Question:
I've heard that in the ARRB deps. there are at least two allusions to a 3/8 rod running from the wound near the EOP thru the trach. wound in the throat, and that at least one photo was taken of JFK's body at autopsy showing at leat two such thru and thru rods. So, supposedly there was some discussion of connection of the above-mentioned wounds, although the autopsists deny this happened.

In view of the fact that Humes admits that the brain stem was severely damaged, rendering severing of it easy in order to remove the brain from the cranium. This brain stem damage is much too low for the official path thru the brain. However, if one draws a line from the occiput down thru the cerebellum, across a lateral view of the internal structures of the head and neck so as to intersect with a wound just below the larynx, lo and behold, it goes right thru the brain stem!

An upward trajectory from front to back would be too severe (storm drain anyone?), but a trajectory from the rear, not necessarily the TSBD, is certainly possible. Of course, any such speculation of connecting these two wounds would not account for the massive damage to the rt. cerebrum and cerebellum, thereby indicating at least 2 separate shots to the head..

Answer: I've done this and I don't really give a damn where it came from, TSBD or whatever. If this line is extended forward from the throat, you'll notice, it goes to the floor of the limo, not into Connolly's right shoulder girdle. The point I was making and which apparently eluded you, is if this trajectory thru the EOP had been accepted by the WC, as logically it would have in the absence of any other thru and thru pathway, there would not be a SBT, and the fact that a separate bullet struck JBC would be evident.

So the non-penetrating back wound was enlisted to save the SBT, by being raised 3 inches to the base of the neck Then, the EOP entry, which was wrong for a downward trajectory from the SN to cause the massive brain damage and still allow for an exit at top rt. front of head, so the head entry was raised 4 inches to the cowlick area. This latter site is a fabrication, and none of the autopsists agree with the location. The cowlick entry is of course necessary for the trajectory from the SN to account for all the damage to the top of the head, shown in the photos and X-rays (which are highly suspect and incomplete, but that's another story).
