Another disappearing bullet

[Tim Nickerson]

Personally it seems pretty obvious it could have only come from the wound in JFK's back I was just trying to explain the basic narrative to James Dahl

 OP Wright, who in charge of security at Parkland,  claims he got the bullet from Tomlinson is quoted rather strongly that CE 399 is not the bullet they found on Nov22nd 1963

Matt, OP Wright never went on record stating that the bullet that he got from Tomlinson was not CE-399.

  Being on the record being defined by appearing before the Warren Commission?

James, your knowledge on the details of the assassination is extremely lacking. You may want to familiarize yourself with the basics of the case before opining on it. Connally had at least two exit wounds. Three when you consider that the bullet exited his thigh on it's own. There were six fragments of lead detected in his body; five in his wrist and one in his thigh. Four of the fragments in his wrist were removed by Dr. Gregory.

              Yeah, and those Fragments you have posted are Not indicative of the condition of the Pristine Bullet. Plus, there were Extra Bullet Fragments still within the body of Connally.  Even Humes did Not buy into the SBT, and his opinion was solely based on the Numerous Bullet Fragments vs the Condition of the SBT.

    It was No accident that OP Wright was Not called to testify before the WC. There is a Long List of Key Eyewitnesses that the WC avoided hearing testify & having their account Historically Documented.

No. Although, that certainly would be one way. He never stated publicly, in written, transcribed or audio form, that CE-399 was definitely not the bullet that he handled. He could not positively identify it as being the same bullet but he never ruled it out either.

The notes for CE-842 state it was extracted from Connally's wrist, not his thigh.  Connally has an exit wound in his chest, he only has an entrance wound on his thigh.  Connally's exit wound on his chest isn't an exit from his body though because the bullet proceeded to enter his thigh and is still there.  Some fragments of the bullet were found in the car but most lodged into Connally's body.

Wright also never confirmed publicly that the bullet now in evidence as CE 399 is in fact the bullet he received from Tomlinson either.

And Tomlinson, who did appear before the WC, was never shown CE 399 during his testimony, because....... it was only entered into evidence after he had testified. Go figure!

Tomlinson btw also never confirmed that the bullet now in evidence as CE 399 was indeed the bullet he found.

There is in fact no positive identification of bullet CE 399 by the first four people who handled it. For all we know bullet CE 399 started it's evidentiary life at the FBI lab in Washington.

Six Seconds in Dallas reported on an interview with O.P. Wright in November 1966. Before any photos were shown or he was asked for any description of #399, Wright said: ?That bullet had a pointed tip.?

?Pointed tip?? Thompson asked.

?Yeah, I?ll show you. It was like this one here,? he said, reaching into his desk and pulling out the .30 caliber bullet pictured in Six Seconds.?[8]

As Thompson described it in 1967, ?I then showed him photographs of CE?s 399, 572 (the two ballistics comparison rounds from Oswald?s rifle) (sic), and 606 (revolver bullets) (sic), and he rejected all of these as resembling the bullet Tomlinson found on the stretcher. Half an hour later in the presence of two witnesses, he once again rejected the picture of 399 as resembling the bullet found on the stretcher.?[9]
