Bell's diagram shows a circle encompassing chiefly the occipital region on the right side.
Crenshaw's diagram shows a circle encompassing chiefly the occipital region on the right side, extending into the parietal.
Bowron's diagram shows a circle encompassing chiefly the occipital region on the right side, extending into the parietal.
McClelland's diagram shows a circle encompassing chiefly the occipital region on the right side, extending into the parietal.
Grossman's diagram shows a circle encompassing chiefly the occipital region, "far too large for a bullet entry wound", and on the right side.
Chucky, listen....it's *VERY* important that when you lie, you do so in a way that cannot be easily disproven.

Is "trump" your synonym for "matches"?
The AR Report: "There is a large irregular defect of chiefly the parietal bone but extending somewhat into the temporal and occipital regions. In this region there is an actual absence of scalp and bone producing a defect which measures approximately 13 cm. in greatest diameter."
Now let's go back to what Bell, Crenshaw, Bowron, McClelland and Grossman observed. Or everyone else for that matter. **Ev-er-y-one** else.

The true equivalent analogy would be if you flipped that coin 30 or 40 times, and every time it came up tails, and a thorough examination showed the coin was weighted to land on tails, and it kept turning up tails no matter how many times you flipped it, and after that examination it was "concluded" that the coin really turns up heads all along, and you believed it was heads because you liked it that way.

Tell us who NOVA interviewed, and tell us what they said. Then we'll compare it with what they said that day and in days subsequent. But you won't, because you know the citations are readily available, and will embarrass you and dismantle NOVA. You'll hide behind your "fetch the stick" idiocy instead, or the even dumber "Fringe/Boomerang/Brexit/Whatever."
I'm guessing it wasn't Don Curtis, though: "The drawing by Dr. Robert McClelland is essentially my recollection of the wound suffered by John F. Kennedy."

> 1.) He wasn't turned over.
So I guess when Dr. McClelland said "I could very closely examine the head wound," what he meant was, "I briefly peeked at it without turning him over." But let's see what else he said.
McClelland (cont.) "I noted that the right posterior portion of the skull had been extremely blasted. It had been shattered...so that the parietal bone was protruded up through the scalp and seemed to be fractured almost along its right posterior half, as well as some of the occipital bone being fractured in its lateral half, and this sprung open the bones that I mentioned in such a way that you could actually look down into the skull cavity itself and see that probably a third or so, at least, of the brain tissue, posterior cerebral tissue and some of the cerebellar tissue had been blasted out...."
>
> 2.) They were attempting to save his life, not perform an autopsy.
Okay, so let's consult those who performed the autopsy....
Boswell: "The wound was fairly low in the back of the head and the bone was completely gone"
Humes: "There is a large irregular defect of the scalp and skull on the right involving chiefly the parietal bone but extending somewhat into the temporal and occipital regions. In this region there is an actual absence of scalp and bone producing a defect which measures approximately 13 cm in greatest diameter..."
Finck: "The FATAL WOUND (sic) - entry 25mm to the right of the external occipital protuberance and slightly above."
And even though Finck indicates "entry" here, you are forced to deny this claim anyway, because you can't find that wound anywhere in the BOH photo. Strangely enough, this is EXACTLY where Bell, Crenshaw, Bowron, McClelland, Grossman ***and everyone else*** put that wound. You know, all those mistaken experts. They could find it well enough. But you can't. Not in the BOH photo. And that's what's known as a catch-22.
>
> 3.) He did have a hole in the back of his head (of entry) and blood and gore obviously pooled up underneath him on his way to Parkland.
You mean the hole which I could not get you to admit was there?
>
> 4.) Some of the witnesses only observed him briefly.
Just briefly enough to MEASURE the wound, at which time they must have realized what they were measuring was just blood and gore which pooled up underneath him, and not a wound at all.
This is what you have to believe when you're a LNer, and it's frankly fucking embarrassing.
We've already quoted McClellend, who made no mistake as to how "briefly" he observed Kennedy's head. Let's hear from a couple others.
Crenshaw: "It extended from the approximate center of the skull in the back to just behind the right ear, utilizing a left to right orientation and from a position a couple of inches above the right ear to the approximate middle of the right ear utilizing a top to bottom orientation."
Carrico: "The (skull) wound that I saw was a large gaping wound, located in the right occipitoparietal area. I would estimate to be about 5 to 7 cm. in size, more or less circular, with avulsions of the calvarium and scalp tissue. As I stated before, I believe there was shredded macerated cerebral and cerebellar tissues both in the wounds and on the fragments of the skull attached to the dura."
Very specific detail for such brief encounters with what actually turned out to be some "pooled-up gore."
Those studying this case who wish to take the LN position, be forewarned...this is what you have to believe. And this is what you have to explain.

You mean the placement of the wound was approximate, and not scaled to size with a compass and ruler?

They aren't scientific facts on their own, but act as a convergence of evidence (also known as consilience) with the scientific facts of the autopsy examination.

No one needs MythBusters to prove a bullet can transit two bodies. If that was the purpose of the experiment, the whole thing was a strawman on its face, and a rather embarrassing one.

The reason LNers ask this is because they know the *real* question is, "Who DIDN'T kill JFK?" Because once it's determined the answer is Oswald, the next logical step is to look at the people who controlled the investigation, and who were determined to make it known that it was Oswald, and that he had no confederates.

You can speculate all day if you want. What do I care? You're a moron with less-than-pedestrian knowledge of the case. Your speculation isn't worth the shit on my shoe, because you can't back it up with credible evidence which you can defend. The WC drummed up what they could, but they sure didn't stick around to defend it.
