Hypothetical question

[John Corbett]

I am skeptical of Agent Landis' claim, 60 years after the fact, that he found the bullet and place it on a gurney. That seems like an odd thing to do. Surely he would have known that was a key piece of evidence and needed to be preserved. I know he probably wasn't an experienced crime scene investigator but even a layman would understand how important that was. Why did he wait 60 years to claim this? I don't think he lied about it. I think he just has a false memory of it.

I think he was jealous of Clint Hill's fame/notoriety and decided to make his role on that fateful day larger than it really was.

Both lied to cover their ass. Hung over from the night before.

Did that Z190 bullet (your CE 399)  stop in JC’s thigh? Because if it did not then how could CE 399 have been found on the stretcher presumably having fallen out of JCs leg while he was on the stretcher?

If it did stop in the  thigh, at 1500 ft/sec it should have been deeply buried in his thigh, which is contrary to the wound being described as a “shallow” wound.

Which is what occurred according to Dr. Shires, the surgeon who treated the wound. A fragment of lead was embedded in the femur as seen on both the lateral and frontal xray views.  Dr, Shires removed damaged tissue down to the region of the femur bone.  He thought it could have been a tangential strike by a large bullet moving at a fast velocity (6H106).

JFKs head was a spherical volume of skull bone and his head was leaning left when he was stuck in the upper right ( occipital parietal) area of the skull. It was nearly a tangential strike. It’s highly probable therefore that the Z313 bullet could fragment into several fragments which deflected upward enough  to hit the inside of the windshield , hit the chrome frame of the windshield and fly over the windshield.

The bullet was moving on a downward path. What did the fragments strike in the head that would have caused an upward deflection?
