Free Who Really Killed Kennedy?: 50 Years Later: Stunning New Revelations About the JFK Assassination by Jerome Corsi Page B

slightly to the right of the spine.” Ford argued he did not alter the language to support the single-bullet theory, but because he felt the changes made the language more precise. 92
    Specter’s efforts to establish the single-bullet theory inevitably required moving JFK’s back wound higher. Commission Exhibit 903 is a photograph taken on May 24, 1964, the same day as the Warren Commission’s re-enactment of the assassination in Dealey Plaza. 93 In the photograph, Arlen Specter can be seen holding a metal rod or pointer at approximately a 17.5 degree angle—the angle the Commission calculated was required for the single bullet to hit both JFK and Connally. Two stand-ins are sitting in the JFK limo, one in JFK’s seat and the other in Connally’s seat. The person in Connally’s seat is wearing the same suit jacket Connally wore when he was shot. This gave Specter an exact location within which to point the tip of his metal rod. Examined closely, it is clear Specter had placed the pointer on JFK’s shoulder to make the angle work. HadSpecter placed the pointer four or five inches down on the JFK actor’s back—much closer to the actual location in which the bullet hit JFK, the bullet passing through JFK’s neck according to this photograph would have had to travel an upward trajectory, making it highly likely the bullet would have missed Connally altogether.
    When examining FBI firearms expert Robert A. Frazier, Specter returned to asking hypothetical questions in the attempt to establish a downward trajectory could be established between JFK’s back wound and neck wound that would permit the argument that CE399, fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, could have transited JFK to enter Connally. Consider the following exchange:
    Mr. Specter : I have one additional question.
    Mr. Frazier, assuming the factors which I have asked you to accept as true for the purposes of expressing an opinion before, as to the flight of the bullet and the straight line penetration through the President’s body, considering the point of entry and exit, do you have an opinion as to what probably happened during the interval between [Zapruder] frames 207 and 225 as to whether the bullet which passed through the neck of the President entered the Governor’s back?
    Mr. Frazier : There are a lot of probables in that. First, we have to assume that there is absolutely no deflection in the bullet from the time it left the barrel until the time it exited from the Governor’s body. That assumes that it has gone through the President’s body and through the Governor’s body.
    I feel that physically this would have been possible because of the positions of the Presidential stand-in and the Governor’s stand-in [in the FBI reconstruction], it would be entirely possible for this to have occurred.
    However, I myself don’t have any technical evidence, which would permit me to say one way or the other. In other words, that would support it as far as my rendering an opinion as an expert. I would certainly say it was possible but I don’t say that it probably occurred because I don’t have the evidence on which to base a statement like that.
    Mr. Specter : What evidence is it that you would be missing to assess the possibilities?
    Mr. Frazier : We are dealing with hypothetical situations here of placing people in cars from photographs which are not absolutelyaccurate. They are two-dimensional. They don’t give you the third dimension. They are as accurate as you can accurately place the people but it isn’t absolute.
    Secondly, we are dealing with the fact that we don’t know whether, I don’t know technically, whether there was any deviation in the bullet which struck the President in the back, and exited from his throat. If there were a few degrees deviation then it may affect my opinion as to whether or not it would have struck the governor.
    We are dealing with an assumed fact that the Governor was in front of
