The author (or person who uploaded that video) says the bullet came from the left. Another poster says it came from the back and the left. I can't see the bullet. Two other people suggest it was a hollow point bullet, which would interact differently by design.
Clearly the big injury appears first on the right, and that is consistent with entry on the left. The normal pattern is that the entry wound is small and the exit wound is large. What is consistent in the Warren testimony of all the attending physicians is that Kennedy was lying on his back. The doctors saw the small (entry) wound on his forehead, but he was still breathing at the time and they didn't judge that wound to be necessarily fatal. The rushed with emergency procedures to allow air (tracheotomy) and to quickly infuse plasma via a leg artery. They had not seen the big wound in the back of his head, the exit wound. As soon as they saw the big wound, they knew it was over and discontinued their resuscitation.
It had to be that way. They all said he was on his back and they didn't see the back of his head at first. So the entry wound was what they were looking at. If they had seen the exit wound, they wouldn't have done any other procedures.
Really, you are defending an impossible position and nobody is buying it.
