The Truly Magical Bullet

[Andrew Mason]

The bullet in that pic had been fired into the wrist bone of a human cadaver at a velocity of about 1100 ft/s.

Had this bullet passed through a human torso causing an impact on the fifth rib that felt like someone had given him a hard punch and that then obliterated 10 cm of rib sending bone shards into the right lung ripping gashes in the lower lobe before exiting?  How was the 1100 fps measured? Was it a guess? Where did it strike the radius and what damage did it do to the radius?

[Jerry Freeman]

There is no way that bullet deformity was there before firing.

Absolutely correct.
I was in error there.
The bullet was fired and I knew that.
Silly me.
The bullet had been fired...but not at the Kennedy car.
It was fired into a pillow or mattress or a bale of cotton maybe from the MC rifle before both items were planted to be 'found' by the cops.

[Tim Nickerson]

The deformity on the base was probably made when the missile was cast...
The Single Bullet Theory is just that..a theory ...it is the silliest most ridiculous theory I ever heard.

That Wecht used that exhibit to argue against the SBT shows how non-credible that he is. Surely, he must have known better.

No, it did not. Why do you ask?

The 1100 was approximated. It fractured the radius. Not sure where on the radius but I'll try to look it up.

Cyril Wecht is a foremost forensic pathologist.
 

He has been the president of both the American Academy of Forensic Science and the American College of Legal Medicine, and currently heads the board of trustees of the American Board of Legal Medicine.

Tim Nickerson [who isn't/doesn't] keeps trying to constantly, continuously, and most persistently convince himself that he is always right.

No, it did not. Why do you ask?

I thought you were suggesting that this bullet's similarity to CE399 was evidence that CE399 could have caused all of JBC's wounds.  If not, what was your point?

LN-ers accept the opinions of experts.  Except when they don't.
