Twenty points of evidence indicating LHO killed JFK

[Tom Graves]

I don't have an answer to how JBC received his wrist wound.

JBC holding his hat Z-272 (see below): JBC's wrist appears uninjured.

This does not line up with JBC being shot at the same time as JFK, back ~Z-222.

Where's Jake Maxwell when we really need him?

Let's see if this helps...

Yes, it is blurry, but that is Gov. JBC clutching his white Texas stetson a Z-272. No sign of blood.

You can also see that JBC has made a 180-degree turn in his chair to check on JFK. He does not appear to be injured.

Full disclosure: Nellie Connally said her husband was holding onto his hat all the way to and into Parkland, in his right hand, the one with a bullet that passed through the wrist, and fracturing it.

That may be a bit of "Texas lore," but she said it.

Draw your own conclusions.

I'm surprised you're so ignorant on this issue.

ME: Which nerve in Governor Connally's hand was damaged during the assassination of JFK?

GROK: A superficial (dorsal) branch of the radial nerve in Governor John Connally's right wrist was partially cut or damaged by the bullet.

Key Details from Medical Records and Testimony

The bullet entered the dorsal (back) side of his right wrist (thumb side), shattered the distal radius bone, and exited on the palm side. This path damaged nearby structures, including a partial transection of a dorsal branch of the radial nerve and a tendon leading to the thumb.

Dr. Charles F. Gregory (the orthopedic surgeon who operated on the wrist) noted this during the procedure. The Warren Commission Report explicitly references the "partial cutting of a radial nerve and tendon" as evidence that the bullet was already tumbling/yawed (not pristine), as it caught and tore these structures rather than pushing them aside.

Why This Specific Nerve?

The radial nerve runs along the thumb side of the forearm/wrist. Its superficial dorsal branch is primarily sensory (providing feeling to the back of the hand and thumb area) and was affected here.

This was not a major motor branch, so it didn't significantly impair grip strength or overall hand function long-term—explaining why Connally could continue holding his hat after the impact (via reflexive grip and adrenaline, plus the fracture itself not fully preventing it).

Outcome

The injury caused some stiffness and limited rotation in his wrist (he mentioned this in later interviews), but it was not a permanent major disability. Small metal fragments remained in the wrist, and there was a brief post-op infection.

The median and ulnar nerves were presumed intact (no clear damage noted).

This detail comes directly from the surgeons' operative reports, X-rays, and Warren Commission testimony. It has been cited in discussions of the single-bullet theory to address claims that a shattered wrist would have immediately caused him to drop the hat.
