The "two gun" advocates had relied heavily upon the 1970 findings of Pasadena Criminologist William W. Harper; using a Balliscan, a specialized camera used to photograph a cylindrical object rotated in front of it, he decided that the recovered Kennedy bullet had only one cannelure-a groove imprinted by the manufacturer - while the others had two concentric grooves. If so, that would at least raise the possibility...
