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.
Hi Drew
Believe it or not, there is a type of bullet that can be stopped going through flesh. Actually two but the second one I'm thinking of, the hollow point bullets, might need more flesh to travel through.
Once I've gotten through all the inaccuracy myths about the Carcano rifles on the other thread, I'm going to share my theory on just what became of the bullet in the throat. Hint: it didn't go very far.
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.
