The President's back wound.

[Gordon Gray]

Mr. Rankin:
Then theres a great range of material in
regards to the wound and the autopsy and this point of exit
or entrance of the bullet in the front of the neck, and that all
has to be developed much more than we have at the present time.
We have an explanation there in the autopsy that probably
a fragment came out the front of the neck, but with the elevation
the shot must have come from, and the angle, it seems quite apparent,
since we have the picture of where the bullet entered in
the back, that the bullet entered below the shoulder blade to the
right of the backbone, which is below the place where the
picture shows the bullet came out in the neckband of the shirt
in front, and the bullet, according to the autopsy didn't strike
any bone at all, that particular bullet, and go through.
So that how it could turn, and --

Rep. Boggs. I thought I read that bullet just went.in a
finger's length.

Mr. Rankin. That is what they first said


And we all know that what was FIRST SAID, if it made the LN case against Oswald impossible, was summarily changed.
This passage does not exist in the EXISTING AUTOPSY REPORT.

Wonder why?

Downward trajectory of the back-to-throat wound was determined to be just over 17 degrees

Yet the bullet must travel UP to exit the throat and again DOWN at 25 degrees to hit JC....

The bullet did not transit and was NOT CE399... there was a very small caliber shot to the throat with a bullet lodged in his neck
in addition to the bullet lodged behind his ear....

Oswald did no shooting that day

Not sure what any of this has to do with the question at hand. No one is suggesting the bullet transected the president's body or that LHO shot anybody. The question is two fold; what would cause such a shallow wound, and where would a shot originate from if the angle was indeed 45 degrees? I was hoping someone with knowledge of firearms might suggest various ways a high powered rifle might malfunction in such a way as to cause the shallow wound.
