Reasonable Doubts?

JN--

I think you are correct on this matter.

JN:

I was thinking of ---

AI:  Dr. John Nichols of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, shared this skepticism. Dr. Nichols conducted his own ballistic and biological simulations by shooting through human bones and wrists to test the physics of the single-bullet theory. He pointed out that the shattering of the distal radius bone and the severing of the radial nerve should have caused the governor to immediately lose his grip on his white Stetson hat.

(Never rely on memory, and I mixed up Gregory and Nichols. Dr. Gregory was certain the slug entered Gov. JBC's wrist from the dorsal (wristwatch) side.  That presents an anatomical curiosity, as you can see for yourself, by wearing a wristwatch and trying to press the face of the watch against your chest).

How does shooting through the wrist bones of a deceased human being prove JBC would have dropped his had when he was struck in the wrist?

JC:

I suspect there was a dearth of live volunteers for such an experiment.
