The deformation of CE-399 adds credibility to the SBT

[Tim Nickerson]

   Please watch the entire video. (1) The Bullet Enters the NECK (not the BACK), (2) The Bullet LEVELS off after exiting the throat, and (3) Gov Connally is leaning forward. Connally's back is not even close to the backrest.   And people want to argue with Knott Lab Forensic SCIENCE finding the SBT "Is Impossible"? This is what is required to do that. A Total Sham Presentation.

The video does have its flaws. The bullet entering the neck is not one of them.  It did enter the neck.  The video has Kennedy positioned rigidly and fully upright. It does not account for his hunchback physique, which gave him the appearance of being hunched forward. The video also has Connally leaning forward, which you have pointed out. It's not a total sham presentation though. If you want to see a total sham presentation, just watch the one created by Knott Lab.

  The "Best Evidence" is the JFK Autopsy BACK Photo. That photo clearly shows a bullet hole in JFK's BACK. This is why Rep Ford had to alter the written description of the wound. They thought the JFK Autopsy Photos would Not be publicly available for decades vs Gerry Ford's anatomically inaccurate written description being inserted into the soon to be released Warren Report at the last minute.

A test bullet does not have to duplicate the exact position and angle of a bullet in a forensic case to incur approximately the same amount of damage and loss of substance as the damage and loss alleged for the real-case bullet. Otherwise, experts would never bother conducting wound ballistics tests, not to mention the fact that you don't have most of the information about CE 399's alleged journey in the first place.

Dear Michael "Useful Idiot or Worse" Griffith,

It's not the "amount of damage and loss of substance" that's the critical issue, here, but the unusual location of said damage (or lack of same) that's exhibited by CE-399. In other words, the flattening of the rear 1/3 to 1/2 on one side, the longitudinal twist, the compression at its base, the loss of 3 to 4 grains of lead core, and the absence of damage to its nose.

If the boys at Edgewood Arsenal (or wherever) were to fire a trillion or so Carcano bullets through a trillion or so blocks of ballistics gel, they might get lucky and have one of them not only smash the rib of a pig or some such thing about three feet away, but then smash the radial bone of a corpse another couple of feet away and end up with a bullet damaged approximately the way I mentioned above (and, of course, with no damage to its nose).

It appears that the boys at Edgewood Arsenal (or wherever) were unable or unwilling to do that, though, and settled for the genius idea of firing bullets directly at cadavers' wrists, instead. Or did they fire them through an intervening bale of cotton first?

Bottom line: The fact that they were unable to even approximate the damage to CE-399 is circumstantial evidence that CE-399 wasn't fired directly into JBC's wrist.

It is nice to see that you have conceded that there was no large gaping wound on the back of Kennedy's head. Good on you.

Using the posterior autopsy view as a reference, place a mark on the lateral view at the level that you believe the non-fatal entry wound on Kennedy was.

  Stop playing games with the knee bone connected to the ankle bone stuff. The Autopsy Photo clearly shows a bullet hole in JFK's BACK.
   We know they pulled JFK's hair up over the Back of the Head wound. That's old hat.

Dear Comrade Storing,

You're confused by that photo because JFK was somewhat hunchbacked and rigor mortis had already set in.

    The Autopsy Photo of the Bullet Hole in JFK's BACK, matches the hole in his shirt and the hole in his coat. Case Closed!
