Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Jerry Freeman]

... I would have administered CPR where the bullet entered, just to make sure it stayed put.   

I believe they did just that.

[Jerry Freeman]

  It was a fluke he killed him. A total fluke. One in a million.

Yeah... another coincidence--they never ever stop.

No coincidence. This is scientific fact.

I don’t think it was a fluke, maybe a 50/50 chance of killing him with a gut shot.

Based on what exactly?

90% of people survive abdominal gunshot wounds. Why are Oswalds chances only at 50% as opposed to every other human in history?

[Michael Carney]

"After Oswald was shot, an unknown policeman administered CPR, which is the worst thing you can do for an abdominal gunshot if you want the person to survive it."

Maybe that brought it down to 50-50, who knows what Ruby was thinking and if he knew that fact back in 1963 maybe he would have gone for a head shot, we don't know.

Something for your viewing pleasure, it's essentially a shortened version of "JFK - The Smoking Gun" and it's free on youtube

I didn't know we had a scientist in our membership

I can't take credit for the CPR statement, someone else mentioned it previously.

[Denis Pointing]

I can't take credit for the CPR statement, someone else mentioned it previously.

I wouldn't take credit for it either if I was you. This actually backs up Ted's argument that Oswald would have probably survived the gunshot if not for the CPR. I've already asked once; Why didn't the Mafia supply Ruby with a more powerful gun?

[Michael Carney]

Ruby was probably directed to shoot LHO in the heart. But I am thinking someone else was supposed to take out LHO earlier probably something to do with Tippit, and Ruby was Marcello's last resort.
