4 to 5 millimeters, man that is small. Ever wonder why JFK didn't duck into the seat like the others did? If he would've ducked after the first shot he would've survived and he had 6 seconds to do it. 59 witnesses said that there was about a 6 second gap between the first shot and the second shot (and then a 1 - 2 second gap between the second and third). I wonder if he was paralized. Did his back brace keep him from ducking into the seat? Maybe that's what the splice was for, to hide part of what went on right before JFK put his hands to his throat.

4 to 5 millimeters, man that is small.

That was Dr. Baxter's estimate of the size of the wound before Dr. Perry's tracheotomy.

Dr. Carrico's estimate was 5 to 8 millimeters.

A millimeter is 0.03937 inch.

Dr. Baxter's estimate is 0.15748 inch to 0.19685 inch, a median of 0.1758 inch.

Dr. Carrico's estimate is 0.19685 inch to 0.31496 inch, a median of 0.2559 inch.

The average of Dr. Baxter's median of 0.1758 inch and Dr. Carrico's median of 0.2559 inch is 0.21585 inch.

Hence the round, even wound observed by the Parkland doctors to have an approximate diameter of 0.21585 inch is close to the size of a .22 caliber bullet or a .223 bullet.

The ripping of the neat one inch incision performed at Parkland to create the ragged three inch tear observed at Bethesda may have been required to retrieve a bullet which caused the neat, round wound described by Drs. Crenshaw, Perry, Baxter, Carrico, Peters, and Jones.
