  1. Google Bard, when asked "what ever happened to dr. gene akin, formerly employed at Parkland hospital in 1963 during the JFK assassination, and who later changed his name to solomon ben-israel?", gave this response:

     

    Dr. Gene Akin, who later changed his name to Solomon Ben-Israel, died in 2017 at the age of 85. He was a general surgeon who was on duty at Parkland Hospital in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was brought in after being shot. Dr. Akin assisted in the treatment of President Kennedy, but he was unable to save his life.

    After the assassination, Dr. Akin became a vocal critic of the Warren Commission's investigation, which he believed had not properly investigated the possibility of a conspiracy. He also changed his name to Solomon Ben-Israel and became a rabbi.

    Dr. Akin continued to speak out about the assassination until his death. He believed that the truth about what happened to President Kennedy was still out there, and he hoped that one day it would be revealed.

    In 2013, Dr. Akin published a book about his experiences, titled "The JFK Assassination: My Unfinished Business." In the book, he recounted his memories of the day of the assassination and his subsequent work to uncover the truth.

    Dr. Akin's death was a loss to the community of JFK assassination researchers. He was a dedicated investigator who never gave up on his quest for the truth. His work will continue to be an inspiration to those who are still seeking answers about the events of that fateful day in Dallas.

     

    Is any of this true? I can't find any book called "The JFK Assassination: My Unfinished Business."

    Yes, Cliff. You proved my point. They would ask Stringer if these were autopsy photos he'd taken. He'd say yes. And then for good measure they would ask Humes if the body in the photos was President Kennedy and reflect the wounds he saw on 11--22. He'd say yes. If the defense then so reckoned, they could call contrary witnesses, should any come forward. But no judge is gonna withhold evidence from the record because someone not tasked with gathering that evidence (such as the Parkland witnesses) had a contrary recollection. 

    Say there was a hit and run accident, in which the driver was pulled over two blocks later by the cops, and where the DNA of the pedestrian was found on the car. Say the defense has witnesses who will say the car they saw hit the pedestrian was a different color. Is a judge gonna withhold all evidence related to the car? Nope. 

    Now imagine if this wasn't so. Imagine that fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence linking someone to a crime scene could be excluded if the defendant found someone to lie for him and say he wasn't there. Not good. 

    Now, as far as the "deficiencies" with the back wound photo...I think the HSCA FPP was greatly exaggerating these deficiencies to get their friends on the Clark Panel off the hook. 

    Every single part of the autopsy photos chain of custody is wrong.

    Honestly, I've always thought the lone nutters had a pretty solid point that both men appear to be reacting simultaneously beginning at z222-224. Could've been automatic gunfire, as Connally suspected, but still I don't think the Z film is the best at refuting the Single Bullet Theory. Both lone nutters and conspiracy theorists can rejoice in the basic fact that people being shot don't always react how you expect them to.

    They didn’t have a choice.  The Magic Bullet reared its ugly head during Sibert’s call to the FBI lab — one bullet had to account for two wounds.

    Yes, but it's also possible that Humes called Perry during the later stages of the autopsy, around midnight to 1:30 AM.

    This sounds awfully like the 3 autopsy doctors didn't want to admit later on that they had an exit point in the throat at the autopsy but mistakenly attributed it to a fragment of the head shot exiting at that point. They didn't want to admit that they failed to realize at the autopsy that the back wound exited at the throat. So they conspired to invent a story that they had never been told at all, before or during the autopsy, that the throat wound was anything other than a tracheotomy wound. This story made all 3 of them seem like less dummies.

     

    The diary of George Barnum says they concluded by the early morning hours that a bullet had exited the throat.

    Away from trach incision etc., what I have wondered about the 'stare of death' photograph is just that...the open eyes stare.

    Not certain where I read this some time ago, but didn't some member of the Parkland hospital nursing staff, or perhaps Aubrey Rike, close JFK's eyes before he was placed in the casket at Parkland?

    Yes, Kennedy's eyes were closed at Parkland.

    Thank you, Micah. 

    The excerpts you provided are exactly what confuse me. In regards to the large head wound blow out, the Parkland doctors/nurses/body handlers are almost unanimous with their respective descriptions. The throat wound condition pre-Bethesda is very vague and contradicting. Yes, there are quotes of differing sizes and such.

    Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but it seems at some point, the Parkland staff would have been presented with that photo and asked their opinion of the wound. Has that ever occurred? Possibly the ARRB or HSCA?

    Yes, many witnesses were shown the photographs. But pasting all of that information here would take up multiple pages - from my unfinished manuscript of "The Case For An Altered Throat Wound".

     

    The HSCA only showed Dr. Perry the sketch reproduction of the autopsy photos, and their report does not say whether or not he agreed with the size and shape of the trach.

     

    The ARRB failed to show the photos to the Parkland witnesses.

     

    Only private researchers have tried asking the witnesses their full opinion on the photos.

     

    There is contradictory information on Perry's opinion of the photos - Groden claimed that Perry rejected the trach seen in the photos in a 1979 interview.

    So, the thing you say is an "obvious entry wound" in the Stare Of Death photograph was somehow completely missed (or ignored?) by all of the autopsy physicians?

    How can anyone truly believe such a thing?

    Who is to say whether the autopsy pathologists could have honestly missed a large wound? There is an extensive discussion of that possibility here: https://old.reddit.com/r/JFKeveryday/comments/jz45jj/small_wounds_in_the_front_of_jfks_head_part_11/
