What the Zapruder film, and the other two films which feature the final fatal shot, show is that the President's body is driven violently back into his seat. This has led the vast majority of persons to, at the very least, suspect that the shot originated from the front of the limousine. This suspicion is bolstered by the fact that blood and brain tissue also flew back behind the President's position, onto the trunk of the limousine and also across motorcycle officers positioned behind. Mrs Kennedy was trying to retrieve a piece of the President's skull from the trunk of the limousine - which can be seen in the films. Additionally, the closest eyewitnesses all felt the shots originated from the picket fence area in front of the President. And, additionally, dozens of witnesses who attended to or saw the President's body after the shooting, many of whom were trained medical personnel, saw a large blowout in the right rear of JFK's head.

The true facts should have been clearly ascertained by the autopsy, but the autopsy did not do this and was so poorly handled that the government itself has had to convene no less than three later panels trying to determine what happened. All of these panels have come to differing and sometimes contradictory conclusions - even to the point of where, exactly, the shots struck. It remains a point of contention five decades later. To contrast, the doctors attending Governor Connally were careful and precise in their measurements and descriptions and there has been absolutely no controversy as to the nature or position of his wounds.
