The autopsy.. 55 years later

[Oscar Navarro]

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?

Well, O'Connor had the opportunity to make his claims to the HSCA and didn't and he was not under any gag rule.

Jenkins also had his gag order lifted to talk to the HSCA. If I remember correctly, O'Connor explained later that he wasn't sure what he could and could not say when he was talking to the HSCA. Jenkins talks about his contacts with the HSCA in the interview.

But why are you dragging Paul O'Connor into this?

Sibert & O'Neill, Paul O'Connor, Jerrol Custer, Dennis David, Tom Robinson, James Jenkins and others are all basically telling (parts of) the same story. Why would all these people lie (because it seems that's where you're going with this)? Do you really think that all these people got together at some point in time and decided for no obvious reason to make up a false story?

Seems that Jenkins spoke to the HSCA in 1976 but Jenkinshis testimony was suppressed.
 
James Curtis Jenkins, then a Ph.D. candidate in pathology, worked as a laboratory technologist with the autopsy team. In a suppressed interview, the HSCA's Jim Kelly and Andy Purdy recorded that Jenkins had said, ?he saw a head wound in the ?...middle temporal region back to the occipital.??[277] (Emphasis added.) Jenkins prepared a diagram for the HSCA that was released with his interview. It matches his verbal description, showing a defect in the right rear of the skull.

Because it appears Paul O'Connor  and Jenkins are two sides of the same coin. I don't believe any of the FBI or SSA lied they just made erroneous observations. Drs. Hume and Boswell account were the actual pathologists and it's their observations that has to carry the most weight.

Exactly what I expected; outright dismissal! How you can claim that you are a "serious and objective observer of the evidence" when you simply close your eyes for anything that contradicts your world view. I bet you haven't even watched the interview....

More telling is even that you purposely ignored my question;

To you, people who say something you don't like are simply lying or mistaken..... that's narrow minded and just sad.

    Before waving the HSCA  around as if it were "Old Glory", let's remember the HSCA SEALED the Testimony of White House photog Robert L. Knudsen. Knudsen's HSCA Testimony revealed that he developed B/W JFK Autopsy photo(s) which displayed Probe(s) in the body of JFK running from Front-to-back. This makes the information the HSCA decided to Reveal and Not Reveal to John Q. Public subject to question.

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;

In 1967, the autopsy pathologists (Humes, Boswell, and Finck), the acting chief of radiology (Ebersole) and one of the autopsy photographers (Stringer) viewed the autopsy photographs and/or X-rays and confirmed the photos and X-rays were accurate in the portrayal of the wounds of the President, wounds which they all saw at the time of the autopsy.

How do you know the photos they were shown. were of the President, Bill?
