Here is a cropped portion of the photo taken by the Warren Commission of JFK's suit jacket. A 600 dpi high quality J-peg computer file of the original Warren Commission photograph was purchased from the National Archives. The J-peg computer file was placed into a computer program called Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. The brightness and contrast was lightened so the fabric could be properly examined.
There has never been a discussion like this on any Internet website, forum or blog. This first ever discussion has never taken place before this posting because a high quality J-peg file of JFK's suit jacket as photographed by the Warren Commission has never been examined after being inserted into a computer photo program such as Corel Paint Shop Pro. This thread creates a whole new phase of investigating the Kennedy incident on Elm Street.
Analysis of JFK's Suit Jacket
When a bullet enters an upright or horizontal body wearing a shirt and suit jacket, the blood from the wound flows on the top of the skin in a downwards manner. The blood soaks into the shirt and then into the suit jacket thus leaving a dark stain.
The "official" bullet hole according to Warren Commission was in the upper mid section of the back area. However, there is no soaked blood stain below or around the bullet hole. The only logical conclusion is the bullet hole is a fake and created after JFK departed Elm Street.
In contrast to the fake bullet hole, is a round dark area that is the result of airbrushing a real bullet hole present on the upper right shoulder area?
Is the corresponding dark area below the round bullet hole shaped area a soaked blood stain?
What are the odds that a shadow and/or wrinkle could form the same shape as a bullet hole with a soaked blood stain below the small round area? Beyond astronomical.
But most importantly, key eyewitness statements corroborate the dark area on the right shoulder of JFK's suit jacket. Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman who sat in the passenger seat of the presidential limousine was questioned by the FBI on November 27, 1963. The key statement by the FBI agent in his report was:
...he observed President Kennedy with his left hand in back of him appearing to be reaching to a point on his right shoulder.
Kellerman made a lot of false, unsubstantiated or incomplete statements during his Warren Commission testimony but his statement to the FBI is corroborated by the bullet hole and soaked blood stain on JFK's jacket. Any and all statements made by the Secret Service agents are determined as true or false depending upon the presence or absence of physical evidence, photos of the physical evidence and corroborating eyewitness testimonies.
The bullet hole and soaked blood stain on the right shoulder of JFK's suit jacket and Kellerman's statement to the FBI are corroborated by numerous Elm Street eyewitness who either stated JFK's right arm slipped off the side of the car or he slumped into his seat. None of these eyewitness saw JFK grab for his throat as falsely depicted in the faked Zapruder film. If JFK had been shot in the mid back area and the bullet exited his throat as claimed by the Warren Commission:
1. There would have been no bullet hole and blood stain on the right shoulder of JFK's suit jacket
2. Roy Kellerman would have not seen JFK reach for a point on his right shoulder.
3. The Elm Street eyewitnesses would not have seen JFK's arm slip off the side of the car and JFK slump into his seat.
A bullet hole slamming into JFK's mid back area would have propelled his body forward while his right arm would have not slipped off the side of car and he would have not slumped into his seat
The Warren Commission photo, Kellerman's FBI statement and the Elm Street eyewitness statements are the "triangle" corroborative foundation for the conclusion that JFK was shot in the right shoulder as he grabbed for his right shoulder with his left hand and simultaneously slumped into his seat. Not one eyewitness located outside the presidential limousine corroborated the event of JFK being struck in the middle back area and the bullet exiting out his throat.
Additional Corroboration
John Costella compiled a library of quotes by eyewitnesses on Elm Street stating they observed JFK slump into his seat. Costella nicknamed JFK's slump in the seat of the presidential limousine as the "chicken dance" in his lectures and written presentations. The only motion JFK could have done after being shot in the shoulder was to slump in his seat. JFK would not have slumped into his seat had he been shot in the mid back area and the bullet exited out his throat.
Another portion of Kellerman's statement to the FBI and to the Warren Commission also provides another corroboration that JFK was shot in the upper right shoulder. According to the FBI report and his Warren Commission testimony, Kellerman heard JFK shout "My God, I'm Hit!" in his distinct Boston accent after the first shot was fired.
Parkland Hospital medical doctor Robert McClelland held open the bullet hole throat wound of the second victim removed from the presidential limousine with an surgical instrument as the other doctors completed the tracheotomy. Dr. McClelland was asked the following question during a recorded three hour interview:
"Could any human whisper nevertheless shout any kind of words with that bullet wound to the throat?"
McClelland's answer
"Impossible"
How can a person with such a dire throat wound shout "My God, I'm Hit?"
The only logical answer is because the first bullet did not strike JFK in the back & throat but as the corroborating evidence states above, JFK was shot in the upper right shoulder.
