And you're certain that a scalp laceration was not sutured closed
because......? Do you think, like DVP evidently does, that, if they
sutured a the underside of the scalp laceration closed, they would have
done that so sloppily that the sutures could be seen in a photo? Come on,
JF, that's just silly.

Soooo, again like DVP, you think Humes was lying or hallucinating when he
said:

1. the entry was near the EOP.

2. that the large wund extended into the occipital.

3. that part of the cerebellum was lacerated.

4. that the occipital bone was fragmented.

5. that they stretched the scalp.

Wow!!! Holly cow...if you're right, Humes was, mentally, not only unfit to
be a pathologist, but also unfit to wear the Naval uniform....especially a
Naval officer's uniform.

You are sooo good at interpreting photos...why don't you prove to us the
entry was in the cowlick by replicating F8? I'll tell you why--because
your replication, if done faithfully, would prove the entry was near the
EOP.

Anyway, back to your misstatements. First, the bone was missing all the
way down to near the EOP when that photo was taken. That's based on two
things: 1) Boswell testified accordingly, and 2) the brain was out when
they took that photo. How do we know that, you ask. Not the best question.
In any case, if you'll look real carefully you'll see that the rear scalp
is being held up, and, because his body didn't arrive with the rear scalp
hanging down, we can logically deduce that they were holding that scalp up
because they had previously reflected it.....and that they reflected it to
begin the process of removing the brain.

So, that part about the contour being intact is just as mythical as your
cowlick entry.

Now, get this. There was no missing scalp there because the BOH wound was
not a blow-out wound. IOW, the bullet entering the rear of his head
created an opening (gaps between the dislodged bone fragments) in the
skull there....as well as a scalp laceration over that opening. So, again
by the time that photo was taken, the rear bone and brain were on the
table and the scalp laceration sutured up (from its underside--so the
sutures wouldn't show).

There was when the body was first received---too bad that photo wasn't
taken then, eh, JF?

Yup, you're back to insisting all those (20+) "EYE"-witnesses, including
neurosurgeons, nurses, radiologsts, autopsists, and FBI and Secret Service
agents were lying or halcinating........ya right.

Instead of all these highly credible individuals lying or hallucinatng,
isn't it a little more believable that Fisher (perhaps thinking he was
doing so in the nation's best interest) reported there had been no BOH
wound so that Jim Garrison, couldn't claim such a wound supported his
Grassy Knoll shooter scenario?
