Autopsy proves SBT impossible

[Tim Nickerson]

Why don't you ask the man who stood at JFK's shoulder, helping move the body for photos, xrays, etc.? If he tells you he saw, from inches away, a small entry wound in JFK's temple, exactly where the Press Secretary pointed to as he announced JFK's death, how would this have occurred?

Who is he and where can he be reached?

Here's another one for you Ray:

 The dot in the back in this diagram is contrary to everything I have seen Whose signature is it if I may and when was it made available

[John Iacoletti]

Paul O'Connor, I believe.

Paul O'Connor, I believe.

 Thanks John I thought that might be the case. But I thought he was a bit of an autopsy skeptic if you will I would be interested how he justifies the location of that back wound

[Ray Mitcham]

Here's another one for you Ray:

O'Connor to the HSCA

O'Connor said for a while there was no discussion of any other wounds until later on, when they found the bullet wound in the... ?back in the neck?... just above C7. O.Connor said it was approximately dead center in the midline of the back.

Just above C7! Agrees  with Burkley on the position in the back.

On the death certificate that Burkley signed, the back wound was located ?at about the level of the third thoracic vertebra? (ARRB MD6, p.2).
The autopsy descriptive sheet, the pathologists? official diagram of the wounds to the body, placed the back wound in the same location. Burkley signed the sheet, ?Verified? (ARRB MD1).

Sibert and On'Neill report.
During the latter stages of this autopsy, Dr Humes located an opening which appeared to be a bullet hole which was below the shoulders and two inches to the right of the middle line of the spinal column.

[Andrew Mason]

It is obvious that Nickerson cannot cite any evidence showing that the throat wound was ever tracked or probed, therefore, he cannot show that there was any connection between the back wound and the throat wound.

In short, his beloved WC's SBT is sunk.

That is not evidence that the bullet did not go through. The evidence that it did go through JFK's neck is the following:
1. There was an entry wound on the back.
2. There was an exit wound in the neck (this is confirmed by the holes in the shirt and the abrasion on the tie knot.
3. There was no bullet in JFK.

This is consistent with a shot from the SN:
4. There was evidence of a sniper in the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD.
5. The angle through JFK of the bullet path is consistent with a shot from the SN going undeflected through JFK if JFK was turned slightly right as he appears in the zfilm.

 3 out 5 Pretty good

[Matt Grantham]

 On a different tact, I am a bit curious about the claim that when we see Connally's shirt puff up at one of the first couple of frames as the motorcade emerges from behind the sign is proof he is shot at the same time as the President Clearly JFK is already reacting before this frame How is that possible?
