I'm careful not to take a Lone Nut position. I prefer a devil's advocate questioning of assumed CT dogma. Hill very well could have had compressed memory syndrome where he moved further onto and on top of Kennedy after the underpass. Where I start to ask questions is when people suggest the CIA went over every single photograph and film and stood Hill further back with the premise he was too close to the rear wound and therefore would have exposed a forward shot. Be careful, I'm not saying a forward shot didn't happen I'm just trying to question assumptions that might not be accurate. CIA would have had to do a lot of artwork to do that. And I think some CT'ers realize that so they need to push the alteration out in advance of the actual filming by having preparatory Zapruder films shot in advance and awaiting alteration. People should begin considering borderline apocrypha when they start hearing that because once you do that you start encountering new and unforeseen complications that only further the questionableness of it - like sun angles etc. The sword cuts both ways. Again, I'm not putting anything past CIA and am squarely on the side of those who ponder the possibilities, I'm just trying to point out that some CT theory might be making inaccurate suggestions that might possibly be explained otherwise. All valid science has a control model and CT is no exception. Remember, in Hill we're talking a man who speaks about the three separate bullets theory on television but doesn't register the significance of speaking in direct opposition to the Warren Report. You have to remember if Mr Fetzer's theory is wrong it doesn't exclude a conspiracy, of which we all know existed without a doubt.
I think it is possible a shot from the rear exploded Kennedy's head - including the rear 'exit' wound. I feel it is possible, within the evidence, that CIA knew they had a front shooter and therefore assumed the rear exit wound was evidence of a frontal shot that they then covered-up. However it wasn't. It was from a rear shot that exploded the head so badly that it blasted-out the rear exit wound drawn by McClelland. You have to think that Kennedy's head was turned 23 degrees left at the time of the fatal head shot. For a bullet to exit through the rear wound would require a point of origin far to the front of any picket fence shot - which would have been near on 90 degrees perpendicular to Kennedy's head at frame 313. We know it wasn't the windshield shot because Altgens caught that prior to 313. So any reasonable point of origin for such a presumed shot would have to be somewhere near the storm drain by the railroad overpass if it caused the assumed exit wound. I'm sitting on the fence on this one because I don't see that shot. It is *possible*, but I just don't see it.
I believe there's a possible false assumption with the rearward brain and blood material. That pattern is possible from an exploding head from a rear shot. Hill saw an intact section of skull, scalp, and hair on the seat. Assumably the plug that detached from the wound. However if this was the forceful ejection of a piece of Kennedy's head from a gunshot exit wound it seems it would have ejected further according to the position Kennedy was in at the time. However if this was a section knocked-out by a shot from the rear it would remain in one piece as it did, and not eject too far, and plop down - as it did.
It seems some CTer's are fearful of allowing any other theory besides the confirmed frontal shot because they don't want to admit anything that might echo the rear shot, however a rear shot doesn't necessarily exclude a conspiracy.
