Like this one from Josepina C. Aguilar, MD, Shored gunshot wound of exit, (Am J Foren Med Path 1983; 4(3):199-204). :
· The bullet wound in Kennedys throat was not acknowledged, not described, and not documented in any way by the pathologists during the autopsy.
· Subsequent investigations could not possibly examine the documentation of the remains of the bullet wound in the throat there was none, other than a poor photograph, taken from too far away to show any detail.
· The Clark Panel was not guided by the scientific principles described by its most prominent member, Alan R. Moritz: the Panel failed to record a sufficiently detailed, factual, and noninterpretive description of the observed conditions [whatever details suggested the wound was characteristic of an exit at the exclusion of an entrance], in order that a competent reader may form his own opinions in regard to the significance of the changes described.
· Physicians who actually saw the wound gave several reasons for their interpretation of its nature: an entrance wound.
· Entrance wounds need not be perfectly smooth.
· Entrance wounds need not have abrasion collars.
· The size of entrance and exit wounds is affected by the bullets velocity.
· Exit wounds can be small if the area of the bullet presented to the skin is also small and if its exiting velocity is low.
· Abrasion collars of exit wounds are much larger and, in other ways, are distinctly different from those of entrance wounds.
· The known details about the back and throat wounds of John F. Kennedy suggest both could be either entrance or exit wounds.
· The back wound could have been the exit of a bullet that entered the body through the throat. Many researchers doubt this because no hole was reported in the trunk of the limousine; they believe such a trajectory would require the bullet to also penetrate the trunk. This is not necessarily so: if the bullet had exited with very little energy perhaps after traveling from afar it would not have penetrated the trunk.
· The back wound could have been the entrance of a bullet (underpowered) that barely penetrated, then fell out, into oblivion. (A bullet superficially penetrated the thigh of Governor John Connally, creating a round,10mm wound, and somehow leaving a small fragment 8mm beneath the skin. This bullet had very little energy -- allegedly -- because it had already perforated Kennedys neck, then Connallys chest and wrist.)
· The abrasion collar on Kennedys throat wound was consistent with an entrance and most definitely not that of a shored exit.
· There is no reported evidence that Kennedys shirt collar contained crushed skin.
· If Kennedys throat wound were an exit, the bullet that created it could not have had sufficient velocity to perforate Governor John Connallys chest and wrist.
· If Kennedys throat wound was an entrance, it was a typical entrance.

OP
Perhaps you shouldn't use emotional language to describe my responses, MrMickeysMom.

No we are not "down" to anything except you continue to cry over things you cannot control, BB

In addition, there's the simple fact that the Zapruder film corroborates the autopsy doctors.
