The Assassination was Sloppy and Amateurish

LOL. Your only response is that CE-399 struck 1 less bone, which kept it pristine. However, the evidence according to the WC says otherwise.
Here is a forensic analysis of the trajectory of CE-399 based on simple geometry and the WC report:
If CE-399 was a shot from the 6th floor of the TSBD at a 17-degree declination, and JFK's body was turned 17 degrees clockwise, with the missile striking JFK somewhere between frames 210 and 225 of the Z-film, marking his position between 138.9 and 153.8 feet from the base of the TSBD, then based on the autopsy photo, which the WC claims is authentic, CE-399 entered JFK's back ~2 inches right of the center of his spinal cord. The exit wound was positioned almost dead center out through his throat. This trajectory clearly passes through the spinal column:

But what vertebra? The original Boswell forensic diagram initially placed the back wound vertically at T2 or T3, which Ford subsequently relocated to C6.

Note where the bullet hole entrance was placed on JFK's jacket.

I question Ford's placement and will adhere to Boswell's estimate that CE-399 should be placed at T1 according to the autopsy X-ray provided by the WC:

Conclusion:
If you believe the evidence supplied by the WC to be accurate, then the Single Bullet Theory is compromised, which negates a valid trajectory from the 6th floor of the TSBD that entered JFK's back at the T1 vertebra and exited at C7/C6. This is based on evidence provided by the WC, which Ford definitively altered to cover up the conspiracy that Oswald was a lone nut assassin. Fact is, Oswald never even took a shot because he was in the lunch room at the time. Clearly he was just the patsy.

This is the axial section that you pasted a drawing of a vertebra onto it. Also, it's too low. The autopsists noted that the hemorrhage to pleural cavity was at the apex. However, the two dark spaces either side of the ersatz vertebra on your png show that this section was taken well below the apex. The location of the original throat wound can easily be seen in the autopsy photos to be roughly 1cm to the right of the midline. The exact location of that wound relative to the spine would also change somewhat depending on which direction JFK's head was turned and how much. We also don't know exactly how far from the centerline the back wound was, as the 5cm figure is an approximation. Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, the play was just fine.

This drawing is schematic in nature and was not intended to show precisely where the wound was. If you don't believe me, as Boswell. He has said so in the past.
Had a bullet hit JFK in the back at t3, it would have hit the scapula, a rib, and/or violated the pleura. None of these things occurred.

This shows an undisplaced fracture of the right transverse process. Had the vertebra been hit by a bullet, the fracture wouldn't have been undisplaced. It would be very displaced, in little pieces. Look at the x-rays of the Edgewood cadaver wrist test shots to see what a rifle bullet would do to a bone at 2000ft/sec. There would have also been a great deal of secondary damage as well, but this is not seen in JFK's case.
