Exactly the same problem arises when the theory is proposed that the throat wound was caused by a fragment exiting the bottom of the skull. While there is an opening in the base of the skull, known as the "foramen magnum", just above the top of the spinal column, and there is sufficient room between the foramen magnum and C1 vertebra for a bullet fragment to pass, it is a rather circuitous route from there to the throat wound. Also, for the fragment to make such a neat and round exit wound, one would expect it to be travelling straight outward from the throat. It would be expected that a fragment travelling downward from the skull would make a much longer exit wound.
Of course, though, there is always this from the deposition of Jerrol Custer to the Assassination Records Review Board in 1997. As you know, he was the x-ray technician on duty at Bethesda the night of JFK's autopsy.
"On 28th October, 1997, Jerrol Custer provided a deposition to the Assassination Records Review Board(ARRB). He claimed he was certain he took x-rays of the C3/C4 region of the neck and that those x-rays showed numerous fragments. Custer added that he suspected the reason those x-rays disappeared was that they showed a large number of bullet fragments. According to researcher, Michael T. Griffith: "Custer is almost certainly correct. Why else would those x-rays have been suppressed? The missile fragments described by Custer are another fatal blow to the lone-gunman theory, which in turn means there must have been more than one shooter." "

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
