Gunshot Wound

[RJNorton]

Hi Bill. This has always been a confusing topic. The books I have read are not in agreement. In The Lincoln Assassination Encyclopedia Dr. Steers writes:

Dr. Frank Scalli's "personal speculation on the path of the bullet" is here.

In Dr. Lattimer's book the author writes that Drs. Woodward and Curtis said left eye, and Drs. Barnes and Taft said right eye. (In another description Taft contradicted himself and said left eye.)

Dr. Lattimer includes this diagram:

Dr. John Sotos, author of The Physical Lincoln, writes, "The bullet from the assassin's gun entered behind the left ear and lodged behind the right eye."

Help!
