Any reasonably objective person viewing the Z film would describe Connolly as angled slightly to his right looking toward his right front in the direction of the UM at Z 224. Between 224 and 230 he turns to face forward his hat in his right hand at the level of his shoulder. He continues facing in this direction until about frames 234-235 when he appears to start reacting to being hit in the back. He then turns back toward his right again, his right shoulder dropping sharply, his torso leaning forward and his face showing the reaction to being hit, between frames 235 and 240. At no time would one describe his head as jerking sharply to his left or his arms flying up. Nor could the movement of his lapel have anything to do with a bullet passing through him at that moment, IMO. His actions appear to be exactly as he has described them. JFK is clearly hit prior to frame 224 and Connolly sometime between frame 230-235 at a time when his wrist was not in a position to be hit from a bullet passing out from under his right nipple.
