JFK Throat Wound: Exit or Entry?

[Tracy Riddle]

Quote: "So, here comes the heresy. What if JFK did not suffer the throat wound until the moment he suffered the massive
head wound(s) at z313, and the throat wound was the exit site of a fragment from a bullet that broke up inside of his skull?"

Bob, you realize that this was one of the original official stories published in the press?

12/18/1963 Washington Post reporter Nate Haseltine breaks the story on the results of the autopsy. "The second bullet to strike Mr Kennedy, the source said, entered the back of the skull and tore open his forehead...The pathologists at Bethesda, the source said, concluded that the throat wound was caused by the emergence of a metal fragment or piece of bone resulting from the fatal shot in the head."

I had heard this theory was considered, but didn't realize it had achieved any official status. If not for the large gaping wound in the right rear of JFK's head, caused by the 2nd bullet to enter his skull, one could almost believe in a lone assassin to the rear.

I think Haseltine's source was someone in the White House. In Thomas Buchanan's book, WHO KILLED KENNEDY, he [size=12]interviewed Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach in March 1964. He stood by the official description of JFK's wounds at that time (that the back wound was a separate shot from the throat wound, and the throat wound was caused by a fragment dislodged from the head shot): "he said that it was based on an exhaustive study of the President's autopsy, and that there could be no doubt about it...He felt certain any person who had studied this autopsy would have reached the same conclusions. I asked him if I could see a copy of it, but he said that he could not release it...when the President's Commission issued its report, the explanation of the wounds had changed completely..."
