The discussion
here, from Frazier's testimony, just after Rep Boggs enters the room discusses the lead, or hold over needed to hit a target moving straight away. He states that in order to hit the aim point at that speed, the shooter would need to aim about 6 to 8 inches high. The round that hit the neck seemed to be consistent with this, if it were fired at the back of the head. The second round was fired higher, possibly aimed 2 inches over the top of the head. If the imo had sped up, the second round would have hit further down on the body. possibly passing through the upper chest. If the limo suddenly stopped, the bullet may well have gone high. But then a 4th shot would have probbaly been fired at a stationary target.
This doesn't really change anything, but I think it does show that a straight line acceleration may have still resulted in a second hit, just further down.
