JFK Assassination Forum

    On the Current Z Film, we see a gusher of blood/brain matter BLOWING OUT of JFK's (R) temple area. I believe you need to view a better definition copy of the Current Zapruder Film. There's plenty of crappola coming out of the (R) temple area. "MOST of the splatter went upward and forward......"? Most = 51%. That leaves plenty of blood/brain matter to be expelled to the (R) side/gunshot side of the JFK Limo. That mess would have landed inside the (R) side of the backseat and/or onto Elm St. If you look at hi def images showing the Newman family laying on the ground, you can see RED Splotches of blood/brain matter on the grass around them.

You neglect the fact that before the headshot struck, JFK was leaning hard to his left. The would turn his temple upward facilitating ejection of blood and brain upward and forward. It also would make it less likely for splatter to go down and to the right.

I haven't seen the clip of the Newman's laying on the ground recently. The next time I do, I will check to see if there are signs of blood splatter. I don't recall either of the Newman's saying they were splattered by drops of blood. I would think that is something they would have mentioned when interviewed on TV a short time later. I also think I would have remembered it had they mentioned it.

In order for any of the splatter to end up on the right side of the back seat, it would have had to go almost straight down from the back of the head wound. It is not surprising at all that did not happen. There was a small amount of discharge to the year which landed on the trunk according to Clint Hill and Jackie was reaching for a piece of his head that landed on the trunk. Most of the splatter went upward and forward as can be seen in Z313. JBC said the middle seat section was showered with bits of brain which JBC described as being the size of his thumb.

Fred,

I've only had time to watch the first part of your lecture but you have done a very good job explaining some important points.

You showed that Dr. Cyril Wecht's position was that the medical evidence was conclusive that JFK was shot from behind. Later, Wecht became a critic of the lone gunman theory based on what he saw in the Z-film and what he believed was the impossibility of the SBT. These opinions were based not on medical evidence, of which he most certainly was one of the leading experts in the country, but on things in which he was nothing more than a layman. He is certainly entitled to his opinion on what the Z-film shows but that opinion should carry no more weight than yours or mine. I doubt in all his years as a medical examiner he was ever aided by a video of a shooting he was examining. His objections to the SBT are also based on inaccurate diagrams, which fail to take into account JBC was sitting to the left of JFK, was lower than JFK, and his shoulders were turned to is right. When one puts JBC in the actual position he was in at the time the bullet struck, the geometry of the SBT works perfectly. The portion of the video from 20:00 to 24:00 shows this perfectly.

I look forward to viewing the remained of this video.

Joffrey van de Wiel:

I don't suspect the JFKAC was well-funded or backed by powerful people.

Who would want to fund a non-existent conspiracy?

My guess is a couple of guys split off from G2, or possibly Alpha-66 (itself penetrated by G2), and conspired with or manipulated LHO (who had a propensity to shoot at major public figures---see General Walker) regarding the JFKA.

That had to be a guess because there's no evidence of that.

They got lucky on the motorcade route.

How much planning does it take to point rifles at the President and shoot? All three participants likely had military or para-military backgrounds. LHO did.

How much planning would it take for one guy to stick a rifle out a window and shoot another guy a short distance away?

The GK smoke-and-bang show as a diversion in an interesting idea. A snub-nose .38, the default conceal-carry weapon of the day, would have served perfectly for such a role.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own concusions.

More speculation with zero supporting evidence.

That's the great thing about imagination. You can dream up anything you like and no evidence is required. It is so limiting when you stick with what there is actually evidence to support.

The only doubt about Oswald's guilt is unreasonable doubt.

The other type of CT are the ones who have not educated themselves regarding the evidence in the case and their body of knowledge consists of what they read in any of the myriad conspiracy books published over the years or Oliver Stone's fictitious presentation of the evidence.

Spoken like a true narrow minded and condescending LN.  There are many researchers that have "educated themselves" and have come to the conclusion that there is overwhelming reasonable doubt.  I have "educated myself" enough to conclude that LHO never fired a shot on November 22, 1963.  And I didn't need the "myriad conpiracy books" (sic) or Oliver Stone's JFK to do so.  There is plenty of evidence that proves as much.  However, it could never be accepted by the LN that soley relies on their own "Textus Receptus" (i.e. the WC) or Bugliosi's thinly argued 53 points  of which all have been argued against throughout this forum (at least it was prior to the forum reset).
