::: sigh ::: Wrong again. You'll never get out of that jump at the
sound of my voice habit, will you? I admit nothing of the kind. I don't
make admissions, I make statements. Various items learned can be learned
directly from evidence and one need not apply logic to know them. Other
items may not be immediately obvious and must be divined, and logic is one
of the tools to do that with. Try and think it through before jumping.

Nope. Think it through, and then come up with an example. I'll be glad
to explain any example you can find to help you along in learning how to
do this sort of thing.

Then don't try to guess what it is that I'm thinking. I've always

Because YOU didn't understand something doesn't mean that it makes no
sense. It can make plenty of sense to others. Fortunately I don't say
things for you to understand, but for any onlookers to understand. As a
person who needs to change their thinking, you're not my project, only my
useful helper.

Nope, wrong again! Although Humes got in the sentence he was forced by
orders to put in, he also made mistakes in his final Autopsy Report (AR)
that gave away his real thoughts. When he said that the "pleura was
INTACT", he gave away the most information in one sentence. He said (in
effect) that a bullet did NOT go past this point, and therefore did not
exit the body of JFK. Humes also offered the reason for the missing
bullet by saying that it might have fallen out during heart massage at
Parkland.

Nope. Wrong yet again! I would have thought you'd have picked it up by
now, but shooting autopsies have the Medical Examiner dissecting the
bullet paths to be absolutely sure where the bullet came from (direction)
and where it had gone, including where it had exited. The obliteration of
the throat wound did NOT deter from Pierre Finck (the experienced Wound
Ballistics expert) to find the path and describe it...if it existed in the
body. In the observer's sworn testimony, he makes it clear that the
prosectors spent a good deal of time trying to follow the bullet path and
where the bullet had gone. That is mentioned in his statements. Sadly,
Finck had finally come to the conclusion, "There's NO EXIT" from the body
of JFK after all the work of looking.
And BTW, 2 witnesses said that Humes talked to Dr. Perry at Parkland
and learned of all the procedures they performed at Parkland, including
the throat wound and the tracheostomy over it, DURING the autopsy. Look
into testimony of Nurse Audrey Bell and Dr. Ebersole, Radiologist at
Bethesda. So please don't bother me with phony talk that Humes and the
others didn't know about the tracheostomy, or what it hid.

WRONG! You keep trying to pretend that what was learned while
examining the back wound and its bullet was only a preliminary finding,
whereas it was really a conclusion made after much work looking through
the wound and where the bullet stopped. The evidence is there, amazing
that you think your fantasies can get people to believe other than the
facts. The bullet missing from the body was excused by Humes as having
probably come out during heart massage at Parkland, and as you know, nurse
Phyllis Hall at Parkland, saw a bullet on a gurney with JFK, though it
turned up missing later as some bullets also seem to have done.

Yep, except Finck wasn't faced with any contradicting evidence. Humes learned of the procedures and the tracheostomy at Parkland DURING the autopsy, and I doubt he would not tell the other prosectors about what he had learned. So Finck was aware of the tracheostomy over a bullet wound. But it wouldn't matter to Finck. His job was to dissect the path of the bullet, whether the trach was done or not. He didn't do that, and the reason is that he knew already that the path stopped at the pleura and did NOT go past. Otherwise he would have to dissect through the pleura, the lung, and any other tissue along the way to the throat wound. Amazing how your fantasies force you to argue with logic and evidence from the record!

Yes, but Finck had made his conclusion after long examination and search DURING the autopsy. So if someone (Humes) wrote something else in the AR, that had no bearing on what had been found before. That didn't change. They all had to sign off on the AR to follow the orders. So the statement was there that the back wound and the throat were somehow connected, but they were unable to say how. No dissection was done because they knew there was nothing to dissect, because there was no path.

There's plenty of evidence and logic and common sense for everybody here, but you just can't see things like that. You're being blinded by the WCR and what you were told long ago. I've explained the logic, common sense, and pointed out the evidence to you.

Oh, give it a rest! Your made up fantasies get wearing after a while. A number of witnesses saw the wound in question, and there was also an X-ray corroborating it. Also where do you get off trying to fool people into thinking there was no wound? Pierre Finck was experienced in determining entry from exit wounds, and he decided that the wound in question was an entrance wound. That is supported by the wound being ringed in gray color at the rim, which is sometimes left by lead bullets.

You're welcome to name the facts I've invented, and I'll be happy to explain or apologize as needed. I'll be waiting.
