Drew Phipps Wrote:I don't think it is necessary for the dorsal side of the wrist to be flush against the chest. The bullet was travelling at a downward angle after all. Really all that is necessary is to present the dorsal side of the wrist to the exit point from the chest. To match the z film images of how Connally holds his hat, you must rotate the thumb and fingers down.
Now that I think about it, however, how would a ten gallon hat being held between thumb and fingers, with the wrist folded down, be missed by a bullet or bits thereof exiting the palmar side of the wrist?
Drew
Look closely at this still from the Zapruder film, and tell me, with a straight face, with the back of Connally's right hand facing the camera and his thumb on the top side of his hand, that Connally's hand is rotated so that his thumb is pointing down.
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.
