"probably too soon"???

Just how did you figure that one out.

JBC is seen starting his turn in reaction to the first shot at Z164. The second shot was fired at about Z219-220. That's 3 seconds after JBC reacted and the reaction was not immediate. If Zapruder's camera jiggle at Z155 was in reaction to the shot, it was fired in the Z147-148 time frame. That is based on the lag time of 7-8 frames between when the head shot was fired and Zapruder's reaction at Z318. That's about 4 seconds between the first and second shot. More than enough time to fire an aimed shot.

I’ll believe JBC’s interpretation of the Z film of being hit at 234 over yours. But thanks for sharing your opinion.

Yes, you do, if you're being objective and credible, but apparently you can't bring yourself to do that on this issue, since it would mean admitting that some of the autopsy evidence was altered or faked.

Oh, please. I mean, come on. Aren't you embarrassed to float such a silly, obvious dodge? Every single expert who has examined the supposedly "original" brain photos has noted no damage to the rear part of the occipital lobes and only the very slightest damage to the cerebellum.

When the FPP confronted Humes, Finck, and Boswell with the absence of any damage to these areas in the brain photos that would be exxpected from an EOP-site bullet, when they were all viewing the photos together, the autopsy doctors could not explain it. Finck simply said, "I don't know. I cannot answer your question." Humes's only response was to offer the humorous, lame, and irrelevant point that the brain photos are not 3D, never mind that the photos show all sides of the brain, including the bottom. Boswell offered no response at all.

LOL! It seemed for a moment like you were allowing yourself to actually go where the evidence points regarding the entry site, but I see you've realized the impossible problems such an admission poses and so now you're waffling and pretending that it's no big deal because either entry site supposedly works.

No, either entry point is not compatible with a trajectory back to the sixth-floor window. Again, for the umpteenth time, the WC's experts could only get the EOP site to align with the sixth-floor window by assuming a forward lean of well over 50 degrees for JFK's head when the bullet hit. And, again, for the umpteenth time, Sturdivan can only get the EOP site's trajectory to "work" by assuming that the bullet came from the sixth-floor window, penetrated the skull at a 15-degree downward angle, but then somehow, someway suddenly veered sharply upward, never mind that not a single bullet in the WC's head-shot wound ballistics tests performed such an amazing feat, and never mind that Sturdivan could not cite a single case where an FMJ bullet, or any kind of bullet, has performed such a feat.

Moreover, as mentioned, the EOP site totally contradicts the brain photos and the WC's head-shot wound ballistics tests and cannot possibly explain the high fragment trail, which is why the autopsy doctors ignored it.

Also, neither the EOP site nor the cowlick site can explain the outer-table back-of-head fragments, which is why the FPP ignored the McDonnel fragment, nor can either wound site explain the 7x2 mm fragment in the right orbit (unless we assume that the autopsy report's low fragment trail was removed from the skull x-rays). 

BTW, are you ever going to explain why the low fragment trail does not appear on the skull x-rays? Where did it go?

You don't "know" any such thing, and you clearly cannot explain the unsolvable problems posed for your theory by the medical evidence. After saying you leaned toward the EOP site, now you're waffling and gasping that either entry site works, when your own beloved FPP noted that the brain photos demonstrably refute the EOP site (assuming the brain photos are authentic).

Are you ever going to explain how JFK's brain could have lost only "less than 1-2 ounces" of brain tissue given the accounts that record that pieces of JFK's brain were blown or dropped onto 16 surfaces, not counting the "rather large chunk of brain" that Jackie handed to Dr. Jenkins in the Parkland ER? No, of course not. And let's remember that Bugliosi's answer to the numerous credible accounts of a large amount of missing brain tissue was to cite Baden's disclosure that the brain photos show "less than 1-2 ounces" of missing tissue.

Can you name one qualified medical examiner who has seen the autopsy evidence who has concluded the photos are fraudulent?

I didn't think so.

As for whether I am ever going to explain your perceived anomalies my answer is, of course I'm not. That's not my job. I leave those judgements to people who are qualified to make those judgements. You don't seem to have any qualms about substituting your amateur's analysis of the medical evidence for that of people who are actually competent to make such judgements. If you could find a competent person who has seen the autopsy evidence and shares your conclusion, we would have something to talk about, but you don't.

As for unsolvable problems, those are all in your head. I have no explanation for what goes on in there.

If JBC was turned as he was hit, it would lead to a non-circular entry wound, depending upon where the shot originated, would it not?

If he turned in reaction to hearing the first shot, it implies he was hit by a second bullet and probably too soon after hearing the shot to have been fired from the same bolt action rifle.

Westbrook testified that he returned directly to the police station after Oswald was arrested in the theater (he didn’t arrive in his own car). So Barret’s account of Westbrook flipping through the wallet and asking him if he knew Hidell or Oswald couldn’t have happened at 10th and Patton.

Mr. BALL. Now, what did you do after that [arrest at theater]?
Mr. WESTBROOK. I went back to the city hall and resumed my desk.

    YOU claimed the Pristine Bullet was traveling "BACKWARD". And now you are trying to run away from that. I'm holding you to what YOU said.
To be fair, I think what was being suggested that the bullet was tumbling (rotating about its transverse axis) and, therefore, travelling backward for just an instant in time every rotation. If a pristine bullet is tumbling, it would have to have become unstable while passing through air.  The MC FMJ bullets did not do that in passing through a few hundred feet of air.  I don't see anyone suggesting that a pristine bullet was tumbling.  You said it was being suggested but I don't see where anyone else argued that.

I have to do no such thing.

Yes, you do, if you're being objective and credible, but apparently you can't bring yourself to do that on this issue, since it would mean admitting that some of the autopsy evidence was altered or faked.

For one, most of the autopsy brain photos have never been made public. The few autopsy photos that have been made public are of much lower quality than the originals. Even if I had the original photos, I am totally unqualified to analyze them as are you.

Oh, please. I mean, come on. Aren't you embarrassed to float such a silly, obvious dodge? Every single expert who has examined the supposedly "original" brain photos has noted no damage to the rear part of the occipital lobes and only the very slightest damage to the cerebellum.

I look at the evidence the way a juror would be instructed to look at it in a criminal trial. Jurors are not expected to be knowledgeable in highly technical areas. What they are expected to do is listen to the expert testimony presented to them. In some cases, the opposing sides call their own expert witnesses who present conflicting opinions about the evidence. In those cases the jurors are expected to make reasonable judgements as to the credibility of these witnesses. Based on Dr. Cummings analysis of the fracture pattern in the x-rays, I find it more likely that the autopsy team's placement of the back-of-head entry wound was more accurate than the FPP. In the final analysis, it really isn't important which one is correct because either is compatible with the finding that Oswald fired that shot from the sniper's nest.

It's hardly a new position. I have never taken a hard stance as to which placement of the entry wound is correct because I don't find it important. What is important is I know Oswald fired the shot that created that entry wound. That is a slam dunk.

As far as I know, no book has yet killed Baker’s book.

You're joking, right? Walt Brown absolutely destroyed Baker's nonsense years ago:

The principled restraint of a serious researcher is impressive to behold.

Major LOL on this one Mark :)

Your picture does not depict what you think it does. You need to study the various pictures a little closer. What is depicted is exactly what I have been telling you. The indentation in the center of the bigger dent is farther into the shell casing, you know flared, and that is what is shown in the plan view of the shell casing and the other CE 543 photos.

The sides are slightly bulged out as would be expected and observed in the photos. Your lines are just an extension of your opinion and cannot possibly be considered accurate by you or anyone else.

That is not the definition of a flare. Here is the difference according to Google AI:

A dent is an inward depression caused by an impact, whereas a flare is an outward protrusion or widening.



The sides are slightly bulged out as would be expected and observed in the photos.


If the sides were slightly bulged out, that would be flared. However, I do not see any evidence of any bulging. If bulging were present, we would see the top view being oval shaped. But my demonstration with the yellow circle shows that it is not oval-shaped and is circular. Also the parallel yellow lines in the side view shows that it is not bulged (or flared out); if the neck of the shell was bulged out, then the parallel lines would not line up with the edges of the neck.
