An interesting and informative interview concerning the location of a bullet hole in the limousine windshield, the hole was located just above the metal near the bottom of the glass.

I spent hours looking into the supposed hole, all hole statements are baloney.
The remnant slug of Hickey's AR15 headshot at Z313 hit the inside of the windshield just left of mirror (ie driver's side), there are photos of the cracked windshield on the day & on the next day & recent (the cracked windshield is today on display)(the modern cracks go completely across).
Lead fragments were taken from the impact area, on the inside.
The cracks were (& i would say "are" except that i havent inspected the windshield myself) on the outside layer of the laminated glass.
There was a very small chip missing on the outside.

How do we know this supposed "hole" was caused by a bullet? How do we know it was a hole and not a crack?

Robert Frazier of the FBI testified that he examined the limo. He said this about the windshield (this is from his testimony in the Clay Shaw trial).

Q: Did you find anything unusual about the windshield and if so, please describe that condition?
A: The windshield was partially broken in a star-shaped fashion, that is there was a crack in the windshield. I made a specific examination of it to determine what caused the crack. I found on the inside surface of the windshield a deposit of lead which had been forced against the glass and had splattered and as a result determined the glass had been broken by the impact of a projectile striking the inside surface of the glass and fracturing the windshield in the outer layer.
Q: Upon what did you base your determination that the glass had been hit by a projectile hitting the inside rather than the outside?
A: As a result of having examined hundreds of pieces of glass which have been broken in a known fashion, that is by a blow delivered in a known way, it is possible by studying the radial cracks or fractures emanating from the point of force to determine the side of the glass on which the force was applied.
Using the stress lines left on this glass at the time the glass was broken and caused by the object which broke the glass it is possible to determine the direction the force was applied. This examination of the cracks showed that the pressure had been applied on the inside surface.
Q: Now the opinion which you formed as to which side of the windshield had been hit, Mr. Frazier, was that a definite opinion or was there any doubt in your mind as an expert?
A: It is a definite conclusion.

Fragment CE357 or CE359 of Hickey's AR15 bullet that killed JFK in Z313 hit the inside of the windshield just left of mirror (ie driver's side), there are photos of the cracked windshield on the day & on the next day & recent (the cracked windshield is today on display)(the modern cracks go completely across).
Lead fragments were taken from the impact area, on the inside.

That article stinks. There are lots of good articles re Hickey.
At present i am looking into Bronson's footage of Hickey at about Z313. I hope to see Hickey raised up a little holding his AR15. But its all so blurry.

Here's a photo of the note that FBI agent Robert Frazier made regarding his examination of the windshield. Again, he said he recovered "lead" from the inside of the windshield. That could only have been created by a bullet fragment (a hole whole bullet would presumably have gone right through the windshield) hitting the inside and not a bullet entering from the outside.
