JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: When Was JBC Hit?
« Last post by Andrew Mason on Yesterday at 04:18:15 PM »Connally was mixed up and you're way off.If he was mixed up, one would expect that he would have said inconsistent things in subsequent statements. I don't see that he has done that. It is just that in this earliest interview for the WC investigation he provides a bit more detail.

Rhetorical question:
Why is it we can see almost all of Connally's white shirt in Z-174, but we can't see his tie?

Answer:
Because Connally, having consciously begun by Z-151 to turn his head quickly to his LEFT (and therefore being captured "looking straight ahead" in the Croft photo at Z-161), by Z-169 has started turning his head and upper torso back to his right to see where the shot had come from and to see if JFK is okay.
Why not use a clearer close-up view:

We can see the right side of his shirt that is interrupted by Kellerman's right shoulder and the mirror but continues below until cut off by the car. We can see that the tie is blocked by the frame of the side window and the right side of his shirt is in the shade. We can just barely make out the shaded right side of his shirt through the side window. We can see that he is looking to the right front at about a 2 o'clock direction.

By Z-174, Connally's upper torso is turned so far to his right that his tie is obscured from our view by a part of the car.That does not describe what JBC said he saw. He sensed that something was wrong with JFK. Had he seen JFK smiling and waving to the crowd, why would he have said what he said?
Although Connally continues turning to his right, he can't "see" JFK in Z-179 because JFK has turned HIS head far to HIS right and has raised his hand to wave to someone.
