Several things. First, there were two different HSCA committees. The first was looking for conspiracy. The second was trying to cover one up.
On the second HSCA there were competing factions. Almost half the committee was made up of conspiracy believers, the other half of WC defenders. Most of the experts were WC defenders while most of the consultants were conspiracy believers.
The biggest problem for the HSCA designing a SBT was the fact that their interpretation of the acoustical evidence placed the shot at Z-190. And we can clearly see that JFK is seated erect. Baden tried to explain away the angles by claiming that JFK was leaning over by 18 degrees. That might work if they had picked a frame when we can't see JFK or Connally behind the sign. That's what the WC did.
There is an alternative interpretation which you can see on my Web site that places the shot at Z-210.
Even Specter was smart enough to know that if there were no SBT there must be two snipers firing two separate shots. JFK can not be hit before Z-210 and Connally can not be hit after Z-240, so the WC knew there was not enough time for one person to fire both shots from Oswald's bolt action rifle. So Specter had to invent the SBT or admit conspiracy. And that would cause WWIII and the end of all life on Earth.
Specter might have been evil, but he was not stupid and he was not crazy. The SBT is the only way out of the inevitable conclusion.

Yea, Pat believes the witnesses. Because the wound was a mess by the time of the autopsy. So if 20 witnesses each say 20 different things he believes the witnesses are always 100% accurate so he believes 20 different things all at the same time.

Humes said the bullet probably fell out during heart massage. And who are we mere mortals to disagree with an expert?

Of course that autopsists were lying. But about what? They can't be lying about everything. They have to pick and choose what to lie about.
And certain Humes was making stuff up as he went to cover up his incompetence. Ice bullets? 45 to 6-0 degree angle? Brain weight?

Then you need to explain the bruised tip of the lung and the torn trachea. The bullet went back to front, right to left through the trachea.

OMG. Are you actually trying to insult our intelligence by attempting to sell that ultra-ridiculous scenario to us?
You're trying to say a bullet or bone fragment entered the rear skull, passed under the cerebellum, and didn't significantly damage the medula, but made its way out the throat?
Really?
Are you so desperate that you have to propose such silliness as that?
And you post on the Education Forum?
As far as bone fragments go, the autopsists completed the partial circumference by fitting a bone piece (see the one Boswell drew at the bottom of his face sheet) so there wasn't a piece of bone from the skull around the entry that could have traveled the wacky path you propose.
And the autopsists mentioned no pathway from the rear skull entrance even close to being consistent with your silly path towards the throat.
You should realize that there was so much evidence the bullet that entered his back exited his throat you, yes you, could have concluded that night with 100% certainty it did.

You do realize that the back wound, debris around, and possible fracture to, the transverse process (C7), the bruised pleura, and laceration to the right side of his trachea pretty much formed a straight line.....don't you?

That was one of the first theories advanced by the LNers before they knew what was in the autopsy report.

So? There would still be a HOLE after fitting in that piece. What happened to that plug of skull bone that was where that hole was created? Didn't think of that, did you?

Is this the same Dr. McClelland who claimed that there was a huge exit wound on the back of the head and an entrance wound in the left temple? Or do you mean the Civil War general?

The second was definitely looking for conspiracy, a belief that guided
their whole investigation. Blakey and Cornwell were experts on
organized crime in the USA. They believed domestic crime bosses were
behind this assassination in retaliation for the Kennedy
Administration's crackdown on organized crime involvement with unions
and other illegal activities.

Sounds like a good balance of opinions to guide the investigation and
debate the evidence. With all the lawyers involved they knew
speculation was not enough. They were looking for evidence that would
hold up in court. Failing to find convincing evidence implicating a
specific group of conspirators, they took a chance on the Dictabelt
evidence to at least insinuate conspiracy. They gambled on the
analysis of acoustic evidence to make their dubious conclusion there
was a fourth shot from the GK, even though there was no corroborating
evidence to support that conclusion. The gamble failed when other
scientific opinions rejected the so-called acoustic evidence. Shots
from two different directions would indicate multiple enemies, not
conclusive evidence of conspiracy.

There was significant scientific criticism of the proposed acoustic
evidence. This theoretical evidence lacked any corroboration, so any
conclusion based on it would not hold up in the scientific community
or a court of law.

Not if the conspiracy was connected to organized crime, the CIA, a
jealous ex-husband, or any domestic group of enemies. Are you
assuming the Soviet Union or Cuba was behind this conspiracy? What
proof do you have to make that assumption?

Sure, but I laughed that off too....you think a plug of bone could have blasted through the floor of the skull and continued on to exit the throat?
Tell me even you don't think that.
Do you think the lunar landing was staged too?

If you were even a tiny bit familiar with the medical evidence you'd know they all admitted later knowing about the throat wound and that the bullet [that hit him in the bacK] transited that night.....and don't even ask for citations...I'll not do your research for you.
You should have done your research before you came up with your wacky frontal shot theory where the bullet and/or large fragments blew back towads the shooter.

Marsh, you need for them to be lying or for them to be dumber than a bag of hammers for your wacky theories to float.....but if they were that dumb then practically all the medical evidence must be thrown out.
How is anyone supposed to argue with someone who supports that position?
I'd much rather argue with some guy who claimed he was abducted by aliens than someone like you who esentally throws out virtually all the medical evidence discovered during the autopsy.

You know nothing about the HSCA. I was one of the people who lobbied for it's formation and followed the investigation every day. Many of us were convinced halfway through 1978 that the HSCA was going to rubberstamp the WC. Those who had been looking for conspiracy were purged. All the scientific work went into endorsing the WC, even inventing their own SBT. It was only when they had to analyze the DPD tape and accidentally found a fourth shot. That became known as Blakey Problem and they had to scramble to come up with a conspiracy to explain the two directions. But still almost half of the committee, who were die-hard WC defenders, rejected conspiracy and invented the TWo Lone Nut Theory. Blakey chose the Mafia as the villain because he wanted to protect the CIA.

They did not want to look at the Dictabelt, but Blakey knew that he could not just ignore it. He was convinced there were no shots on the tape. He was horrified when Barger called him up and told him that they had found FOUR shots. They couldn't cover it up. Too many people knew. So he had to scramble and cobble together a conspiracy theory based on Oswald being childhood friends with some relative who had six degrees of separation from a Mafia family. But notice that they never even tried to get the FBI wiretaps and they were forbidden from interviewing any FBI or CIA agents who dealt with the Mafia.

Is this a personality defect of yours or do you not understand plain English? I was not explaining MY conspiracy theory. I was explaining what LBJ, Hoover, the CIA and the WC assumed at the time. The raison d'etre for the formation of the WC. It was not created to cover up a Mafia conspiracy.

Pat,
Do you think it nonsense an aerodynamic missile made of lead weighing 160 grains moving over 2000 feet per second can penetrate a bag of water inside a soft outer lining only 0.07 inches (2 mm) thick? The human body is basically a bag of fluid with a skeleton inside to act as a coat hanger. Lead is over 10 times more dense than water and the adult human body is 60% water. If the missile mentioned above misses any hard structure there is little to impede its progress. It may slow down the missile somewhat but not prevent it from puncturing all the way approximately 8" of this liquid filled balloon. This is why I find it amazing so many CTs think it impossible for a military FMJ missile to penetrate two human being sitting closely together in tandem.

Where is your letter to the editor of the Boston Globe pointing out their stupidity?
You knew nothing and said nothing the week after the assassination. You waited for the WC and endorsed it when it came out. Even the ridiculous EOP entrance wound. You may be the last living being in this quadrant of the known universe who believes the entrance wound was near the EOP. By the same measure no one should pay any attention to you.
I know I am wasting my time replying to you, but no one else is brave enough to do it.

Wow, you wrote a letter? So what? Anyway, you should have been doing research instead of trying to draw more attention to yourself....if you'd done more research maybe you wouldn't have conjured up your wacky theory that a bullet hit him above his right eye and most of it blew back towards the shooter.
McAdams should take a poll here...who has the wackiest theory, you Harris, or Speer.

You've said some pretty wacky things, but that's near the top. It shows just how little you've researched the medical evidence.

And with all that insight you still believe a bullet hit JFK above the right eye and most of it blew back towards the shooter?

Again, that's just an excuse for you not reading what they said or any of the other medical evidence...that's why you hink I'm the only one who supports the autopsists' near-EOP entry.
Did you forget about Zimmerman, Sturdivan, and Joe Davis...for starters?

You can assure me no such thing. Besides, that's not the point. My beef with Lattimer is not that he said the path was downward but that he said it was sharply downward, and that the grossly inaccurate Rydberg drawings presented a much shallower trajectory than the actual trajectory as demonstrated by the autopsy photos and x-rays. It seems clear to me he was lying.
In 1974, after viewing the autopsy photos, after all, he'd told Medical Times the bullet "had entered the top of the prominent roll of soft tissue across the back of President Kennedy's neck..."
Now, you've seen the autopsy photos. You were even given one by Belin. is the bullet wound on Kennedy's back, or "at the top of a roll of soft tissue across the back of Kennedy's neck"? Inquiring minds want to know.

That's not the problem. The problem is that the internal damage to the neck makes no sense. When a high velocity FMJ bullet tears through a neck it creates a lot more damage than was done to Kennedy's neck.

No, the problem is that you've devoted seemingly half your life trumpeting your wacky theories and you've got too much time invested in writing articles for your website to face up to the fact those theories are debunked.
IOW your so far past the point of no return on those wacky theories it's sad.
Cripes, that type of round was designed to penetrate enemy soldiers, IOW to cripple vs. kill on the battlefield...where the hell do you think it went after entering JFK's back?
Now as far as damage you seek so much goes:
1. There was air in the tissue bewteen the back and throat wounds.
2. The apex of the right lung and pleura were bruised.
3. Slight fracture of the tip of the transverse process of T1.
4. There was debris seen near C7/T1.
5. The right side of his larynx was contused.
6. There was a nick to the right side of his trachea.
7. The strap muscles on the right side of his neck were bruised.
8. "Free air & blood" was observed in the area of the throat wound, indicative of a wound in the upper right hemithorax (mediastinum).
....not to mention the holes/nick in the clothes/tie bent outward as if a bullet exited there causing those holes/that nick.
What do you want Pat to believe a bullet entered the back/upper neck, transited, and exited his throat where the tracheostomy was performed....a damn picture of a tunnel like hole through his body there big enough to put your fist through???????
Man up Pat and admit you've wasted a kajillion hours trumpeting a debunked theory, and leading newbies down your yellow-brick road!

You should not be accepting his false premises. It was not a high velocity bullet and that FMJ can easily go through tissue without causing a lot of damage.

The wound seen in the autopsy photos did not look like that at Parkland.

What high velocity bullet? The Carcano was not high velocity. The FMJ is designed to not cause horrific wounds.
