Tony Marsh wants to separate these two occurrences (which are
unquestionably happening at the exact same split second in real time):
1.) JFK is being struck in the head by a bullet.
2.) JFK's head moves discernibly forward between Zapruder frames 312 and
313.
But according to Anthony Marsh of New England, the above two things are in
NO WAY related. There's no correlation between those two in-unison
occurrences whatsoever, per Mr. Marsh.
IOW--Mr. Marsh (like most CTers) wants to deny the obvious.
If there is ANY forward movement of the President's head between frames
311 and 312, it is very very small and difficult to discern. But any
movement between 311 and 312 is not nearly as large a movement as the
forward "snap" of the President's head that occurs at the exact 1/18th of
a second when Kennedy is being hit by a bullet between 312 and 313.
I'd love for Tony Marsh or some other CTer to go in front of a jury and
try to convince them that the forward "snap" (and it's most certain a
"snap", IMO) that is happening between 312 and 313 is occurring simply
because the car was slowing down from about 12 MPH to around 8 MPH at the
time of the head shot.
And Marsh will tell the jury that the forward SNAP, which all the jurors
can easily see in the slow-motion footage linked below, is just a
CONTINUATION of forward movement that Marsh says can be seen when we look
at ALL other limo occupants just before the head shot.
Nobody else's HEAD is SNAPPING FORWARD at precisely Z313 other than JFK's
head. But, Marsh will tell the jury, that doesn't make any difference. The
jury should DISREGARD that forward thrust of the President's head at the
INSTANT the bullet hits him. That snap means NOTHING, per defense lawyer
W. Anthony Marsh. It has nothing whatever to do with the bullet striking
Kennedy in the cranium. ALL forward movement MUST have been merely a
continuation of the forward motion that Marsh says is being exhibited by
all five of the other people in the car at the time of the fatal shot.
Of course, I (as the prosecutor) will point out in my closing arguments to
the jury that the defense attorney is nuts--because, per Marsh's theory,
we should see EVERYBODY'S head SNAPPING forward in the same manner as
President Kennedy's between frames 312 and 313. But we don't see anything
like that. We only see JOHN KENNEDY'S head snapping forward with force at
exactly 313. And which of the limousine's occupants was it who was being
struck with a bullet--IN THE HEAD--at exactly that moment?
I rest my case....and I'll leave the defense counsel to crawl under their
table as they hide in embarrassment.
