Assume that the bullet stuck from behind and it struck near the occipital parietal area. Further assume that the small in diameter lead/mailechort "pellet" travels forward (and slightly up and to the right) and exits the skull in the parietal/temporal area. Would the "pressure wave" that then subsequently builds up be a sufficient force to open up a weakened area of the skull (between the entry point of the bullet and the exit point of the pellet) and expel a fair amount of brain matter and blood in an explosion-like incident which might look like what is seen on the Zapruder film?
I realize I may be asking you to disregard things which you have reason to believe, and do believe, about the assassination. Please treat this as a hypothetical question and (just for the moment) let's put aside conflicting medical reports about the actual location of the blown-out area, how many shooters and their locations, etc.) and tell me what your conclusions might be about my purely hypothetical situation.
Where would this single bullet be originating from?
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.
