Unpublished JFK Autopsy photo Authentic or a Fake?

[Drew Phipps]

Skull fragments in the car, as well as bullet fragments, (forward of JFK) of support the idea of a rear origin shot. Of course, there were skull and brain fragments on the rear boot as well, which implies a front origin shot. Or some more exotic and improbable scenario. As violent as it looks on the Zapruder film, there simply isn't enough damage to be some sort of "grenade" projectile. The most delicate bones in the head surround the eye sockets and nasal cavity, and would be the first to fracture if there was an "explosion" inside the skull. If there is anything at all in the medical evidence we can be reasonably sure of, it is that his face was relatively undamaged. Interestingly, all the full metal jacket/rear entry test gel-filled skull xrays and videos showed significant damage to this area of the head, as the jacketed rounds, and the accompanying shock wave, penetrated far enough forward to impart significant kinetic energy to the delicate facial bones.

I'm thinking we should be looking for mercury-tipped ammo, or something similar.
