Did Knott Laboratory Disprove the Single-Bullet Theory?

[Michael T. Griffith]

Fred, you might to check with your fellow lone-gunman theorists, because they have been trashing the Knott Lab trajectory analysis, but now you're saying it validates Myers' (bogus) analysis. The Knott Lab experts say the opposite. They say their unique, unprecedented trajectory analysis refutes the single-bullet theory. I quote:

Using a 3D laser scanner (Leica RTC360), we conducted 36 laser scans of Dealey Plaza. This laser scanner captures up to two million points per second and HDR imagery, resulting in a point cloud, or digital twin, of the scene. This provides forensic engineers with a scientifically accurate model from which measurements can be taken. The Dealey Plaza point cloud has over 851 million data points.

The next step was to reconstruct the scene to historic accuracy for November 22, 1963. To do so, our visualization experts used historic photographs of the plaza and presidential limousine, as well as the “Zapruder film,” which is widely considered the best video footage of the incident. Using a process called photogrammetry, the visualization team was able to place these images into the point cloud, syncing their locations within the scene. Altogether, 25 historic photographs and 7 frames of the Zapruder film were used for this photogrammetry. . . .

Photogrammetry, camera matching, camera tracking and object matching processes were also used to establish the location of Oswald’s perch, the correct dimensions of the limousine, create the digital models of President Kennedy and Governor Connally, and establish their positions, frame by frame, throughout the incident. . . .

For the single bullet theory to be true, the shooting position, bullet exit point on President Kennedy, and entry point on Governor Connally should all be reasonably in line. When drawing this line from the sixth-floor perch of the Texas Book Depository to the positions of the two men and their entry/exit points, we found a significant difference in both distance and angle.

And:

To reconstruct the scene with modern technology, the Knott Laboratory experts conducted a high-definition laser scan of Dealey Plaza to generate a point cloud of up to two million points per second, to accurately measure point-to-point anywhere in the scene. Knott Laboratory also obtained historic photographic evidence from the plaza, the limousine, and the “Zapruder film,” which is widely known as the best video footage of the incident in its entirety.

From this point cloud, the team of forensic engineers was able to match images from the scene and the Zapruder film using a process called photogrammetry. They modeled the presidential limousine using multiple photographs and established the correct dimensions of the vehicle. Through a process called match moving, they synced frames from the Zapruder film into the digital recreation of the scene. The match moving enabled the alignment of the digital models of Kennedy and Connally in the vehicle to establish their positions frame by frame throughout the incident. . . .

“With the ability to measure distances, locations and angles from the point cloud, we could develop the exact trajectory between Oswald’s shooting position and points on each body,” said Stanley Stoll, CEO & Principal Engineer of Knott Laboratory. “Our team tested bullet trajectories using the two frames from the Zapruder film where the first shots occurred and the known entry and exit points on Kennedy and Connally.”

Stoll continued, “The shooting position, bullet exit point on President Kennedy, and entry point on Governor Connally should all be reasonably in line. When drawing this line from the sixth floor perch of the Texas Book Depository to the positions of the two men and their entry/exit points, we found a significant angle difference.

Here's an interview with one of the Knott Lab experts:

I notice you said nothing about the fact that we know the SBT is false because the photographic evidence proves that any bullet exiting the shirt slits would have had to go through JFK's tie knot and that no such bullet could have magically weaved around the body of the knot and nicked the knot's outer surface inward from the left edge. Not on this planet.

In addition, the hard physical evidence of the rear JFK clothing holes proves the SBT is impossible, since the holes prove that the back wound was well below the throat wound.

Moreover, we have known since the 1990s, largely thanks to ARRB disclosures, that on the night of the autopsy, the autopsy doctors positively, absolutely established that the back wound was shallow and had no exit point, which is why the first two drafts of the autopsy report said nothing about the throat wound being an exit point for the back wound.

Since he was holding his hat by its brim so low in the limousine that it can't be seen in this photo, it's no wonder CE-399 penetrated the back side of his wrist.

Comrade Storing,

Of course it did.

Point being?

RS-

Yes, Gov. JBC's surgeons believed a projectile entered the "dorsal" (wristwatch side) of his right wrist, fractured the bone, and then exited the "ventral" side.

Surgeon Shaw thought that wound-pattern indicated a separate projectile had struck JBC's wrist. Shaw thought the SBT could have happened, but leaned towards JBC being struck by a separate shot from JFK, and was additionally puzzled by JBC's wrist wound.

You can sit in you chair and try to face the dorsal and ventral side of your wrist to your chest. It takes a bit of contorting to get the dorsal side to face your chest. 

Even CT'ers seem little informed about these oddities regarding JBC's wounds. (In truth, most CT'ers prefer to chase ideologically informed narratives that comfortably explain the JFKA in its entirety, not hard facts).

I lean to towards more than one shooter on 11/22. But given that no one has ever determined who LHO's confederates or manipulators were...who knows who they were.

I suspect a very small plot, possibly two Alpha 66'ers, or G2'ers.

Suspicions, like allegations and accusations, are not facts.

Gov. JBC appears to showing the exit point of the projectile that struck his wrist. The slug exited the ventral side of his wrist.

Allegedly.
