My response was that CE-399 did not strike T1 and that it struck Connally's rib at a velocity that was much reduced from the velocity it was travelling as it passed by C7. The bullet was not pristine. The evidence according to the WC does not say otherwise.
LOL, more denialism. The X-ray absolutely demonstrates that CE-399 smashed through T1 exactly as my overhead graphic implies. You know you've lost the argument when you resort to semantics. Compared to the severely deformed fragments CE-567 and CE-569, CE-399 was indeed pristine, which was clearly planted on the wrong stretcher without a trace of blood, flesh, or bone on it. You are not a serious proponent of the SBT if you do not acknowledge the dubious provenance of CE-399. Will you never learn?
That's the T1 vertebrae, is it not? The single bullet passed above that level. You need to find an image of C7. Keep in mind that the C7 vertebrae is about 2 inches from the tip of the left transverse process to the tip of the right transverse process.
Like Ford, you at least recognize that T1 is too low for the SBT to be plausible. If you think that the autopsy photo and the X-ray photo show an entry wound at C7, then your slip is showing. Besides, even if you move the entry wound up to C7, you need it to go up to C6 for it to exit at C7. You suck at geometry.
* Note that providing the X-ray photo is authentic, then it represents the holy grail of the CE-399 trajectory
Use that as a guage for placing the wound 2 inches to the right of the midline. Your right rotation of Kennedy's torso looks to be about right. However, you haven't accounted for his head being turned about 60 degrees to the right. That turn rotates the C7 vertebrae by a few degrees. It also moves his trachea to the right. Perhaps as much as an inch. With a lateral angle of 9 degrees the bullet would have exited Kennedy about 1 inch to the right of his midline. Contrary to what you claim, the exit wound was not positioned almost dead center out through the throat. Viewing from the back, it exited to the right of the midline.
Actually, the bullet hole exited slightly to the left of the midline, which means it smashed through more of the T1 vertebra, not less. Have a look at the bullet hole through JFK's shirt collar.
http://www.kohlbstudio.com/Images/JFK_shirt.jpgThe facesheet placed the wound 14 cm below the tip of the right mastoid process. The dot was not meant to be accurate. Ford did not relocate the wound to C6.
Boswell backtracked as instructed by Ford. Ford's only statement described the placement of JFK's back wound as entering the back of his neck and exiting through the lower front portion of his neck. This implies that Ford placed the back wound above C7 at C6.
Did you notice where Boswell placed the "X" above his original estimate, which was still below C6, where Ford placed it? Note that Boswell placed the X BELOW the collar. Note where the bullet exited relative to the collar button at C7. Clearly, the entrance wound was placed BELOW the exit wound, which is impossible if fired at a 17-degree declination from the SN.
The jacket was bunched up.
Correct, which brought the back wound up from T4/T5 as shown on CE-59 up to T1 as shown on the X-ray autopsy photo.

There was no Ford placement. The wound was always in the neck. The autopsy report has the bullet traversing downward through the supra-scapular and supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck. Humes testified that the wound was in the lower neck.
LOL, you are quoting a co-conspirator who performed post-mortem surgery on JFK in secret to cover up a bullet wound, which was an entrance wound, and then burned all his notes.
http://www.kohlbstudio.com/Images/postsurgery.jpgWhy would you rely on testimony from co-conspirators when the WC provided autopsy photos clearly showing the position of the bullet wounds on JFK? Is it because the assassination was sloppy and amateurish with no attention to detail? Or was it because the WC did not anticipate the level of scrutiny the evidence would receive?
Will you never learn anything? I guess so.
