[Ben Holmes]

That a bullet striking JFK must have completely gone through his body is absolutely essential to the Warren Commission's theory. This is known as 'transit' ... however, there's quite a bit of evidence against any transiting bullet, and only speculation to favor it.

It's important to understand this - THERE IS NO DIRECT EVIDENCE FOR TRANSIT - only speculation. One such speculative bit of "evidence" is the bruise to the apical portion of JFK's lung... but this could have been easily, and most credibly explained as a result of the bullet that entered the front of JFK's throat, and ranged downward... as the Parkland doctors presumed (and treated JFK on that basis!)

Transit is an ABSOLUTE requirement for the lone assassin theory...

The evidence suggests the opposite.
 

• The depth of the wound.
  
• The location of the wound.
  
• The missing interior chest photo.
  
• The original description of the throat wound.
  
• The original autopsy describing a different explanation for the throat wound. (Rankin)
  
• The size of the wound in comparison to it's supposed "exit".
  
• The complete lack of any metal found on the front of the shirt & tie.
  
• The missing report & testimony of Stombaugh.
  
• The earliest attempts to explain the frontal shot (Life Magazine, Mandel's article)
  

A prediction easily made is that no believer will address all of this evidence ... or present their own that supports their faith.
