Marilyn Sitzman on JFK's Head Wound

[Tim Nickerson]

Yes, just realised! 

15mm x 6mm was the description of the wound in the scalp. Humes did say that there was a corresponding hole in the skull underneath but he said that 6mm would not be the measure of the smallest diameter. He said that 7mm would be the upper limit of it. 15mm x 7mm in the skull bone would not be out of the ordinary for a bullet entry wound in the skull caused by a 6.5mm bullet strike. It would be described as a keyholed entry wound.

Regardless, the movement of the ruler a few inches in the same plane from one part of the photo to another part of the photo helps us to verify whether or not Boswell's and Humes' measurement of the distance between the entry wound and the lower tip of JFK's mastoid process was correct.

I don't think Royell understood your original tongue in cheek comment but I thought the obvious cut-out of disembodied hands was a bit of a giveaway!

This is indicative of after 61+ years, we never know for certain if the image(s) we are looking at have been monkey'd with.

Yet ironically you rely on these very same images/film to make all sorts of conspiratorial assertions but I guess when you get to pick and choose what to believe then the World is your oyster.
