Shot In The Throat

[Bob Prudhomme]

Hiding an extra bullet hole in the clothing was as easy as removing material from the garment for testing.

I agree with you about the medical evidence, but that begs the question, "Where did that bullet go?" There really isn't anything in the neck solid enough to stop a bullet, except possibly the spine, but that would have fractured the spine and killed him PDQ. It is hard to fathom how an extra bullet hole in the back of the neck could have passed unnoticed by doctors, or fail to appear on the shirt collar, or how a bullet might have travelled upwards into the skull to exit there.

The bullet which entered the throat exited the back and made the 7 mm by 4 mm wound whose longer axis was nearly parallel to the spinal column as described by Commander Humes. This longitudinal wound was ignored by the medical panels who described their 7 mm by 10 mm transverse back wound with its longer axis approximately perpendicular to the same spinal column.

Boswell and Humes were aware of both wounds and took steps to misplace their reported 7 mm by 4 mm wound at the location of their unreported 7 mm by 10 mm wound. This trick enabled Bethesda and the medical panels to speak of only one wound of the back.

One of the main arguments against the SBT is that it could not have traversed from the entrance wound on the back, to an exit wound on the throat, without smashing through vertebrae on the way through.

Why would it not hit vertebrae going the opposite direction?
