Absolute sheer unadultarated tripe.

There is nothing "clearly" about it. The very concept is wayward, wishful conspiracy thinking of the most extreme order. It is within the domain of crackpot body and film alteration speculation that belies common sense.

I realize how upsetting this is to you... but the evidence for a large back of the head wound, combined with the fact that the X-rays show the largest fragments to the back of the head, is clear supporting evidence for a shot striking JFK's temple. Exactly as the very earliest statements by eyewitnesses indicated.

Ad hominem attacks on those who merely point to the evidence illustrate that you realize just how weak your case is... and forces you to strike out.
 

I'm quite sure you're familiar with this:



Naturally, you're also familiar with this one:



And of course, the classic:

As you well know, this is merely the tip of the iceberg for the evidence of a temple wound, and a large back of the head wound... Naturally, you know all this evidence is from actual eyewitnesses, who were there, and saw; yet you pretend that people who merely point this evidence out, and draw the natural conclusions must be extreme crackpots.

The real story of course, is the fact that you cannot even admit the contradictions in the evidence...

The temple wound was caused by the shock wave blasting out tissue and the bullet exit which as you know formed a half crescent in the bone. The positioning of the wound was mistakenly placed slightly further back by most of Parkland staff - which as DVP has stated - and I agree, seems somewhat perplexing. But it does not make the wound actually be in the back of the head as you believe.

Most of the doctors accepted quite easily that they were wrong.

The autopsy places the wound as largely parietal extending somewhat to the occipital and temporal bones (not a quote). 

The Zapruder film shows the wound to be above the ear exactly where the medical report puts it.

So either you accept the Parkland staff were out by a few inches or you have to believe that the Zapruder film has been altered and that the medical records have been tampered with AND that the autopsy staff have been part of a cover up to hide a frontal strike.

It is pretty obvious to me what is the more likely....human error and that a single fatal rear sourced shot killed JFK.

As the body was supine, hair and blood would fall down toward the actual back of the head, it is possible this is why the doctors remembered the wound being further back. I have spoken to a number of head trauma surgeons about this over the years and they have stated that that is entirely possible.
