[size=12]Purdy: We've just gone through the backgrounds of when you were
present at the autopsy prior to beginning your work. Could
you please detail for us your recollection of events and
what you saw once you began your work.

Robinson: Once I began the work? I remember the tracheotomy; I
remember the bones of the skull and face badly shattered.

Purdy: Where on the face were they shattered, which of the bones?

Robinson: You cannot see that from the outside. This is looking
through the opening that the physicians had made at the
back of the skull.

As far as I can tell, Robinson was the only person involved with the autopsy that mentioned the breakage of JFK's facial bones. This kind of damage is typical of a bullet that breaks up so completely, it comes to a stop in the wound and hydraulically transfers all of its energy to surrounding tissue.

Although it was not in this interview and I am unable to recall exactly where I saw it, Robinson also mentioned there were two small "leaks" in JFK's face that necessitated being filled with wax, in order to prevent fluid leaking onto JFK's face while he was in the casket.

Once again, I refer the reader to my thread "Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets", in which I discuss the 6.5mm Carcano M37 frangible bullet.



As seen above, the jacket is in two pieces, plus a very deep cannelure near the base. Inside, there is sand in the base, powdered lead in the middle and a solid maillechort pellet in the nose. Converting this to a lethal bullet would only require deepening the opening in the nose by 1 or 2 mm. and making a true hollow point out of this bullet.

With the hollow point breaking up first inside JFK's skull, the maillechort pellet would be reduced to many small fragments, and it is likely these that inflicted the wounds that left the "leaks" in JFK's face. Once the maillechort pellet was gone, the powdered lead and sand would spread out into a 3-4 inch cloud, come to an abrupt halt partway through the brain, and create an enormous pressure wave that would break all of JFK's facial bones and destroy the right side of JFK's brain; leaving a cloud of dustlike fragments inside the cranial cavity. No other type of bullet is capable of being reduced to powder or dust. As I have stated before, lead is malleable, not brittle. This complete breakup of the bullet would also mean there was a very good chance there would be no exit wound.

So, if there were no exit wound, would the coordinator of the sniper team be able to tell if a fatal wound had been inflicted at z230? Of course not, and this is why there were additional shots, with the final shot exiting the back of JFK's skull almost precisely where the first bullet entered.

As JFK emerged from behind the Stemmons Freeway sign, in the Zapruder film, he was clearly in distress and his hands are seem moving toward his throat. Then, at about z230, he clearly experiences something else. His arms go up, his head almost seems to whip slightly to the rear and his whole body appears to move forward.

With the first bullet disintegrated in the top of his right lung, what if the event at z230 is a bullet entering his skull just to the right of his external occipital protuberance ?

No exit wound, you say? Why does there have to be an exit wound?

In my next post I will lay out the evidence that led me to contemplate this possibility.

The mechanical reaction to a bullet entering the head is movement of the head alone as far as permitted by its attachment to the torso. The head shares its angular momenta with the torso upon reaching the limits of its independent rotations and yields imperceptible composition motions of the torso and the head.

Clearly the Zapruder film fails everywhere to show this physically necessary mechanical reaction to an off-centered head shot.

How many deer have you shot, Herb?

Drew Phipps Wrote:The broken facial bones, in and of themselves, don't tell us anything useful about the nature of the bullet. In order to conclude that the bullet disintegrated inside the skull, you have to ASSUME that the bullet didn't exit the skull. Given the wide debate about the exact location of the large hole in the "right rear" portion of JFK's skull, is this really a safe assumption to make?

I'm NOT trying to hijack your thread, or start a debate on the location of the head wounds. I am asking you to rely on less controversial assumptions (like the well-documented existence of small particles in the skull), which should be sufficient to support your argument.
