He ended up hitting himself in the head with it. I mentioned this recently in another thread.
I asked him to point out at what point in the Z-film Connally was turned far enough to his right
that he could have seen JFK and he resorted to the ridiculous claim that Connally made that
turn in the roughly one second he was hidden behind the sign. That is not remotely feasible
Connally could have done that but Marsh kept insisting that is what happened, making a complete
fool of himself in the process.
> He later told the HSCA that he never saw either JFK or Jackie Kennedy.
> Mr. CONNALLY. That is correct. I never saw him [JFK]. I never saw Mrs. Kennedy after the shots were fired. I never saw either one of them, and I don't know when he was hit. They shouldn't have interviewed his wife with him. That clearly affected their accounts.
I think Connally's later accounts were influenced by his review of the Z-film and he saw it
couldn't have happened the way he remembered it. He figure out what things he must have
gotten wrong and developed an account more compatible with the film. Connally remembers
doubling over and reviewing the film he saw that action began in the mid Z230s, so he
believed that is about when he was hit and that was clearly after JFK had been hit so that
might be why he was so adamant that he was hit by a different bullet. What he doesn't
remember was his reflexive arm flip which began at the precise moment JFK's arm's started
moving up. Had he been aware of that, I think he would have been more receptive to the SBT.
We'll never know how he might have responded had he been made aware of that fact. I don't
know who first discovered the simultaneous arm movements by the two men and when that
was discovered. I first became aware of it through DVP's webpage containing the enhanced
frames and that was within the last ten years. Maybe DVP can shed some light on who
discovered that. Maybe it was DVP.
I do think Connally did see JFK was slumped but it was after he had been hit and did almost
a complete 180 in his seat to the point he was facing JFK. Without bothering to look it up, I
think that occurred at about Z270. He remembers seeing that but didn't correctly remember
the sequence of events. That is how our minds sometimes work. We remember details but
we don't always piece them together in the correct order.
