and bone flew backwards.

While this is just one argument of the hundreds of conspiracy theories, this is not one that is as persuasive as others. Thinking about it, if a piece of the ocipital lobe was found on the ground, behind the limo, a shot from the back of the head could have cause the fragment to land behind the limo. His head literally exploded with the fatal shot, debris covering the area front to back.
