The History Channel had all the statements from the Dallas Parkland doctors noting the massive right rear exit wound.

I sure wish the disinformation specialists who always want to knock this down would answer this:

How to explain the description of the wounds as told by the attending physicians in the Parkland ER who treated JFK?

I trust their remembrances and hands-on experience much more than those who keep coming out of the woodwork to keep this country in the dark -- for how many more years?

How long are we supposed to wait?

I'm so fed up. Tell us the truth for crying out loud! Do we have to wait till the 50th anniversary of this crime?

Apparently because you are getting your information from cheap tabloids instead of using common sense. Are you saying that Kennedy had a bullet hole in his throat and another on his back and no bullets were removed because they evaporated?

The emergency doctors weren't interested in tracing bullet paths. They were trying to save his life or at least go through the motions.

You will wait forever for the truth. I don't know what it is, but you can bet that there are pieces that will never see the light of day. Not ever.

The memories or claims that the large exit wound was in the rear of the president's head are flat wrong. The truth is there for all to see on the Zapruder film, one frame of which is shown in Post #56 on this thread. The Zapruder film clearly shows that upper right front of the president's head literally explodes upward and outward with tremendous force. There is a massive spray of blood, bone, and brain matter. One huge flap of scalp and bone falls down in front of his right ear and cheek, but remains attached to the skull. It's very ugly, very violent, and very final.

Anyone who sees those frames of the Zapruder film and continues to claim the exit wound was in the back of the skull is a charlatan, pure and simple.

However, one cannot determine the bullet trajectory from the Zapruder film. At the time the president is hit in the head, he appears to be facing straight to the front of the limousine. The Texas Schoolbook Depository is to the right, rear. One would think a shot from the right rear should exit to the left front. But perhaps the fatal bullet was deflected slightly to the right upon hitting the skull. Autopsy photos do show only one entrance wound in the rear of the skull, somewhat to right of center and fairly high up on the head.

What strikes me about that shot as compared to the others is it's genuine explosiveness. It almost seems to have been a different type of round.

Another striking thing is the interviews Nelly Connolly gave just this morning. She and her husband have always believed John Connolly was hit with the second shot, not the shot that went through the president's neck. What she said today is that they heard the first shot. She looked back at the president and saw him clutching his throat. She didn't immediately recognize the sound as gunfire. But John Connolly was a hunter and was familiar with guns. He knew immediately that the sound was gunfire. He turned to his right, then his left to try to see the president. Then as he was turning around to the left again, he was hit with, to quote Mrs. Connolly, "the second shot." At that point she pulled her husband down in her lap. It was after that when she heard another shot and the limousine was sprayed with blood and matter.

The only problem with this testimony — and the reason why the Warren Commission went with their "magic bullet" theory — is that it is known one shot missed. The places where it struck pavement were found very early in the investigation.

The magic bullet theory has the shot that hit Kennedy in the throat passing through and hitting Connolly, then being found on his stretcher (in nearly pristine condition). Even if this is true, I have always wondered why the bullet that hit the president's head exploded, while the "magic" one went through two human bodies and several bones, and was only slightly deformed. I don't know if any fragments of were found of the bullet that missed, but the fact that it hit concrete makes it understandable that it would virtually disintegrate.
