The Shifting Single-Bullet Theory--It Always "Works" No Matter What

[Jack Nessan]

    Knott Labs Laser 360 SCIENCE is used to determine the Trajectory of a Bullet(s). That is the sum goal of this SCIENCE. It is not Sherlock Holmes, Perry Mason, or Ben Matlock.

Knotts Lab is not anything, but Science? Really? That is funny. This could have been done with an old survey transit.  Knotts worked backwards from the wounds to the middle of the 6th floor window. They estimated the wounds on JFK and Connally then drew a line back to the window. The green line ends where?  In the center of the double window? No one is depicted in the window holding a rifle. No one at all. That should be your first clue.

They are drawing lines and stating there was a different trajectory from Connally's wounds, and they don't think people would be curious as to where he is insinuating the shot came from? He actually completely distances himself from the question when it was asked. He doesn't want to get into the discussion about was there a second shooter. Yet look at what he has stated.

It goes to JBC's left side.  Where was he hit on the left side?  Do the wound characteristics fit that of CE399 hitting the thigh backwards giving the impression to Dr. Gregory that the thigh wound "was produced by something like the butt end of an intact missile" (4 H 128)?  Does the single dent on the base of the femur fit a bullet striking the femur on a tangent as Dr. Shires observed and depositing a bit of lead in the femur as the x-rays showed?

Think about what was stated, outside of the context of your theory.

It goes to JBC's left side.  Where was he hit on the left side?  Do the wound characteristics fit that of CE399 hitting the thigh backwards giving the impression to Dr. Gregory that the thigh wound "was produced by something like the butt end of an intact missile" (4 H 128)?  Does the single dent on the base of the femur fit a bullet striking the femur on a tangent as Dr. Shires observed and depositing a bit of lead in the femur as the x-rays showed?

Dr. Peters' recalls "bullet fragments taken from his thigh".

MR. GUNN: Did anyone else have an experience of that sort with Mr. Specter or with -
DR. PETERS: I'd like to ask a question about that. Now, as we've constructed it many times over the years, the first bullet that was fired was supposed to have missed. The second bullet went through the President and Governor Connally, and the third bullet hit President Kennedy in the skull. That's the way I think it's been explained to us over the years. Now, like Ron, I had never heard about this other bullet. There's been a lot written about the so-called pristine bullet and the -- Dr. Lattimer and the FBI fired bullets into 15 feet of pine board showing there was almost no deformity. And if you laid the pristine bullet on a flat surface such as this, It would roll irregularity showing it was only a little deformed. And I understood that the amount of lead missing from it actually equaled the calculated weight of lead from -- measured from President Kennedy's X rays, Governor Connally's arm, and the bullet fragments taken from his thigh, suggesting that it was indeed the same bullet that hit President Kennedy and Governor Connally but -

Dr. Gregory testified that the fragment was just beneath the skin and that says "I think again that bullet, Exhibit 399, could very well have struck the thigh in a reverse fashion and have shed a bit of its lead core into the fascia immediately beneath the skin, yet never have penetrated the thigh sufficiently so that it eventually was dislodged.."

Dr. GREGORY - Careful examination of this set of X-rays illustrated or demonstrates, I should say, a number of artificial lines, this is one and there is one. These lines I think represent rather hurried development of these films for they were taken under emergency conditions. They were intended simply to let us know if there was another missile in the Governor's limb where it might be located.
The only missile turned up is the same one seen in the original film which lies directly opposite the area indicated as the site of the missile wound or the wound in the thigh, but a fragment of metal, again microscopic measuring about five-tenths of a millimeter by 2 millimeters, lies just beneath the skin, about a half inch on the medial aspect of the thigh.
Mr. SPECTER - What is your best estimate of the weight of that metallic fragment?
Dr. GREGORY - This again would be in micrograms, postage stamp weight thereabouts, not much more than that.
Mr. SPECTER - Could that fragment, in your opinion, have caused the wound which you observed in the Governor's left thigh?
Dr. GREGORY - I do not believe it could have. The nature of the wound in the left thigh was such that so small a fragment as this would not have produced it and still have gone no further into the soft tissues than it did.
Mr. SPECTER - Would the wound that you observed in the soft tissue of the left thigh be consistent with having been made by a bullet such as that identified as Commission Exhibit 399?
Dr. GREGORY - I think again that bullet, Exhibit 399, could very well have struck the thigh in a reverse fashion and have shed a bit of its lead core into the fascia immediately beneath the skin, yet never have penetrated the thigh sufficiently so that it eventually was dislodged and was found in the clothing.
I would like to add to that we were disconcerted by not finding a missile at all. Here was our patient with three discernible wounds, and no missile within him of sufficient magnitude to account for them, and we suggested that someone ought to search his belongings and other areas where he had been to see if it could be identified or found, rather.
Mr. SPECTER - Had the missile gone through his wrist in reverse, would it likely have Continued in that same course until it reached his thigh, in your opinion?
Dr. GREGORY - The missile that struck his wrist had sufficient energy left after it passed through the radius to emerge from the soft tissues on the under surface of the skin. It could have had enough to partially enter his thigh, but not completely.
Mr. SPECTER - In the way which his thigh was wounded?
Dr. GREGORY - I believe so; yes.

Dr. Shires says that based on the Xray he believed the fragment was in the Femur, yet says that there was "very little soft tissue damage, less than one would expect", which in my opinion is consistent with Dr. Gregory's assessment of the bullet being just beneath the surface.

Mr. SPECTER - And what did you observe as to the wound on the thigh?
Dr. SHIRES - The wound on the thigh was a peculiar one. There was a 1 cm. punctate missile wound over the junction of the middle and lower third of the leg and the medial aspect of the, thigh. The peculiarity came in that the X-rays of the left leg showed only a very small 1 mm. bullet fragment imbedded in the femur of' the left leg. Upon exploration of this wound, the other peculiarity was that there was very little soft tissue damage, less than one would expect from an entrance wound of a centimeter in diameter, which was seen on the skin. So, it appeared, therefore, that the skin wound was either a tangential wound or that a larger .fragment had penetrated or stopped in the skin and had subsequently fallen out of the entrance wound.

Dr. Shaw recalls being told by Dr. Shire and Dr. Gregory "that that the depth of the wound was only into the subcutaneous tissue, not actually into the muscle of the leg" and Dr. Gregory who was present at this part of Dr. Shaw's testimony agreed.

Mr. SPECTER - Why do you say it is a spent missile, would you elaborate on what your thinking is on that issue?
Dr. SHAW - Only from what I have been told by Dr. Shires and Dr. Gregory, that the depth of the wound was only into the subcutaneous tissue, not actually into the muscle of the leg, so it meant that missile had penetrated for a very short period. Am I quoting you correctly, Dr. Gregory?
Mr. SPECTER - May the record show Dr. Gregory is present during this testimony and----
Dr. GREGORY - I will say yes.

Connally's two dimensional Xray could have the lead fragment from CE399 at any depth, meaning that it was not necessarily embedded in the Femur. And again in my opinion, if CE399 inserted itself all the way into the bone, then just falling out wouldn't be that possible!

The deeper you dig into the Knotts Lab, the more apparent it is that this is no at all true. This looks like this is their first venture into this type of venue ever. If it had any validity at all, even you would be able to easily answer questions about why it is to be believed. Even in the video the bullet still strikes JBC in the back just in a different spot. Mr. Stoll in the video explains he has no expertise in understanding trajectories which is very apparent in his explanation of JBC's wounds. He presents the video and doesn't realize he is claiming a second shooter which he then tries to distance himself from having insinuated. It looks like they have left you to explain the relevance of it all Royell. Have at it.

    This is what happens when your entire case sits atop a foundation based onna THEORY. A "House Of Cards". And now, with SCIENCE destroying the SBT, everything is crashing DOWN around you.  You guys earned this still unfolding debacle. (Rob Reiner and RFK Jr being the ramrods)
    The Laser 360 SCIENCE is employed on all applications. There were several interviews done which directly addressed the Knott Lab Laser 360 SCIENCE, "SBT IS IMPOSSIBLE" conclusion. Some were longer and more detailed than others. Maybe you viewed a "Reader's Digest" version?  Knott Labs is currently working on the other JFK Assassination bullet trajectories and their location(s). Stay Tuned.....................
