Description of the throat wound. "Dr. Perry made an incision across the bullet wound, just large enough to accommodate a breathing tube. During a phone conversation in 1966 with author David Lifton, Perry said the incision was "two to three centimeters" wide [4, p. 272]. Drs. Paul Peters and Robert McClelland, also present in trauma room one, said the incision was "sharp" and "smooth," respectively [4, p. 275]. After the breathing tube was removed, the incision closed, revealing the original wound in the throat, as described by Drs. Charles Crenshaw and Malcolm Perry. Dr. Crenshaw recalled, "When the body left Parkland there was no gaping, bloody defect in the front of the throat, just a small bullet hole in the thin line of Perry's incision" [5, p. 54] Dr. Perry described the bullet wound in the throat as "inviolate" [6, pp. 100-101]." I wonder how "the body wasn't altered" supporters explain how the thin incision in the President's throat became the gash we see in the autopy photos.

Quote by Michael Walton. "You're right that David Lifton has been around for 50 years. But his basic premise - that some how, some way, while Kennedy's wife was with the coffin during the entire time from Dallas until you see her get off the plane with it, military and/or intelligence personnel squirreled the body away from the back of Air Force One, put it in a helicopter, and flew away with it so other military/intelligence/medico personnel could look at it and cover up all manner of conspiracy - is right up there with many of the other "out-there" theories that have been bandied about over the years." Seems you don't even know the basics, Michael. Jackie kennedy wasn't with the coffin the whole time on the plane. She left it to watch the swearing in of LBJ in the passenger compartment.

For a shot from the South Knoll to enter the President at his right eye socket and exit back of the head would have needed the President to be turning his head to his left as the shot hit him. A shot from the drain outlet on the North side of Elm Street, would meet the correct criteria for a shot through the temple and exiting the back of the head. As Tom Wilson said.

New Article by John Armstrong
Ray Mitcham replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Frazier seems to think that Oswald knew a lot about cars. What non driver would know about clutches and gears? Mr. BALL - Do you remember any conversation when he asked you what the clutch was? Mr. FRAZIER - Oh, yes. We got talking about that. He noticed, you know, most cars as old as mine, you know most of them are standard shift, and when I bought this old car it kind of fooled me it had automatic transmission on it so we got talking about it on the way home driving home and I told him that I really prefer a standard because you know, they are a lot easier to work on and you know, when an automatic goes dead it goes dead, there is no rolling a couple of feet and jumping on the clutch and starting when the battery is down. And I remember he said it was a little bit different to drive with a clutch. I said, if you are not used to it, but if you get used to it. You have to find a friction point on any car, even on Chevrolet or Ford, you know yourself the friction points on a clutch and the brakes are different adjusted on every car you drive. -
Chesser/Mantik cut from Mock Trial
Ray Mitcham replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Saundra Kay Spencer is on record as having developed the extant autopsy photos. One problem...in her 6/4/97 ARRB testimony she stated: <quote on> Q: Did you ever see any other photographic material related to the autopsy in addition to what you have already described? A: Just, you know, when they came out with some books and stuff later that showed autopsy pictures and stuff, and I assumed that they were done in—you know, down in Dallas or something, because they were not the ones that I had worked on. <quote off> So the woman on record as having developed the autopsy photos denies having developed them. Concerning autopsy protocol there's this: HSCA vol 7 <quote on> Among the JFK assassination materials in the National Archives is a series of negatives and prints of photographs taken during autopsy. The deficiencies of these photographs as scientific documentation of a forensic autopsy have been described elsewhere. Here it is sufficient to note that: 1. They are generally of rather poor photographic quality. 2. Some, particularly close-ups, were taken in such a manner that it is nearly impossible to anatomically orient the direction of view. 3. In many, scalar references are entirely lacking, or when present, were positioned in such a manner to make it difficult or impossible to obtain accurate measurements of critical features (such as the wound in the upper back) from anatomical landmarks. 4. None of the photographs contain information identifying the victim; such as his name, the autopsy case number, the date and place of the examination. In the main, these shortcomings bespeak of haste, inexperience and unfamiliarity with the understandably rigorous standards generally expected in photographs to be used as scientific evidence. In fact, under ordinary circumstances, the defense could raise some reasonable and, perhaps, sustainable objections to an attempt to introduce such poorly made and documented photographs as evidence in a murder trial. Furthermore, even the prosecution might have second thoughts about using certain of these photographs since they are more confusing than informative. Unfortunately, they are the only photographic record of the autopsy. <quote off> The autopsy photos are worthless. -
Height photos such as the ones shown above are taken only to show the height. Not the size of the head, so trying to judge the size of a head from one of them is futile.

White shirt, white tie, white pants
Ray Mitcham replied to Steve Thomas's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
If Os had two jackets on how did Bledsoe manage to see a hole in the elbow of his shirt? -
Who was responsible for filling the unopenable Minox in evidence, and when? And why? I believe I already know the answer to my last question. LOL.

In Liverpool, I had just arrived at the bar where I worked part time, when we heard the dreadful news on the radio. The bar immediately fell quiet, and a Catholic customer said a prayer for JFK' soul.

Oswald mock trial drop box of CLE course materials
Ray Mitcham replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Sandy, the incredible thing about the shirt lifters (if you'll excuse the expression) is that they believe that both the shirt and the jacket both rose up the same amount. -
Sorry Mathias, those photos must have been taken with a light meter. LOL.

Thank, Steve. If you remove the title of the book from the log in address you will see a list of other great assassination books and PDFs available. Well done, Barry.

Oswald mock trial drop box of CLE course materials
Ray Mitcham replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Suit jackets have a smooth lining, which eliminates the sticking together of a shirt and the jacket. To think that his shirt and his jacket stuck together like a tortoise shell, stinks of desperation. -
Self preservation?

Agreed Micah. I'll donate 10$ to any suitable charity or this site to help funding. -

Not so Paul. Not all metal file cabinets need a truck to move them. Have a look at this offer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-RED-Metal-Oxford-Hanging-File-Folder-Storage-Box-Cabinet-Case-WITH-KEY-/253065995201 Most metal card filing cabinets are portable.- 1,044 replies

Steve, Ordnance (as distinct from Ordinance) can also mean artillery, which is what 599th was. Military[edit] Weapons and ammunition: Military logistics, especially provision of weapons and ammunition Ordnance weapon, a personal weapon issued to a member of a military unit Aircraft ordnance, weapons carried by and used by an aircraft Artillery often in the formal name, e.g. as in Ordnance Survey Artillery shells, specifically unexploded ordnance -

The Umbrella Man Feature Film
Ray Mitcham replied to Brian Schmidt's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Not only was "Umbrella man" suspicious, but he was standing alongside the curbs which had been painted with short yellow lines. (Denoting the killing zone?) Just another coincidence, I guess.
