Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The autopsy on President Kennedy was seriously flawed. Had it not been, much wearisome doubt could have been avoided. The ballistics evidence was clear-cut, but the accounting of the wounds was a different matter.

#2

The autopsy of Kennedy was extremely limited, and did not follow proper procedures. The doctors were not full-time forensic pathologists, and did not have the experience to evaluate a death from gunshot wounds.

#3

There is confusion about the location of the fatal wound to Kennedy’s head. Some say it was at the back of the head, while others say it was at the side. The large bone fragment found in Dealey Plaza after the assassination was identified as belonging to the back of the skull.

#4

The head wound that killed President Kennedy was described by several doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, and by doctors and technicians who X-rayed the body at Bethesda Hospital. It was a large, gaping loss of tissue located at the back of the head toward the right side.

#5

Some have suspected that the official set of autopsy photographs at the National Archives is not complete. Some pictures are missing or possibly missing, and some show injuries as witnesses did not recall seeing them.

#6

The autopsy record is missing some of the President’s brain, blood smears, and tissue sections. The X-rays were also mismanaged. The film made by an amateur cameraman in the crowd, Abraham Zapruder, is invaluable for its contents.

#7

The sounds on the Dictabelt were recorded on the day of the assassination, and included gunshots. They were ignored for 16 years, until they were used in conjunction with the film of the assassination made by Abraham Zapruder.

#8

The acoustical evidence was crucial to the Assassinations Committee’s conclusion that President Kennedy was probably murdered as the result of a conspiracy. But it was soon discredited by the FBI, which declared the two-gunman theory invalid.

#9

The acoustics evidence is far from proven, and many researchers think that a conspiracy finding based on the acoustics is untenable.

#10

The testimony of
