I am satisfied the JFKA has been solved

[Benjamin Cole]

Dr Shaw actually had various opinions on all the wounds. As did Drs. Gregory and Shire. Somewhat interesting reading.

He stated JBC mentioned seeing JFK wounded or in his words “injured” after the first shot:

Mr. SPECTER ­ Dr. Shaw, my next question involves whether you have ever had a conversation with Governor Connally about the sequence of events of the day he was shot? 

Dr. SHAW ­ Yes, we have talked on more than one occasion about this. The Governor admits that certain aspects of the whole incident are a bit hazy. He remembers hearing a shot. He recognized it as a rifle shot and turned to the right to see whether President Kennedy had been injured. He recognized that the President had been injured, but almost immediately, he stated, that he felt a severe shock to his right chest. He immediately experienced some difficulty in breathing, and as he stated to me, he thought that he had received a mortal wound.

Specter asked Dr Shaw if the bullet that passed through JFK without striking anything of substance could have caused all of JFK’s injuries.

Mr. SPECTER ­ Dr. Shaw, would you think it consistent with the facts that you know as to Governor Connally's wounds that he could have been struck by the same bullet which passed through President Kennedy, assuming that a missile with the muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet per second, a 6.5­millimeter bullet, passed through President Kennedy at a distance of 160 to 250 feet from the rifle, passing through President Kennedy's body, entering on his back and striking only soft tissue and exiting on his neck; could that missile have also gone through Governor Connally's chest in your opinion?

 Dr. SHAW ­ Yes, taking your description of the first wound sustained by the President, which I, myself, did not observe, and considering the position of the two men in the limousine, I think it would be perfectly possible for the first bullet to have passed through the soft tissues of the neck of President Kennedy and produced the wounds that we found on Governor Connally. 

Mr. SPECTER ­ Could that bullet then have produced all the wounds that you found on Governor Connally? 

Dr. SHAW ­ Yes, I would still be postulating that Governor Connally was struck by one missile

JN--

Yes, Shaw was open to the SBT, but was more inclined to JBC having been shot shot by a separate missile, and he was puzzled by the dorsal entry wound on JBC's wrist.

You can hold your wrist in front of your body, and try to present the dorsal (wristwatch) side to the chest. A lot easier to present the ventral side to the chest.

In general, I am dubious about the SBT, and suspect three separate shots struck JFK and JBC, and the latter two very closely spaced (time wise).

I wonder about the JBC wrist wound, and the GK smoke-and-bang show. Did a bullet from the GK strike JBC's wrist? I don't know.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

I am not inclined to the narrative that JFK was struck from the front.

AS for JFK's throat wound, I have drawn no conclusions. A richochet?

Maybe you already have, but if you have not, you should take the time to read the WC testimonies of Drs. Shaw, Gregory, and Shires. Each had two separate testimonies, and both are informative as to the questioning of what they thought happened. Especially Gregory and Shaw. Both had discussions with JBC about what occurred.

The velocity of the bullet and the resulting appearance of the wounds is what they used to form their opinion. Because of all of their war experience, the doctors have an excellent grasp of what a wound should look like based on the speed of the bullet and resulting evidence. The one thing they assessed was the thigh wound could not have had much energy left when the bullet hit in order for the bullet to actually have done so little damage or maybe it was a glancing strike but nobody ever took the time to explain the trajectories involved and they mention that as well.

The position of JBC’s hand seems to be a question based on what frame is being considered, how many shots were fired, and the shape of the wound as the bullet passed from one point to the next. These doctors are well aware of JBC’s belief of having been hit by a separate or second shot and are actively trying to include that information in their answers. When Specter is questioning them about just one missile having done all the damage, they do not have much of a problem with stating it could have caused all the wounds, especially when they realize the bullet wound shape in JBC’s back and the bullet is still at near top velocity and after the bullet had just passed through flesh in JFK’s neck and would have started to tumble. The shape of the wounds in the chest, wrist, and thigh and the speed of the bullet play a major role in shaping their opinions.

A lot of the doctors stated beliefs about the wrist wound is centered on the bullet tumbling chest out of his JBC’s and the bullet hitting JBC’s wrist sideways and then striking his thigh butt first.

JN-

Yes, I have read the WC and HSCA testimonies.

I think I am on solid ground when I say Dr. Shaw leaned towards a separate bullet striking JBC, and was puzzled by the dorsal entry wound to JBCs wrist.

Yes Shaw allowed the SBT was possible.

My views are roughly those of Shaw. The SBT strikes me as dubious, and the JBC wrist wound an oddity.

Also, if you look at Z-280, you will see the left profile of JBCs face, as he looks towards the rear of the limo. JBC has made a nearly 180-degree turn in his seat.

Yet by the reasoning of SBT, at this point JBC has already been shot through the chest by a large slug issued from a high-powered rifle, had his right wrist fractured, and the missile then buried itself in his left thigh.

After all that, JBC decides to turn around entirely in his seat and check on JFK...so says the SBT.

In constrast, JBC says he was immediately incapacitated by the slug that struck him, and was pushed forward by the impact. Thats strikes me as believable.

For me, the SBT is iffy.

But hey, caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.
