Dr. Cyril Wecht Rules Out a Head Shot From the Front

Here is a letter that Dr. Cyril Wecht wrote researcher Thomas Stamm in February 1974:

Money quote:

The biggest problem with postulating a second shot to the head from the direction of the so-called grassy knoll area is that we cannot explain what happened to that bullet, and why there was no apparent damage to the left side or left rear of JFK's skull. If a bullet came from the right side, it is extremely difficult for me to explain how there would have been no damage to the left cerebral hemisphere, or any portion of the left side of the calvarium.
