Quite apart from the fact that, if you can tell from the film why Jackie was turning around like that, then you're eligible for a million dollar prize...

...she was trying to retrieve a chunk of his brain?!?!?!?!?

Seriously?

To me she was just trying to get the hell out of there. I don't see her trying to "retrieve" anything.

They sprayed all over them when she was talking to him after the first shot.

Or she was trying to clean off some bird dropping.

Or she was trying to say something to the Secret Service agent behind the car.

Or she had a hissy fit.

Or...

Out of all these, getting the hell out of the way seems most plausible to me.

Does it matter if pieces of the brain that ejected from the shot from behind were big enough to land in her hands?

Fourbrick can answer the question, I'm sure.

Why does the Zapruder film show the massive blowout in the right front of his head with the ejecta blowing out that direction?

This was the piece that clinched the case for me. I used to love "JFK", and I was totally sold on the idea that Oswald was a patsy. But there was always a nagging doubt. The part of the movie where Kevin Costner presents the Zapruder film and goes "back and to the left" over and over again made me confused. I wanted to believe what I was being told, but at the same time, I saw the exit wound in the front of Kennedy's head, clear as day.

Or she scraped them from her dress and had it in her hand. Or any other explanation.

Odd that you can she was trying pick up brains, but some people can't see the prominant rear entry wound, or explosive exit wound ejecta from the front of JFKs head. How aboutwe stick to what can actually be seen. On the film. In reality.

Nice to know you expect people to be entirely coherent when covered in brain matter. Of their husband. Under fire.

Amazing that Robert could see a detail like that in the Zapruter film but could not see an exit wound in the back of Kennedy's head. But Robert only sees what he wants to see.

When Jacqueline Kennedy gave interviews to William Manchester for his Kennedy authorized account of the assassination The Death of a President, she admitted she had memory lapses about the events in Dealey Plaza.

She did not, however, remember seeing the serrated piece of skull ripped from her husband’s head, nor did she remember climbing to the rear of the six-passenger 1961 Lincoln, code-named SS 100 X. At that point she was already in shock, and when Manchester later showed her still frames of dress manufacturer Abraham Zapruder’s film, which had caught the entire assassination on 8-mm. Kodachrome, it was “as though she were looking at photographs of another woman.”

She was turning to start her scramble across the trunk of the car. I didn't notice her pausing to pick up any skull fragments.

How can anybody know what she "would have said", or what anybody "would have said" in a situation like that?
