JFK Was Shot From The Front

[John Iacoletti]

Thus none of the riflemen were as familiar with the Carcano as was Oswald, if we believe Marina's reports about Oswald's "dry-firing" on the porch.

Marina didn't say anything about Lee "dry firing" on the porch.

O'Donnell doesn't seem to merely "go along" with a "narrative"; in 1964, he's laying out the rationale for what he heard:

Now O'Neill said he got Dave Powers to "confirm" the meeting but we don't know to what extent. Powers himself was a "shot from the front" fellow, suggesting the Underpass:

Oh, no! What do we have without O'Donnell and O'Neill?

We have all of this:

The radio log states that when the assassination occurred, Curry, who was driving the lead car of the motorcade directly in front of President Kennedy’s limousine, stated, “Get men on top of the underpass, see what happened up there, go up to the overpass.”

Dallas County Sheriff Bill Decker and Secret Service Special Agent Winston Lawson, who were also in the lead car, further bolstered Curry’s adamant view about shots originating from in front of President Kennedy.

As soon as Curry issued the instructions to “get men on top of the underpass,” Decker stated, “I’m sure it’s going to take some time to get your men in there. Put every one of my men there. Notify Station 5 [Sheriff’s Office] to move all men available out of my department back into the railroad yard and try to determine what happened and hold everything secure until homicide and other investigators can get in there.”

Secret Service Special Agent Winston Lawson wrote in his Secret Service report on November 23, 1963, “Chief Curry gave instructions over his radio for officers to converge on the area where the incident occurred.”

There is no ambiguity in Lawson’s report, as the radio log clearly states that the area where Curry instructed his officers to “converge” was “on top of the underpass.”

Secret Service Special Agent Forrest Sorrels, who was in the lead car, wrote a report stating, “When I heard two more shots, I said ‘Let’s get out of here.’ I looked toward the top of the terrace to my right as the sound of the shots seemed to come from that direction.”

He testified to the Warren Commission that he “did not look back” at the Texas School Book Depository “because it was way back in the back.”

Yeah...we know. The shooters were in the pergola.

You yourself posted this in 2010:

    "when Curry was interviewed by the news media on November 23, 1963,
     he claimed that he “could tell from the sound of the three shots that they
     had come from the Book Company’s building near downtown Dallas.”"

Your text above is also eleven-years-old.

Lawson doesn't say the shots came from in front:

    "As the Lead Car was passing under this bridge I heard the first loud,
     sharp report and in more rapid succession two more sounds like gunfire.
     I could see persons to the left of the motorcade vehicles running away."

Sorrells thought Curry referred to "the building"; if Curry did it wasn't recorded:

    "And the chief took his microphone and told them to alert the hospital,
    and said, "Surround the building." He didn't say what building. He just
     said, "Surround the building." And by that time we had gotten almost
     in under the underpass, and the President's car had come up and was
     almost abreast of us."

If the Chief of Police lied after learning that the assassin was alleged to be in the Texas School Book Depository, could anyone be trusted to be telling the truth when they said that the shots came from that building?

Special Agent Lawson wrote in his Secret Service report on November 23, 1963, “Chief Curry gave instructions over his radio for officers to converge on the area where the incident occurred.”

There is no ambiguity in Lawson’s report, as the radio log clearly states that the area where Curry instructed his officers to “converge” was “on top of the underpass.”

On page 3 of this thread back in June 2021, John Mytton posted GIFs of stereoscopic pairs of some of the autopsy photos. This was the image taken from directly behind JFKs head as JFK lay on the autopsy table. Two photos were taken at slightly different angles which allowed for a stereoscopic GIF to be created. Unfortunately the image/gif platform that Mytton used to host that GIF has taken down the GIF (perhaps because that platform only allow GIFs to be put up for so long).

I'm in the process of studying the head wound. Can anyone re-post that GIF here again if they have it?
