Mr. SPECTER. Not in the Commission?
Dr. LIGHT. Not in the Commission session.
Mr. SPECTER. But at the time when the films were viewed by the Governor?
Dr. LIGHT. Yes; I did.
Mr. SPECTER. At the VFW building on the first floor?
Dr. LIGHT. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Focusing on a few of the specific considerations, do you
believe that there would have been the same amount of damage done to
the Governor's wrist had the pristine bullet only passed through the
Governor's body without striking the President first?
Dr. LIGHT. I think that is possible; yes. It won't happen the same way
twice in any case, so you have got a fairly wide range of things that
can happen if a person is shot in more or less this way.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you think it is as likely that the damage would have
been inflicted on the Governor's wrist as it was, with the bullet
passing only through the Governor's chest as opposed to passing through
the President's neck and the Governor's chest?
Dr. LIGHT. I think the difference in likelihood is negligible on that
basis alone.
Mr. SPECTER. So the damage on the Governor's wrist would be equally
consistent----
Dr. LIGHT. Equally consistent; yes.
Mr. SPECTER. With (_A_) passing only through the Governor's chest, or
(_B_) passing through the President's neck and the Governor's chest?
Dr. LIGHT. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, as to the damage on the thigh, would the nature of
that wound again be equally consistent with either going through (_A_)
the President's neck, the Governor's chest, the Governor's wrist, and
then into the thigh, or (_B_) only through the Governor's chest, the
Governor's wrist and into the thigh?
Dr. LIGHT. I'd say equally consistent; yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And based on the descriptions which have been provided to
you about the nature of the wound on the Governor's back, do you have
an opinion as to whether the bullet was yawing or not at the time it
struck the Governor's back?
