Gov. John Connally Grips His White Stetson Hat at Z-272

Have you really convinced yourself of this nonsense. One look at frame Z271 should tell you that what you are claiming is impossible. It didn't happen because it couldn't happen. Not one in a million.

The path through JBC at z271 would be something like this:

except that the forearm is up higher and closer to the chest with the forearm wound in the path of the bullet exiting just below and medial to the right nipple where it is deflected slightly left and up.  The fifth rib is struck on entry and is bent (breaking near the spine) before the bullet passes through and destroys the last 10 cm of rib sending shards of bone into the lower lobe of the right lung. The bullet did not pass through the right lung and did not penetrate the chest wall - unlike a shot at z222 which would have had to pass through the chest wall and lung to exit where it did.

Yet here is Gov. JBC at Z-272 still holding onto the Stetson, after having been shot through the wrst (and the chest).:



Right hand is too high. Bullet goes thru the hat and JC has rotated almost 180 degree around. He would have been hit in the right arm not the back. That the way my eye sees it.

John Mytton, Where are you Superman LN? We need your measuring skills here Lol.

If his arm had been down, the bullet could have gone through the arm.  But with the arm up, it entered at the posterior edge of the right armpit.

Total nonsense. You don't have JBC turned nearly as far as he is in Z271, when his head has turned almost 180 degrees and he is almost facing Oswald.
Just look at the Z272 frame in the previous posts. JBC is in full profile and his shoulders are about 45 degrees to the path of the bullet. Your drawing would have to rotate both JBC's head and shoulders 90 degrees to be even close to accurate.

Even with the manipulated drawing you are forced to postulate  a magic bullet. The harder you try to save this turkey of a scenario, the worse it gets.
