JFK was *NOT* hit at 285. Neither was Connally. That was the
missed shot that went on to strike the pavement, where it
shattered and sent a small piece of debris to nick James
Tague and chunk of lead to smear on the Main St. curbing.
It was the second audible shot that day, which matched
perfectly with Tague's testimony that it was the second shot
that nicked his cheek.

It was a silent process. No one heard that shot. The WC
concluded that "most" witnesses only heard one of the early
shots. The same is true of ALL the surviving limo passengers,
including J Connally who was hit then but only "felt" the
shot that hit him.
It was inaudible, to everyone, including Connally.

I have written many times about Bennett, who was *STILL*
turned to his right in the Altgens photo, taken at 255. At
that instant, he was yet to turn to the front and yet to hear
the shot that he believed (incorrectly) hit JFK.
His face is not visible, but look at the knot in his tie.

Yes, he did, but only after you realize that he didn't turn
to the front until after 255.
Also, notice that he said the third shot was fired
"immediately" after the second. 285 and 313 were no more than
1.5 seconds apart.

He said no such thing. Why would you want to misrepresent and
distort his statements?
He said JFK was "15-20" feet from his when that shot was fired.
Kennedy was actually about 18 feet from him then. And Brehm
further confirmed that by pointing to the President's
location in his interview with Lane.
Did you even bother to view this presentation?
If not, then please do so, for your own edification.
>I think you're
> reading far too much into his statement,
No you don't.
I read into it *EXACTLY* what the man said.
You OTOH, distort and misrepresent him.
One one interview on 11/22, he said Kennedy was 15 feet, and
in another 15-20 feet from him.
And this is from his FBI interview,
"When the President's automobile was very close to him and he
could see the President's face very well, the President was
seated, but was leaning forward when he stiffened perceptibly
at the same instant what appeared to be a rifle shot sounded."
and..
"BREHM expressed his opinion that between the first and third
shots, the President's car only seemed to move 10 or 12 feet."

It's a shame that you have to sink to such ugly insults
David, especially when it was YOU who misrepresented Brehm
and made the untruthful claim that I was the one who did that.
He made 2 statements on 11/22/63 and multiple statements two
days later to the FBI, which were 100% consistent and
*EXACTLY* what I claimed he said.
> I can understand

Desperate people usually lie, David.
Wouldn't you agree with that:-)
