Hard-Boiled Egg
by Herbert Blenner | Posted February 16, 2014
Jerrol Francis Custer was the X-ray technician during the autopsy of President Kennedy at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. He observed an instability of the shattered skull, which is clearly seen on the Nix film.
Mr. Custer described this instability of the skull during his ARRB testimony.

A: So, I had to build the head up. But when I built the head up - The head was so unstable due to the -the fractures. The fractures were extremely numerous. It was like somebody took a hard-boiled egg, and just rolled it in her hand. And that’s exactly what the had was like.
Q: So, when you say that it’s like that, you mean the pieces of the shell are analogous to the pieces of the skull; is that right?
A: Right. And every time we picked the head up, you could feel it. This part of the head would come out; this part of the head would be in. And it was just - The only thing that held it together was the skin. And even that was loose.
Nix frames N-24 through N-29 show an instability of the skull reminiscent of the description given by Custer. I do not know whether Custer saw the Nix film before his testimony. So I decline to label the Nix film as corroborating his then earlier testimony.
