A pistol bullet, for example, entering the middle of the throat could lodge in the cervical vertebrae and not exit the body. Or the bullet may have first gone through the front windshield of the limo (as has been theorized), reducing its velocity before entering JFK's throat. Remember that the .38 bullet shot from Ruby's gun at point blank range was still in Oswald's body. So if the bullets were fired from lower velocity weapons, and/or fired from long range, and/or first went through another object, they could have certainly remained in JFK's body. And yes, a smaller caliber round such as a .22 would be more likely to remain within the body.

Was there a hole in the windsheild? I thought the window was cracked but not penetrated. Also my point on the bullets not passing through wasn't that they didn't. It was that they couldn't. If he had an exit wound on the back of his neck, and one in his chest, to match the two entry wounds from two different guns, in addition to the head shot, it would have instanly wrecked the single shooter scenario. If there was a conspiracy consiting of multiple shooters, those other two guns HAD to fire a round that they knew would almost certainly NOT leave the body, so they could be extracted later to hide the other two guns.
If the bullet did lodge in the spine, the removal of that bullet would have been pretty obvious to the people that did the full autoposy. Did they mention anything about that?
