Watching that, I'm beginning to think that Connally was hit much later, maybe closer to the time of the head shot.

I think you may be right, Tracy. I must say that Texans know how to duck and cover when they detect gunfire.

Call me crazy, but for the first time in this deblurred film I'm really seeing Connally clearly. He may not have been hit until around frame 292. In filmed interviews, he talked about turning around to his right after hearing the first shot, then being hit after he started to turn back around to his left. Watch carefully when all of that happens.

At one point he is turned almost 180 degrees, looking back at JFK. You can see the left profile of his face. Could he do all that turning with a smashed rib and punctured lung, which he supposedly received many frames earlier?

I think he is hit just as he begins to turn back toward Zapruder. And where is his back exposed to at that point? The TSBD? The North Knoll? No, the South Knoll/underpass area.

Then, as he is facing toward Zapruder and beginning to collapse into Nellie's lap, he is in position for a second shot from the the TSBD/Dal Tex area to hit him in the wrist and thigh. Or these wounds may have been caused by the first bullet. It all depends on how his arm and legs were positioned in that little jump seat.

In any case, I think we've all been stuck in the paradigm that Connally must have been hit by a shooter behind the limo, and the window for that is small because of how soon he starts turning his body.
