Title: Visual clues regarding the timing of the first shot
Post by: Tom Graves on October 20, 2025, 09:17:15 PM
Having heard Oswald's first missing-everything shot and experienced an observable "startle reaction" about two seconds earlier (at hypothetical "Z-124" per a 2020 study of the conscious reactions of seven prime witnesses by Brian Roselle and Kenneth Scearce), JBC consciously reacted to it by starting to turn to his right at Z-165, hoping to catch a glimpse of JFK over his right shoulder.

By the time he'd turned far enough to do so, however, JFK had raised his right hand to wave to somebody and had turned his head to his far right, thereby preventing JBC from "seeing" him.

Still wondering if JFK was okay, JBC started turning back to his left to try to catch a glimpse of him over his left shoulder but had just started doing so when JFK and he were hit by Oswald's second bullet, CE-399.

Bottom line: CE-399, at some point between Z-222 and Z-224, caused seven wounds to the two men and ended up being temporarily embedded in JBC's right thigh.
