Speer says........."You're just making that up."

I say................

You need to do more research especially as it pertains to human anatomy.

If you think I just made it up, it's because you didn't read and
comprehend what I said and frankly just don't know what you're talking
about.

Try picking on some people who are still alive, ok Speer?

You're just making that up. The wound was indisputably in the shoulder,
inches below the base of the neck. Although the top few inches of the
shoulders are above the bottom of the neck in the front, NO ONE calls the
shoulders the back of the neck.

Here are some definitions found online:

neck
1. The part of the body joining the head to the shoulders or trunk.

Definition of NECK
(1) : the part of an animal that connects the head with the body

neck
1 the part of a person?s or animal?s body connecting the head to the
rest of the body:

neck
1. the part of the body of an animal or human being that connects the head
and the trunk.

and here's one from a medical dictionary, in case you think the standard
definition of neck shouldn't apply to your buddy Lattimer:

Definition of Neck

Neck: The part of the body joining the head to the shoulders.

Get it? The neck ENDS at the shoulders. Period.
