"Kennedy was holding his throat after the first shot. If a big bullet, shot from behind, tears through somebody's back and then exits his throat, does that person grab his throat? Or does he basically fall over dead?"

No, he grabs his throat when the bullet _from the front_ hits him in the throat.

He doesn't fall over dead till the next bullet _from the front_ hits him in the right temple.

In the meantime, he's hit from the rear as well, probably twice.

I think I remember someone over the years describe this event as a turkey shoot. He didn't have a chance.

Yes you did hear that... you heard it from Oliver Stone via Kevin Costner (just watched that film the other night).
