I borrowed this photo from another thread.
Just above the box in the window there are three cars in three lanes....
The car in the center lane seems to be in roughly the same position where JFK's limo was when the shots were fired.
How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?
Any suggestions?
The holes in JFK's jacket, shirt, back and throat as well as the abrasion on the left side of the tie knot indicate that the bullet passed through JFK on a right to left angle. There was no indication in the car that the bullet went on to strike anything in the car with significant force. So, if it exited JFK with any significant velocity, which is almost certain, it must have struck something other than the car. That leaves JBC was the only possible object that was struck by the bullet that exited JFK.
But that does not lead to the SBT.
One of the many problems with the SBT is that the right to left angle was about 10-12 degrees depending on where the car was when the first shot occurred. The witness and photographic evidence is pretty consistent that the first shot was after z190 and before z202 and that it struck JFK. At z197, the right-to-left angle was 12 degrees. That means that over the approximately 24 inches between JFK's neck and the plane of the jump seat-back behind Gov. Connally, the bullet travelled another 5 inches farther left. It is not likely or, in my view even possible, that the bullet, traveling in a straight line after leaving JFK struck Gov. Connally in the right armpit.
