The Pneumothorax in JFK's Right Lung

Hi Paul

The scenario from Paragraph 3 is definitely a possibility, but I am still puzzled as to what made the bullet do an almost 90° turn downward after entering JFK's throat. Along this line of thinking, though, it is interesting to read Jerrol Custer's deposition to the ARRB in 1997. He was the x-ray tech who took all of the x-rays of JFK's corpse at Bethesda.

Custer adamantly stated that there was an x-ray of JFK's neck that was missing from the Archives. He distinctly recalled this particular x-ray for the fact there were numerous small metallic fragments in the vicinity of cervical vertebrae C3/C4.
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.
