Didn't the Parkland docs all say the hole in JFK's throat was an entrance wound and not an exit wound? Am I remembering that correctly?

Of course, it was impossible to prove that later after the docs had used the hole to attempt a trach...

Yep, that's what the ER pros said, but who are they to know...

And in the past day or so, I read something that had never either made sense or else I missed it. It was that the back bullet hole -- the one that hit JFK about 5 or so inches down his back, the one that is apparently the "magic bullet" that went on supposedly through his throat and then made its way all through John Connelly -- this bullet was probed in the hospital and did not go very far into the body.

In other words, it did not exit out the front of his body.

Can anyone refute that?

If you check the autopsy diagrams and photos it appears much more likely that the first hit came from the front and above, went through the throat and exited out the back. This should have left a bullet in the seat or trunk.
