Lone Nutters: Let's keep it real, why do you think there was no EOP wound?
Tim Nickerson:
--- Quote from: Micah Mileto on May 09, 2018, 02:42:45 PM ---What ballistics tests show that such a round will deflect sharply upwards upon encountering one layer of skull bone? Here is the Tracking Oswald part 5 ballistics dummy test:
What? No, fragments deposited at the base of the head could not have "leaked out" from a hole in the parietal bone.
Because severe damage to the cerebellum would be an inevitable obstacle for a straight-moving bullet. Do you think a 6.5 round deflected sharply upwards as soon as it got past a single layer of skull?
P.S. do you have a mobi file of JFK Myth to share?

Micah, I will respond properly when I have the time. It may not be until the weekend.
I don't have a digital file of JFK Myths. Sorry. Amazon Canada has a kindle version for $10 Cad.

The round didn't deflect sharply upwards upon encountering one layer of skull bone. It "deflected" upward after encountering a layer of skull bone. The encounter with the skull bone had deformed it to such a degree that upon entering the brain it developed a lift that curved its trajectory upward.

Why not? Fragments would have also exited along with brain matter at the time of the head "explosion"

When it passed through the skull, the bullet was no longer moving in a straight line trajectory. The cerebellum was far enough below the point of entry to escape extensive damage from the deformed bullet as it passed above on its curved trajectory.
Micah Mileto:
Notice how I provided actual experimental evidence to show that such a shot entering near the EOP could not exit the parietal area and still be consistent with the rest of the of the official evidence. Could we at least both agree that a bullet traveling close to the speed of LIGHT couldn't deflect upwards upon encountering one layer of skull bone?

Micah, Could you provide that actual experimental evidence so that I can see it?

Can we agree? No can do. "Bullets traveling close to the speed of light" is above my pay grade.
There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night

Micah, I accept what is in the autopsy report. The wound was slightly above the EOP.

I agree.
The EOP entrance actually works best with a bullet that is curving through the head, as ballistic expert Larry Sturdivan says real bullets do. The bullet curves upwards, exiting at a higher point on the head than one would expect (if it travelled in a straight line) allowing the three fragments to clear, or almost clear, the windshield.
In contrast, the cowlick entrance calls for the bullet to travel in a straight line, not deflected upon striking the skull on entrance, travelling a straight line through the head, then making an abrupt change of direction upwards upon striking the skull at the far side of the head.
I think the HSCA preferred the cowlick entry over the EOP entry, because that allows the sniper?s nest, the entrance wound and the exit wound to line up. They didn?t realize that bullets (which start to fragment) don?t travel in a straight line. And didn?t bother themselves with wondering why the fragments didn?t end up staying on this straight line but deflected upwards.
