Indeed anyone who thinks other wise has not fired very many firearms jacketed rounds will penetrate multiple bodies all day long especially higher velocity ones.
Even expanding rounds can over penetrate in fact it not a 100% guarantee that an expanding round will be able to expand at close range the velocity can be too high to allow for expansion in time.
Furthermore a single round can hit bone other solid object and deflect even shatter and the fragments can still be deadly for several feet.
All of that is highly likely to occur at the range Oswald fired from.
I must agree with Sailor Steve I have been shooting for years and I would not be able to tell by how the head and body reacted what direction a hit came from.I fail to see how being a shooter some how automatically make you an expert at how the human body reacts to bullets beyond the obvious facts like when a person is hit in the right place they drop like jello and in other places they lie down and die and others they crawl away and bleed out.
