If I might ask another question ... and please do not interpret this as defense of one or the other position in this discussion, it is purely an interrogative: has there been any attempt to reconcile the notion of a single, McClelland/Carrico 5-7 cm occipital exit wound at Dallas with the pattern of debris and skull fragments scattered, not only in the limo, but in Dealey Plaza? If someone could point me to something published which at least addresses this issue, I'd love to give it a gander (if I haven't already and thus am suffering from memory lapse). I know Fiester deals with backspatter, but I don't think her argument is tightly coupled to the dimensions or exact configuration of the rearward-exiting wound. Plus she does not really deal specifically with where the bone fragments landed -- or better, where they were reported to have landed. (Not to complicate this question, I leave aside here the thorny issue of where the recovered fragments actually fit on the cranium, which is certainly a relevant question but is somewhat distinct from the one I'm asking here). Thanks!
