It is a sad day when the wound described by the autopsy report and the autopsy doctors is considered a pet theory.

You know what's sadder? A guy who can't count to two.
1 - Strikes the back, exits the throat, and continues into the Texas Governor. 2 - Strikes the back of the head blowing out the top front of the skull. Both wounds almost exclusive to the 6.5x52mm round fired from Oswald's Carcano. |

Yes, I too am saddened when somebody continues to, bewilderingly, claim the autopsy describes a wound to the "EOP", as an argument for additional bullets, and indeed there is something wrong with the autopsy because of draft numbers...
After all, the wound described is clearly from the region of the "cowlick" on the photographs to the large exit wound caused by trauma ejecta. It's just plain sad that people will read the report, and the conclusions of the doctors given in testimony, and still try to pretend decades later recollections Trump this, or that the word "slightly" can be used to better suit their silly hypothesis. |

You have shown no evidence of any other GSW to the head, therefore you can't hypothesize any other resultant than the autopsy provides all of us. The evidence is clear as Hank posted, one GSW to the back of the head, with one large exit wound in the upper right frontal region.

You were the one complaining about the lack of faithfulness to the autopsy findings. Then you posit a scenario that isn't faithful to the autopsy findings.
You don't remember claiming both those things? You also ignore the fact that all the forensic pathologists from the HSCA & Clark panels that reviewed the extant autopsy materials likewise concluded that the shot that hit JFK in the back of the head exited the top right of the head. So your scenario is not only contrary to the autopsists findings, it is CONTRARY TO EVERY FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST'S FINDINGS as well. You can't salvage it by pretending you're the only one being faithful to the autopsy findings. You're not being faithful to the autopsy findings. You disagree with the experts more than you agree with them. Your layman's view has no standing here -- or anywhere else. And whatever happened to your complaint about the two large bullet fragments found in the car not being ballistically traceable to Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world? Did I resolve that to your satisfaction, or are you still claiming, CONTRARY TO ALL THE EXPERTS THERE as well, that the fragments can't be matched to Oswald's rifle? So you believe in a conspiracy. What I'm confused about is whether your belief in a conspiracy came first and therefore you purposefully ignore the experts that contradict your faith, or whether you decided at the outset you were smarter than the experts, could therefore ignore all their findings, and reach your own conclusions regardless of their findings.

And yet:
So, you treat the wound, as described by the autopsy, including the accurate location, as a pet theory, to justify your inane insistence on two wounds. Let's be absolutely clear: The wound described in the autopsy is a complete wound. It begins on the back of the head, shows signs of massive displacement from a trauma wave, and the explosive exit on the side of the head reaching to the front. You have said yourself that the damage to the brain is not possible from your claim of the entry wound. This does NOT mean there was a second bullet hole. It means your "EOP" interpretation is wrong, because it does not fit with the full description of the wound. It makes it obvious the conclusions of the autopsy (which, by the way, you offer no evidence of having read and understood) to be correct. Your hypothesis is wrong. It does not fit, or best explain, the pattern of evidence. You do not get to cherry pick which bits of evidence suits your hypothesis, a hypothesis has to posit an explanation for the evidence. |

You cannot hypothesize without common sense.
The number of head-shots on any of the assassination films is exactly 1. The number of headshots seen by every eye witness on Elm Street, and in the Secret Service chase car was exactly 1. The number of entry wounds to the skull is exactly 1. Like said before, to grasp the assassination you must have the ability to count to 2. Understanding the head wound means you should be able to count to 1. Your problem is clear. |

You're the one who should be answering this.
You don't understand ballistics, weapons, pathology, or criminology, yet you attempt to lecture here on your amazing discoveries concerning the JFK assassination conspiracy you uncovered -- discoveries you haven't been able to convince one other in the world are true. Hank |

If you want to successfully deconstruct an argument, get it right first.
The three main autopsy doctors, Humes, Boswell, and Finck consistently maintained a lower entry wound under repeated interviewing like the autopsy report implies with "2.5 centimeters to the right and slightly above the EOP". The autopsy report was based in part by measurements of the wounds taken at the autopsy. Five other autopsy witnesses, John Stringer, Francis X. O'Neil, Chester Boyers, Roy Kellerman, Richard Lipsey, have also made statements indicating a lower entry wound. Dr. George Burkley was not asked specifically about the location of the entry wound, but he did verify the autopsy face sheet diagram showing an entry wound roughly in the lower head area. He may have also contributed the line in The Death Of A President about the fatal bullet entering the cerebellum. So he's pretty much a EOP witness. No witness to this small head wound described seeing it on the top of the head. They all indicate a lower location. The consensus on the autopsy participant accounts is further sealed by the fact that Dr. Finck arrived at the autopsy after the brain had already been removed, yet could still examine this wound on the scalp and skull, and always said that this wound was still completely intact within Kennedy's open cranium. Autopsies remove the brain by first separating most of the top of the skull, so therefore any entry defect on the top of the head would also be separated, especially considering that the area around his large defect was so fractured and breakable that virtually no sawing of the skull had to be done. The three main autopsy doctors also made statements later on indicating that a special incision in the scalp had to be made to expose the entry wound low in his head, after the incision and deflection of the had already been done on the top of his head. The brainstem was also reported to be damaged. Cyril Wecht also once wrote about a possible bullet fragment he identified in the upper neck area. Gee, I wonder what freaking "slightly" means! Do you think the red spot on the BOH photos is an entry wound? Well, that was specifically denied by the guy who took the photos, John Stringer, and the three main autopsy doctors. Dr. Boswell even told the HSCA and ARRB that he thought the red spot was a scalp injury related to the large head wound. Think the photographs shows a ruler measuring the wound? The doctors and photographer Stringer have all denied the ruler had any significance. 'Just there to provide Scale'. After all, the back wound photograph shows the ruler some distance away from the actual wound. Think the hair appears to be parted around the red spot? Well the old gang all denied that such washing or parting of the hair happened, but alternately, it could have been a wound of some significance but was not the wound described by the doctors. Perhaps a tear in the scalp like Boswell said, or perhaps an exit for a fragment. It is known that the red spot does not appear to be an actual hole devoid of scalp and bone. It looks two-dimensional. Viewing the autopsy photographs as stereoscopic morphing images will also notice that the red spot appears to be somewhat lower than the HSCA's chosen location on the skull for a higher entry wound. So why doesn't the present official autopsy photo collection show the EOP wound? Well, we know that autopsy photographs have gone missing, and the doctors and photographers have indicated that they remembered close-up photographs of an entry wound in the scalp and surfaces of the skull. The EOP wound could still be compatible with the BOH photographs if it is hiding within his hairline or under a bit of hair. After all, there is witness evidence that a small hole in Kennedy's forehead above his right eye existed, but the existing autopsy photographs do not give a clear view of any hole there (although they definitely suggest some weird activity in that area, with the red 'V' and all). They were probably destroyed by vultures who wanted to keep the forensic evidence as vague as possible. The three main autopsy doctors and x-ray tech John Ebersole have said that they didn't think the X-rays shows an entry on the top of the head. For every person propped up as an expert who agreed that the X-rays showed an entry defect 4-5 inches above the EOP, there's another that either disagreed or couldn't identify any particular entry defect on the X-rays. There is no strong case for the cowlick entry theory. |

And yet the evidence, as discussed at length in this thread, disagrees with your interpretations.
The autopsy disagrees with you. The testimony disagrees with you. Even your own cherry picked quotes disagree with you. You know, you can read the autopsy and see what the word "slightly " actually describes. |

If you can't count to 2, then you have big problems in basic reasoning.
Case in point, your conjecture - based on zero evidence of any kind - that somehow another bullet struck JFK in the head. Something that no other CTist has ever suggested because (while they disagree on where the headshot came from) they can count to two.

Thanks to our wonderful war on terror, the fun bunch with the ZETAS in Mexico, Al Qaeda, and ISIS there are thousands of videos of people being shot; shot in the head, shot in the head a point blank range, shot with a variety of calibers, shot at long range, and chewed up by belt-fed machine guns. I've watched these videos more than I care to admit. Plus, I used to go shooting.

You should take your own advice.

Also, bone-saws are cool, and the human skull is easy to work on with one. They just cut where they could, and carefully worked around the shattered portion, and left the hole. Duh.

Men on the ground in Texas, men at Bethesda, men at the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and Dallas PD. What, you haven't thought it through that far?

I'm sorry, but some guy who thinks the "splotch looks two dimensional" is not going to convince me.
The photograph we have is not great. It looks like a wound to me, and for the life of me, I don't know what some other leyman expects a wound to look like, but let's see what we can assess from the photograph: The hair has been deliberately parted (so why somebody would insist it was a natural cowlick makes no sense to me) to reveal the mark that is the focal point of the image. The scale and framing make this obvious. We can therefore know the mark was considered significant. If it were not a wound, and was indeed just a splotch, we would have to ask why the effort was taken to record an insignificant detail. Those following the thread long enough to remember Robert Prey's...unique sensibilities, will be more than familiar enough with the oft repeated arguments of "the photographer said those weren't their photographs" to know that there were sanitised and unsanitised photographs taken. With more than one photographer taking pictures at different times, one saying "those are not the ones I took" is not the same as saying "they are not of the body", no matter how dearly conspiracy minded folks wish it did. There comes a point when the ignorance of procedures and process, required to maintain the belief in a conspiracy, begins to look wilful. Suspicions simply don't survive if you understand what the autopsy says, what the testimony says, and why. |

It sounds as if you are trying to make a case for your opinion taking precedence over actual evidence and substituting your layman's opinion for those of the actual autopsy doctors.
Does that play well in CT landia? Unless you can answer the questions put to you, you're still losing. |

Surely if one respected the opinions of the autopsy surgeons, when discussing damage to the brain impossible from an "EOP" entry wound, the first step would be to wonder if your interpretations of the wound as a whole was accurate, and reconsider if there is a location described by the autopsy that might fit the damage, rather than assuming a second bullet wound that invalidates all their other findings.
What is more likely: The entry wound is the ONLY aspect of the head wound correctly recorded in the autopsy, and the neck and back wound is also wrongly described. Or: The word "slightly" is subjective and may not mean precisely what Micha expects. Hmmmm. |

Hm, whether to rely on the layman's opinion of some random unknown CTist who clearly hasn't read the WCR, doesn't have enough knowledge to answer simple questions, gets all of his opinions from a CT website and with a proven track record of being wrong or to go with the official autopsy findings which every doctor and qualified autopsist has concurred with...
Yeah, it's a tough call. |

Why would you expect the available autopsy photographs to give a clear view of the EOP wound if they also neglect to expose a significant hole in the forehead above the right eye? Photographs are missing from the collection.
The red spot is around 12mm in diameter and circular-teardrop shaped, not the 15x6mm elliptical wound described in the autopsy report. |

Because there wasn't a hole above the eye which explains why there are no pictures of it.
No honest person saw this hole. None of the ER doctors did, and it wasn't found in the autopsy. Why? It doesn't exist.

The 12mm measurement comes from where? And is +- how many mm?
What do you mean it is "circular-teardrop shaped"? It can't be both, otherwise the best way to describe it would be "ellipitical". The autopsy photos neglect to show a significant hole in the forehead above the right eye? Really? Hank PS: And unsuccessful at even making a stab at answering the points below, you decide to go for the logical fallacy of a red herring and change the subject to another wound entirely. Interesting way to attempt to keep your ideas afloat. |

What a lot of irrelevant waffle.
I don't expect the autopsy photographs to show your misinformed expectations. The point you can't answer is the relevance of what they DO show. That remains the point, regardless of how many photographs you think are missing. The photographs, by their very purpose, is of details pertinent and significant. Your opinion it is just a splotch, then should be a question of why it is a detail worthy of record. The reasonable conclusion being it is more than just a splotch. |

So let's just catch up a moment:
Micha does not think the autopsy photographs we have show his EOP wound, or another wound on the forehead (that the autopsy neglects to mention), and has previously suggested the damage to the brain would be impossible from the EOP wound without a second bullet. Is this not the point that a reasonable mind might consider that the EOP wound is just plain wrong, and perhaps there is a simpler explanation that does not require a second bullet hole from an impossible silenced rifle, invisible on the film of events? Like, for example, the entry and exit wound that is visible (if it looks like a splotch or not) being more consistent with the brain damage, the ejecta on the film, and all that pesky autopsy data and testimony? Not to mention the conclusions consistently drawn from that data by actual experts? |

Let's look at one point in my summary:
I have highlighted where Micha Java states the photographs DO NOT SHOW HIS EOP WOUND. The one he himself has failed to identify. Looking at his response: Let me explain why this holds no water to me. I previously asked Micha to identify the location on the photos where he thought the entry wound SHOULD be. He drew several circles he thought were likely candidates. Even with the X-rays, the actual testimony, the later claims and decades old recollections, he was unable to offer a precise location. How can this be? How can the X-ray show clear evidence supporting a bullet wound, if one can not identify the location from said X-ray? If the X-Ray shows evidence of a mystery bullet hole (and if we take his interpretation of the discussion of the cutting of the skull and such to be accurate this evidence should be a clear and present bullet shaped hole!) from which he can determine that his theory is supported, he should have had no trouble pointing to the location he expects the wound on the photograph. Otherwise, the conclusion to be reached is that the materials are not compatible with his theory, because he has not offered any actual analysis from which the location of the wound could be indicated. This, of course, has already been discussed at length, and I have seen nothing in the conversation since to convince me that his interpretation is in any way valid. |

And you're wrong. If they don't specifically prove it then you have no case.
The combined physical and ballistic evidence shows two bullets fires from the 6th floor of the TSBD. Period.
Quote:
The "repeated clarifying statements" come from interviews and depositions in the years after the autopsy, often asked my laymen, or garden variety morons. From these come the cherry-picking CT industry that pulls out quotes that seem to contradict the autopsy, and they pretend they've found a smoking gun that soon gets shot to pieces by experts. The autopsy explained everything, and is the final legal document on the subject. The fact is that it is possible to over-explain something, which we often see when honest people are confronted by CTist (who are never honest). You have yet to explain WHERE the second gunman fired from, WHAT caliber of bullet was used, WHY nobody saw it strike the president now why he never reacted to being SHOT IN THE HEAD, or HOW every human being in the autopsy room missed it. |

It is in fact established science that memory is not a recording of the event whatsoever, but is a recreation influenced by what one has heard and seen and read in the time between witnessing the event and recalling the event. The further away from the event one gets, the less likely one is recalling what actually happened.
This is established science, shown in studies repeatedly. How a conspiracy critic at this late date can claim to be ignorant of that fact, or doubt the science behind it and cite recollections to the Assassination Records Review Board more than a third of a century after the event and offer them as meaningful is beyond comprehension. In fact, a critic must pretend to be entirely ignorant of that fact to cite those recollections, especially after the truth of the matter has been pointed out to them repeatedly. Of course, since so little of the evidence accumulated in the first year points to a conspiracy, it's perfectly understandable that they would rely on these later recollections. They honestly don't have much else. Hank |

MJ follows the typical behavior of a die-hard CT ignores facts that refute the CT thinking. Misdirects/changes goal posts when caught with beliefs that are debunked. I often wonder how they reconcile all they have on a personal basis.
