Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets

[Bob Prudhomme]

The extant Zfilm pans up to Connallys neck at Z280 and stays there until Z310.

What don't we see on film and when?

Dan Rather will help you out.

P.S. Where would the shooter be if Rather saw blood on Connallys white open shirt in the position we see Connally on film. Behind him of course.

Behind, is not the TSBD.

Hi Chris

The problem with Connally being hit at z234, assuming, as some do, the bullet went through JFK's neck first or the shot was from behind the limo, is a matter of alignment. This bullet entered the fleshy material at the outside right edge of his chest, at a point referred to as the mid-axillary line. With JBC facing forward at z234, this bullet likely would have travelled through the fleshy material, at the side of his chest, and exited out in front of him without touching the 5th rib at all. However, Dr. Shaw told the WC this bullet followed the outside of the 5th rib for 10 cm. (4 inches), stripping the rib out for this length but NOT entering the pleural cavity, and exiting just below and slightly to the left of JBC's right nipple; leaving a 5 cm. (2 inch) exit wound.

Do you see the implications here? The bullet entered at the right outside of the chest and entered at a point between the right nipple and the centre line of his chest. In other words, it was travelling at an angle from right to left from the side of his chest inwards. He could only have been turned to his right when shot, or the shooter was further to the west than the SE corner of the TSBD.

Interestingly, Mr. Rather describes the white shirt very carefully but makes no mention of the 2 inch exit wound on JBC's chest. Such a wound, considering it shattered a rib and that the fragments from the rib punctured the pleural lining and damaged the right lung, should have instantly deposited blood and tissue on JBC's white shirt.
