Don Curtis, Parkland resident, on JFK assassination: "the posterior part of his head was blown out."

59. And?

Eyewitnesses to the autopsy also state that the back of Kennedy's head was intact and the wound was as depicted in the autopsy photos and X-rays. Which form documentary evidence of such a nature as to trump any contradiction by eyewitnesses who a) did not see the back of Kennedy's head (because he was never turned over; he was on his back on a gurney the whole time he was at Parkland. The physicians who attended him testified as much), and b) were working under tremendous pressure to attempt to save the life of the grievously wounded President, and thus were in no position to undertake a detailed examination. The extant evidence of autopsy photos, X-rays, and the Zapruder film, all of which show the back of Kennedy's head as intact, contradicts the emergency room doctors who claim the back of his head was blown out. And if the Zapruder film was altered? It was done within a week of the assassination. Within days, in fact. See here (particularly the large image at the bottom left which is, I believe, frame 335): http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=U1IEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA25#v=onepage&q&f=false

"When one has eliminated the impossible", and so on. Impossible: that the back of Kennedy's head was blown out, based on the evidence. Also impossible: that the shots came from anywhere other than behind (the table of the skull, at the rear, was cratered on the inside; this is consistent with a wound of entry; a skull fragment from the frontal area of the head recovered from the interior of the presidential limousine was similarly cratered on the outside, consistent with a wound of exit). Further evidence against any shot from the front: Kennedy's head moves noticeably forward at the moment of impact, approximately 2.3 inches relative to the immediately preceding frame (within the space of 1/18th of a second).
