cmikes, the autopsy professionals all say the entry wound was 2.5 centimeters to the right and slightly above the EOP, no higher than the level of the ears. That's what the autopsy report says, and any autopsy witness who remembers seeing it or hearing them discuss the wound places it around that area. The current official story is that the entry was 4 inches higher than the original location and slightly to the right of the midline as opposed to 2.5 centimeters.

Am I done explaining this for the millionth time? Maybe you should try listening. You act like you have some grasp of this but your words indicate you have no idea.
Wait, now you're back to claiming that the entry wound is
above the EOP? Maybe the reason I'm confused is because you can't get your story straight? If you're arguing in this post that the entry wound is
above the EOP why did you post a diagram in post
#2340 that has the entry wound
below the EOP?
If the point that you're struggling to make is that there is a disagreement between where the autopsy pathologists located the wound and where every subsequent medical panel found the wound, that's been a known issue for decades. Everyone acknowledges that the Humes, Boswell and Finck were under tremendous time pressure from Robert Kennedy* via Admiral Burkley, to the point that Burkley told Humes "They got the son of a bitch who did it, we just need the bullet!" Add that to the fact that neither Humes nor Boswell had much experience with gunshot wounds (Finck, who did have a lot of expertise with gunshot wounds, arrived after the autopsy had already started), and the fact that JFK's skull was literally blasted apart by Oswald's bullet and it's not surprising that they were off on the precise location. There's a whole section in the HSCA report that criticizes how the autopsy was handled if you were actually interested in the evidence.
The point is, though, we don't have to rely on the autopsy. One thing they did get right was to take lots of pictures and x-rays of all the damage to JFK's head.
Again, unless you have some evidence that all the photos and x-rays from the autopsy were faked somehow in such a way that to this day can't be detected, what exactly is your claim?
Even if Humes, Boswell, and Finck were correct in where the entry wound was and all the other pathologist that have examined the evidence since were either completely incompetent, being blackmailed, or members of THEY, so what? It's hard to tell at exactly what angle JFK was holding his head in the Zapruder film. You can tell he's leaning forward with his chin down towards his chest reacting to Oswald's second bullet that went through his throat but that doesn't tell us what exact angle that Oswald's bullet to JFK's head hit at. Also, it's common for bullets to deflect to a different angle when striking a hard, heavy bone like the skull so even if we did know the precise angle that Oswald's bullet hit at it wouldn't necessarily give us a good trajectory.
So
please lay it out for us. What
exactly is your claim regarding JFK's head wound?
*Regarding RFK's control of the autopsy, I should make it clear that I don't blame Robert Kennedy at all for his actions. He was absolutely devastated by his brother's assassination and shouldn't be expected to have been thinking clearly at the time. The person I hold responsible for botching the autopsy is Admiral Burkley. When RFK made it clear that he and Jackie weren't leaving until JFK's body was released to the funeral home and he wanted it done as soon as possible, Burkley should have been the one to tell RFK that it was absolutely essential for there to be a complete and thorough autopsy and maybe RFK and Jackie should go home and he would contact them when the autopsy was done. But the Kennedy's didn't have advisers, they had sycophants, so Burkley just said OK and went to harass Humes into hurrying it up.
