I don't have that photo....but do me a favor and remove your white line.......insert another white line below the entrance side tut of hair and stop it at the entrance wound. Now do the same thing on the exit side below the tuft.

Looks a little different when you don't cover up the path, doesn't it.

Like I said.....I don't care anymore (for the sake of this exercise) whether it went above or below the spine....NOR do I think it matters. With the location of the exit wound......if that's an arrow wound.....I think there's some intestinal damage.

I think we'd walk funnier, too if soemone stabbed s with a 12" bowie knife all the way through. But that 4" pen knife can kill you just as dead. Just might take a little longer for you to die.
