Gerald Ford claimed the rear shot was in the neck, but the FBI measured the holes in the suitcoat at 5-3/8" from the collar and in the shirt at 5-3/4" from the collar, making a throat exit wound impossible--just as the Parkland staff said.

Exactly. The magic bullet would have had to angle slightly upward from Kennedys back to exit his throat, then go down and to the right to hit Connelly, and emerge nearly pristine at Parkland leaving more fragments in Connelly's body than were missing from the slug.
Magic indeed.

Here is a discussion of that bullet Commission Exhibit 399 which includes remarks by autopsists and forensic experts who express disbelief it caused the wounds attributed to it:
Governor Connally's Wrist Wound and CE-399.
The criticality of the bullet is that it is tasked to account for the seven wounds to exclude additional shots and the subsequent explosion of the lone gunman theory.
The trajectory of the rear shot with throat exit is likewise impossible with its entry placed at the FBI's measurements, which are corroborated by autopsy measurements.
The throat exit is denied by the Parkland personnel who stipulate it was a wound of entry.

Another reason LBJ wouldn't have done it - why risk killing Democrat Texas Governor Conelly? That would not have been policially wise. LBJ wouldn't have risked the lifes of Gov. or Mrs. Conelly either. Many don't know how close personal friends the Johnsons and the Connellys were. Most every weekend the Johnsons would fly down to their lake home on Lake LBJ (named changed from Lake Granite Shoals when LBJ built the bridge). The Connellys lake home was directly across the river from the Johnsons. Can you imagine the wrath of Lady Bird if the Connellys had been killed?!?
