JFK Assassination Forum

The mistake was not taking the body out of Dallas. The mistake was not getting a qualified FORENSIC pathologist to do a medico-legal autopsy. I'm sure there were plenty of those in the greater Washington DC area to choose from. I don't know who was calling the shots but it was boneheaded decision not to employ one of them. They did bring in Dr. Finck from the Army who had some experience with gunshot wounds but that didn't qualify him to do a medico-legal autopsy on a homicide victim. Of course, conspiracy theorists are of the mindset that every misstep is evidence of a conspiracy. They ASSUME, without any evidence, that the Navy and Army doctors deliberately botched the autopsy to hide the true nature of JFK's wounds. Never mind that a team of some of the best medical examiners in the country would later look at the medical evidence and concur with the core finding that JFK was shot twice from behind and there was no medical evidence of any other wounds. They did find fault with the process but ruled despite the flawed process, the autopsy team essentially got the right answer.

   So we have the historic autopsy of a murdered POTUS, and you believe it was merely a "mistake" that they did not get, "qualified FORENSIC pathologist(s)" to do it? There was wall-to-wall "fruit salad" at Bethesda that night, along with 3 Military Dr's doing the hands on work. This was no mistake.   

Nobody knows what time it is in Dallas, 1963.
Yet, wall clocks were electric and mechanical watches were accurate within 10-30sec. on a day

So then the Dallas Police dispatch verbal time stamps are indeed accurate.  I agree.

  That steam pipe is very close to the grate. There are people claiming a shooter fired from the steam pipe area and then escaped by going down that grate/underground pipe. I don't believe that scenario, but claiming alleged smoke was steam only fuels this theory. I have never heard or read about steam actually leaking from that pipe. I understand they were in the process of moving that pipe, but claiming steam was leaking from it sounds as desperate as a possible shooter escaping via that grate. The Wiegman Film still frame to me, shows something high and close to the Triple Underpass. I think the, "tree leaves turning color", explanation does make sense. This does not address Holland's story, but it does put the steam pipe stuff to bed.

Actually, S. M. Holland said the smoke lingered...and that is the exact word he used...

    That steam pipe is not close to the area of the picket fence that Skinny Holland said he saw smoke. Let's get that straight. I don't believe that Wiegman Film still frame shows smoke. But trying to attach that steam pipe to the Holland story is stretching things.   

Same old bogus Michael Griffith propaganda tropes about Prouty.  These have been debunked in detail by Prouty archivist Len Osanic, and Prouty historian Jeff Carter.  As for Griffith's official status as a WCR critic, is it a limited hangout?

Are you accusing Michael Griffith of being paid to post on this board? Can't you just go back to your own forum and leave everybody here alone?
