The Wound In Gov. Connally's Back

[John Corbett]

The WC solved the assassination, huh?! Sure they did! Umm, and never you mind that we now know that three of the seven WC members did not buy several of the WC's key conclusions,

Which means 4 got it right and 3 got it partly right.

and never mind that the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that the WC's investigation was biased and poorly conducted, that two gunmen were involved, that the first hit on JFK occurred when Oswald's view of JFK would have been obstructed by the oak tree,

4 members of the HSCA dissented from the finding of a probable conspiracy which means the other 8 were idiots.

Huh?

PS: Cole's suggestion, that JBC was shot in the back while lying in Nellie's lap, is possibly the most preposterous thing ever posted on this forum...and that really is saying something.

I never suggested this.

Huuuh??

"So, if the Connallys are correct, when was JBC struck?

My best guess is sometime after Z-295, but before Z-313."


Sometime after z295?
JBC is lying back in Nellie's lap between z295 and z313
What do you mean you've never suggested he was shot in the back while he was lying in Nellie's lap?
That's exactly what you're suggesting.

JBC is not lying in his wife's lap at Z-295.

Tell us how somebody could have shot JBC in that back at that point without shooting through Nellie first. Maybe Mary Moorman's Polaroid was really a camera gun. Is it just a coincidence she took her picture at the precise moment JFK was shot in the head.

It's you who needs to review the Z-film.
Here's a very interesting version of it created by a guy named Ant Davison.
View it full screen and slowed down.
After being shot JBC turns to look at JFK over his right shoulder and then 'swoons' backwards into Nellie's lap as he looks skyward, just before the headshot.
By z295 he is 100% in this position.
Your assertion, that he is shot while in this position, is something the looniest Tinfoil Nutter would be proud of.
Maybe it's your belief that Nellie shot him in the back.

Doubtless you will continue to deny what is plain to the eye. This seems to be a tried and trusted technique.
Each to their own I suppose.

Here is a photo of the hole in the rear of Gov. JBC's assassination-day suit. The hole was also enlarged to test fibers for metallic traces.



To be sure, if JBC's back was not at a 90-degree angle to the entering bullet, then you get a tendency to some elliptical or ovoid shaping of the bullet hole, even if the bullet is not tumbling. Different cloths react differently to bullets.

This angle-of-entry is also why JBC had a north-south ovoid wound in his back. The bullet struck JBC on a downward path. Moreover, if JBC was leaning back at the time he was struck, the angle of entry would be even steeper, enlarging the original would.

Still, most convincing is the small round entry round hole in JBC's assassination day shirt. How a tumbling bullet squirted through that small round hole in JBC's shirt is...well, a reasonable question. 

My take is Gov. JBC was struck by a straight, unimpeded shot from the TSBD6 sniper window, or close thereto, and that is also the sentiment of his surgeon, Dr. Robert Shaw. 

But hey, each to his own.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

My take is Gov. JBC was struck by a straight, unimpeded shot from the TSBD6 sniper window, or close thereto, and that is also the sentiment of his surgeon, Dr. Robert Shaw. 

Mr. SPECTER - As to the wound on the back of Governor Connally, was there any indication that the bullet was tumbling prior to the time it struck him?
Dr. SHAW - I would only have to say that I'm not a ballistics expert, but the wound on his chest was not a single puncture wound, it was long enough so that there might have been some tumbling.

A separate shot with a nose on impact would be result in a different set of wound descriptions. The bullet was tumbling to produce the wounds described by DR Shaw. SBT is the only answer.
