The autopsy.. 55 years later

[Martin Weidmann]

James Curtis Jenkins.

After enlisting in the United States Navy he won a place at the Medical Technology School that was part of Bethesda Naval Hospital. He was assigned to the pathology department.

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated on 22nd November, 1963, his body was taken to Bethesda. Along with fellow student, Paul K. O'Connor, Jenkins was asked to assist Joseph Humes, Thornton Boswell and Pierre Finck in the autopsy of Kennedy.

Jenkins talks;

Thoughts?

Let's see how long it takes before a LN claims he just wants to sell a book?..

Don't know yet? So far, I've only seen the first part of the interview....

[Martin Weidmann]

Interesting interview, but I fear the defenders of the faith are not going to like it.

Jenkins confirms the body's earlier arrival at Bethesda in a shipping casket, the surgery in the top of the skull (as mentioned by Sibert and O?Neill in their report) the location and size of the wound at the back of the head as well as the bullet entry in the temple, indicating a shot from the front.

Jenkins is one of those men who were ordered not to talk about the autopsy with anybody for many years. Once he was released from the gag order he decided to stay in the background. Only now, faced with his own mortality, is he talking, to ensure that his story is not lost to history. He is yet another person who was present at the autopsy, who, with no reason to lie and nothing to gain, is basically telling the same story as others like him have told to David Lifton in the past.

He just wants to sell a book 

Did Mr. Jenkins say any of this to the HSCA?

I have no idea. I came across the newly posted interview on Youtube yesterday. Haven't had time to check yet.

Are you claiming that he didn't tell the HSCA and if so, is that going to be the strategy to dismiss what he said, regardless of the fact that he isn't the only one saying these things?

   Valenti - It's unclear whether you are merely Quibbling with the time frame being described as "only now" or the Jenkins Eyewitness account itself.  As the ever growing list of Living Eye Witnesses that viewed the actual assassination as well as those that Treated/Handled the JFK Body continues to dwindle, the Jenkins account warrants both Respect and close scrutiny.

[Martin Weidmann]

     Your verbiage does absolutely Nothing to further your point. Why not  bring your level of discourse up several notches?

He can't. He needs to feel superior.... Not that he is, of course.
