Okay, I'll say it again. When Kennedy is seen clutching his throat, it is not certain that that is the moment he's hit by the bullet that passes through his body and into Connelly. It is possible that this was a reaction to debris hitting Kennedy from a first, missed shot.

Finally, the fact that Connelly's wound was oblong proves the bullet hit SOMETHING else before striking him. What was that, do you suppose?

That's new to me. I thought there was supposed to be only 3 shots. The one shot that missed hit a curb away from the car. Reaction to debris from a missed shot? Hmmm... I'm not buying it. The hands to neck movement is clearly a reaction to being shot. He begins to slump forward. He has already been hit and Connelly does not fall back toward the left side of the car until after JFK gets hit. The positioning is still wrong. If the shot was later then the positioning is even worse.

The wounds on Kennedy indicate that the bullet exiting the neck was still traveling downward and leftward. Within the possible timeframe of that bullet Connelly was not in position to be shot in the manner he was hit.

"Finally, the fact that Connelly's wound was oblong proves the bullet hit SOMETHING else before striking him. What was that, do you suppose?"

I don't know, but I still see no way for that bullet to have been the one exiting JFK's neck. The positions are still wrong.

Peace,
