That's an interpretation, one that can easily be demonstrated to be incorrect.

If it were correct, then believers would not be afraid to quote James Chaney accurately. I don't recall any debate on James Chaney where a believer accurately quoted James Chaney on where the shot came from. Even after the correct quote is supplied, believers can't seem to make use of it.

One shooter, a simple act of murder. Get over it.

This is the common tactic... proven wrong, instead of admitting that Chaney's testimony would not have been desired by the Warren Commission for good and valid reasons, you take to arguing that the closest Police eyewitness to the crime was wrong.

Without any ability to order his thoughts, and cross-examination to bring out essential points...

let's get back to the topic...

Here it is again:

And how exactly would he have done that Ben...?

Are you willing to admit that I answered your question in a credible and reasonable manner?

My guess, since you keep avoiding this, is that you aren't willing to admit that you learned something new... The Warren Commission knew what James Chaney would testify to - and he was simply too credible a witness to denigrate as they did with other eyewitnesses who reported things they didn't want on the record.

The testimony of James Chaney would have demolished the SBT - thus proving a second shooter.

If Connally was struck by a bullet that did not strike JFK first - then he was hit too soon for the Mannlicher Carcano to recycle... since it was demonstrated that the Carcano couldn't be recycled any faster than 2.3 seconds, and the extant Zapruder film shows Connally being struck less than 2.3 seconds after JFK.
