As a ww2 veteran and a man / witness who lone nut advocates say was well experienced in terms of the sounds of gun fire (and i am sure that he was ) if i spoke to him i would have asked him about his undeniable statement about watching a piece of jfks head fly through the air both REARWARD and leftward and land at the curb where he stood . and then asked him if he could explain that via a shot or shots ONLY from the rear .

"Since we all know that Kennedy's head was tossed violently to the rear
(after being driven forward initially by the force of Lee Oswald's bullet
coming from the Book Depository), then I don't see anything unusual
or miraculous about a piece of loose brain tissue or skull bone being
thrown to the rear of his head." (

The quote about the debris landing at the curb near Brehm was from a 1966 video interview by Lane with Brehm (available for viewing at the link to the Von Pein page).
In "Rush to Judgment", Lane included Brehm in "The statements of eyewitnesses close to the President tended to confirm the likelihood that the shot came from the right and not from the rear." Brehm said in 1967:
"It was one critic, Mark Lane, who takes very great liberties with adding
to my quotation. I never said that the -- any shot came from here
like I was quoted by Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane would liked me to have
positively identified the -- what I saw fly over here -- his skull --
although I told him I could not -- I did not -- I thought it was but I
could not. So he had added his interpretations to what I said, and
consequently that's where the story come from that -- that I said
the shots came from up there. No shot came from up there at any
time during the whole fiasco that afternoon."
