ANTHONY MARSH SAID:
Thanks for posting that [CE903]. It again proves that Specter's SBT is impossible.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Commission Exhibit 903 proves no such thing. CE903 pretty much demonstrates the perfection of the Single-Bullet Theory....right down to Arlen Specter's rod being placed nicely into the actual bullet hole in John Connally's jacket. It's a shame that you can't see this fact, Tony.
But, as usual, all anti-SBT conspiracists (like Anthony Marsh, et al) feel the need to abandon all notions of logic and common sense before they ever step into the arena marked "JFK Research".

ANTHONY MARSH SAID:
BTW, who wrote the explanatory text under the WC exhibit?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I did [pictured below].
ANTHONY MARSH SAID:
The author should make clear those are only his fantasies and not part of the official WC conclusions.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Pardon me if I refuse to revise my caption that I used for the [above] CE903 photograph. I like it just fine the way it is.
A SINGLE-BULLET THEORY ADDENDUM BY JEAN DAVISON:
"[Conspiracy theorists] claim that the entry wound HAD to be raised to the "back of the neck" in order to make the Warren Commission's single bullet theory work. But the assertion isn't supported, it's simply a claim. Furthermore, the claim is false, since there was no need to raise the wound into the nape of the neck. Here's the official WC illustration of the SBT, Commission Exhibit 903.
Whether one agrees with it or not, that IS the WC's trajectory for the single bullet, and as you can see, it doesn't require an entry in "the back of the neck".
[...]
My question is still, what evidence is there that Ford made his revision in order to support the SBT?
[...]
To my knowledge, [nobody] has ever explained how moving the back wound up to THE NECK supports the SBT. Nobody CAN support it, because moving the entry to the neck would destroy the WC's SBT
trajectory, not strengthen it.
Again I'll refer you to CE 903. Although Specter didn't drill a hole in the stand-in's body and drive the rod through it, had he done so, the entry would be in the upper back, not in the neck. There's a string on the wall above his hand that shows an angle of about 18 degrees -- that's the approximate angle measured by a surveyor during the re-enactment and the one the WC used for its SBT. If the rod is moved up to the neck, the bullet will exit well above the exit wound under JFK's Adam's apple.
Or take a look at this photo of JFK. Try drawing a line of c. 18 degrees backward from the knot in JFK's tie. Where does it come out? Upper back, right? The claim that Ford's change "strengthens" the WC's SBT is simply not true. If I haven't made my point by now, I give up."
