If Connally was trying to glance at JFK over his right shoulder around Z-180, I would expect to see him turn his head so the light from JFK could reach his eyes.
So that the light from JFK could reach his eyes?
I have no idea what you're talking about, Sir Isaac Newton.
You seem to be saying that if Connally was trying to do what I think he was trying to do around Z-180, he would have turned farther to his right than he did.
I think it's reasonable to assume that large-man Connally turned as far to his right as he could in the confined space in his attempt to catch a view of JFK out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't "see" (i.e., recognize) JFK out of the corner of said eye because JFK's head was also turned far to his right and because his right hand was raised to wave to someone and was, therefore, partially blocking Connally's (peripheral) view of his face.
Connally may have even thought that the reason he couldn't "see" JFK was because JFK had been hit and was down.
I think that's why he decided to turn back to his left to try to catch a glimpse of JFK over his left shoulder -- but unfortunately was hit by CE-399 before he could complete his pivot.
In his 11 December 1963 statement, Connally said he saw three buildings, including the Country Records building. Do you think he can see those buildings at z180? I don't see how.
I told you he (and Nellie, bless her pea-pickin' heart) was mixed up.
It sounds as though Connally conflated what he saw around Z-180 with what he saw after he was wounded by CE-399.
I guess intense pain and/or trauma can do funny things to one's memories.
As a well-known charismatic politician, it was second nature for Connally to project an aura of confidence and certainty, but in-so-doing he unfortunately misled a lot of people regarding the timing of Oswald's three shots.
