I am not disputing that an estimate of the angle might very well be wrong, but my question is basically so what? Maybe I could phrase it better, but I do not get the overall significance of this point in the bigger picture
I don't know how many times I have to tell you, a defence lawyer doesn't get to be a jury on his own case, it's unethical!
Taking the average of the three WCC 6.5mm bullets weighed by FBI agent Robert Frazier and subtracting the weight of CE-399:
Taking the average of the three WCC 6.5mm bullets weighed by FBI agent Robert Frazier and subtracting the weight of CE-399:160.85 + 161.5 + 161.1 grains = 483.45483.45 ? 3 = 161.15 grains161.15 - 158.6 = 2.55 grains missing from CE-399
Speaking of non sequiturs. the idea that no fragments would exist in chest where the bullet fractured a rib, but instead the only fragments would be near the much smaller bones in the wrist certainly meets the criteria for me
So CE-399 was slightly below avg in mass if your numbers are accurate, which I doubt. But where on the MB did the fragments originate from? The MB looked slightly flattened and not missing any material to me. What is the variance of mass with a FMJ bullet of this type anyway? When you find that out, let's talk.
The rib bone is much thinner than the radius and probably not as hard. Four lead fragments were surgically removed from Connally. There were no fragments known to be left in Connally other than the tiny one in his thigh and a tiny one in his wrist. The CT claim that the mass of fragments deposited in Connally exceeded the mass missing from CE-399 does not even come close to holding water.
