Six Seconds in Dallas-- Old book, a must read

[Gary Craig]

But Boswell himself thought the face sheet markings were approximate and the measurements were what was important.



It's possible the "face sheet" misleading marking with regards to the "back" wound was what Rankin was referring to when he said the back wound was below the shoulder blade.

No. The "face sheet" placement of the "back" wound is much lower when compared to the autopsy photo. The photo shows the distance from the wound to the mastoid tip and the tip of the scapula to be equal. This was recorded (presumably accurately) as an equal distance and presented in the autopsy report.

    "This wound is measured to be 14 cm. from the tip of the right acromion
      process and 14 cm. below the tip of the right mastoid process."

Right Jerry.

These are the same autopsy doctors who missed the throat wound.

They also, if you're to believe the Clark Panel, Rockefeller Commission, HSCA and I think the Church Committee, placed the wound in the back of JFK's skull to low. 4 inches too low.

Although some believe it was changed by the Clark Panel only after critics pointed out a wound at EOP on the back of JFK's skull doesn't work for a LN shooter from the 6th floor SE corner TSBD.

Others believe the Clark Panel found a second wound track, meaning 2 separate bullets.

   If You are going to agree that the Autopsy Dr's, "weren't competent", You are also casting Doubt on Everything Else that these same Dr's observed/touched/& measured during the Autopsy. Thanks for that Jerry!

   You can Not have it both ways. Either you want to be "dead on, balls accurate" with Everything or You do Not. If you are going to be "dead on, balls accurate", then we have a Huge Issue with the size of the bullet hole in JFK's skull.

We don't have the size of the bullet hole in JFK's skull. The pathologists never measured it. Or if they did , they never recorded it.

   Better look again Magoo! Do you see that Mark drawn on the back of the head with a "15" to the side? Yeah, head wound and size.

Those are the dimensions of the scalp laceration, not of the hole in the skull.

   Are You saying there is a laceration running down the Rear/Back of JFK's head? Remember, Humes used pieces of the skull that the SS hand carried into the autopsy room to reassemble the skull.

I'm saying that those dimensions on the Facesheet were of a lacerated wound in the scalp. From the autopsy report:

Situated in the posterior scalp approximately 2.5 cm. laterally to the right and slightly above the external occipital protuberance is a lacerated wound measuring 15 x 6 mm.

   If this is the case, why is this wound Not drawn onto the Back/"Posterior" of the skull? You notice the bullet hole in the Back has a line extending outward from it leading to information pertaining to that bullet hole. There is also a line extending from the Bullet Hole in the back of the head with information at the end of it.
