It did move forward, for a split second, then snapped back. It's definitely possible for an object hit by a bullet to travel backwards along the bullet's path:

Oswald scored "very good" in the Marines at a range of 200 yards. His scorebook showed a 48/50 accuracy on one occasion and 49/50 on another. Kennedy was a mere 88 yards away from the Book Depository window. That, coupled with the fact you or I don't know if he never picked up a rifle again until Dallas, is more than enough to make it plausible that he could've hit his target on one of three attempts. Don't forget that three shots were fired, too. The first was a complete miss, the second got him in the throat, and the third was the kill shot. I would think if he were more practiced, only one shot would've been needed.

This is extremely suspect. So you believe Jackie was in on the conspiracy, and she actually had the presence of mind to go retrieve part of the skull (which wasn't there) within a couple seconds of her husband being head shot right next to her? C'mon.

What about them?
