58 JC HYPOTHESES cont.
b. penetrated upholstery, coming to rest in soft material, thus
preventing further distortion.
Evidence Against
(1) it would have to have been recovered and placed on stretcher.
(2) no reason for such a bullet to be placed on stretcher.
Hypothesis Retained
C. spent upon exiting Governor's chest and jacket, came to rest in
car without damaging it, or distorting bullet.
Evidence Against
(same as in b above)
Hypothesis Retained
7. entered Governor's back, exited front of chest, then struck his
thigh. Bullet subsequently:
a. was removed surgically at Parkland.
Evidence Against
(1) such surgical removal contrary to all evidence.
(2) if so removed, no reason to place it on stretcher.
Hypothesis Retained
b. fell out of thigh wound; either into his trousers, and from there
onto his stretcher; or later, directly from the wound onto
the stretcher.
Evidence Against:
(1) if bullet fell from thigh wound, it must have been nearly spent
prior to striking thigh -- otherwise, it would have penetrated
to depth that would have precluded dislodgment. But in fact,
bullet-fragment penetrated into his femur; which indicates it
came from missile still retaining considerable velocity.
Hypothesis Retained
