The Z-Frame that Disproves the SBT

[Gil Jesus]

Governor Connally was struck by a bullet which entered on the right side of his back and travelled down through the right side of his chest, exiting below his right nipple. This bullet then passed through his right wrist and entered his left thigh where it caused a superficial wound. ( Report pg. 19 )

As you can see, the President has already been hit and the Governor's right wrist is nowhere near being BELOW HIS RIGHT NIPPLE.

His wrist is not in the correct position for the SBT trajectory. It's up near his shoulder.

This disproves the Single Bullet theory and shows that the Governor was hit by a separate shot.

Here's another Z-frame that shows the position of Connally's wrist much better.

Dr. Charles Gregory tended to Governor Connally's wrist wound. He testified that the bullet that struck the wrist entered on the back side and exited on the palm side of the wrist.

Dr. GREGORY. The right wrist was the site of a perforating wound...on...the back of the hand...it passed from the dorsal or back side to the volar.
Mr. SPECTER. When you say volar, what do you mean by that ?
Dr. GREGORY. The palm side. ( 4 H 118-119 )

There's no way that that trajectory could have been possible with the wrist in this position. That wrist has absolutely not been struck in this frame and he is still holding his Stetson hat.

No disrespect intended here Gil... z232 is a bit late to determine where his wrist was when a shot was fired while they are obscured by the replacement of the sign within the film (see Davidson's work currently up). From z225 below you can see how JC's right wrist is much lower as he holds his hat in his lap...  The order to "fire", broadcast over a radio to multiple shooters, would result in nearly simultaneous shots..  IMO.  And if we accept that communication was accomplished using radios, simultaneous shots are almost expected, I'd think.

But there are more than enough reasons to shoot the Silly Bullet Theory to hell. such as JC sitting stoic while we can see JACKIE already reacting in response to JFK's reaction to being shot.  JFK was hit at least 10-15 frames earlier (by the fraudulent count of frames offered us by Shaneyfelt)

Again, WCR evidence proves the conspiracy

 

The WCR itself proves the shot impossible.  Any shot to where they say it hits JFK has no chance at hitting JC, just the back of the seat.

Specter proves it.  (the image is reversed for ease of presentation)

 

This Australian special proved it as well.  Didn't anyone tell them the bullet ROSE as it supposedly transits JFK?  And it was supposed to exit the throat, not the chest...

Even if his wrist was below his right nipple at the time of the shot, the trajectory doesn't line up. In order for the bullet to have entered the dorsal ( back ) side of the wrist and exited the palm side, Connally would have had to have been holding his hat in the most awkward way. Like this:

The Z film shows that he was holding his hat with the opening facing him and his thumb facing him. There's just no way he was hit by the same bullet that hit the President and only that bullet. He may have been hit by two separate bullets, as his doctors believed.

Oh I agree Gil... just saying that z230+ is a bit late for a comparison relative to the JFK shot.

Definitely hit by a different shot as a result of a miss as JFK moved after being hit.

Hello Dave,

 

I personally believe that there was a "fire" broadcasted over radios,but some of the rifles were surpressed.

Anywhere from 7 to 9 shots would be a figure that I would be satisfied with.

4 shots/hits on JFK & probably 3 shots/hits on Connally plus the missed shots.

Connally was holding the hat with the opening facing upwards. Then when he is hit, the hat opening is facing away from Connally, not towards him.

 

[Chris Bristow]

The bullet took a 28° downward angle through Connally. I don't know if that means he was leaning back 10° and it came from the sixth floor, or if he was sitting straight up and it came from the roof of the Records building or Dallas textile building, or maybe it was deflected downward.

 Breaking his radius  must have imparted a fair amount of energy to his  forearm  in that downward Direction .  But in the film  he doesn't seem to react that way. I don't know for sure but I think  his arm would go down  for a few frames  before rising up in reaction to the injury.

 that downward angle  would allow his wrist to be about  two to three inches  below the nipple  and about 7 in out from the chest . In that position he would only need to rotate the dorsal side of his  wrist  about 28° towards him.

The lateral angle through Connally was only 15° so the Bullet had to deflect at least 15° if originating from the TSB . If a shot came from the southwest corner of the Dallas textile building the bullet had no lateral deflection. This is all based on Connelly being rotated 20° in the seat.

I don't know exactly where his left leg was or exactly how far his wrist was from the exit wound on his chest. In the diagram the bullet would have to deflect about 50° through his wrist to make it to his left thigh. Tuck his knee in a little more and it would maybe be 30°. Seems like a pretty sharp turn. Connally's rotation in the Z film and the track through his body show the bullet would have left his chest in a direction that was at least 5° to the right of the Direction the limo was facing. The overhead drawings usually put the bullet on a straight line through both men and into the thigh. But if the bullet was from the TSB it had to have deflected twice laterally. That makes it a little harder to explain the near pristine nature of ce399

I believe Z Frame 230 shows Governor Connally "flinching" to his right in response to a bullet fired from in front passing over his left shoulder. There is no facial expression indicating that he has been hit yet. This is an excerpt of a video I did years ago that asked the question, "Was JFK Trying to Cough Up a Bullet ?". This video destroyed the "Thorburn's position" theory and offered evidence that Kennedy reacted to a bullet lodged in his throat.

 

 

[Matthew Koch]

What we are seeing is Connally being struck when the lapel flap happens and at 224, then reacting to that at the 230+ frames. 

https://backyardbrains.com/experiments/reactiontime

The average reaction time for humans is 0.25 seconds to a visual stimulus, 0.17 for an audio stimulus, and 0.15 seconds for a touch stimulus.

We see the same phenomena happening with JFK he is struck around 190 and we see him reacting in the 220+frames, we need to keep in mind that the frames are running 18.3ish per second so these reactions are happening very fast. In both cases there is corroborating evidence (Dictablet, Jackie head turn, and Lapel flap) 

Josiah Thompson was close, but in 6 seconds he wasn't factoring in the reaction time which is why he thought they were hit at 220 & 236 based on the reactions. When the reaction time math and z film speed are factored in the shot are happening slightly earlier than previously thought.

What exactly is the evidence that JFK was struck around 190?

The main one is that Phil Willis #5 photo is taken at that point and he said the gun shot startled him into involuntarily snapping the photo from being startled. Jackie also turns her head from left to right on the Zapruder film at this point. On top of that, the dictabelt impulse that Blakely had thrown out for being a false positive also happens at that point. 

[Charles Blackmon]

Matthew

This is Z190. I get a headache comparing this to later frames trying to determine if Jackie moves her head from left to right. Are you going by a visual that a researcher put together to come to your conclusion?

[George Govus]

Connally is face forward in that frame. He may or may not be reacting to a shot at Z190. Mrs. Kennedy's testimony is that she heard Connally exclaim before she knew anything had happened to her husband.

Sadly my working theory is that the dictabelt recording is a string of coincidences proving nothing, likely recorded by a three-wheeler DPD officer stationed along Stemmons Freeway.
