Arlen Specter corrects Dr. Giesecke

[Guest Mark Valenti]

Mr. SPECTER - Did you observe any other wound or bullet hole below the large area of missing skull ?

Dr. GIESECKE - No; when I arrived the tracheotomy was in progress at that time and so I observed no other wound except the one on the cranium.

Mr. SPECTER - On the cranium itself, did you observe another bullet hole below the portion of missing skull ?

Dr. GIESECKE - No, sir; this was found later by Dr. Clark--I didn't see this.

Mr. SPECTER - What makes you say that that hole was found later by Dr. Clark?

Dr. GIESECKE - Well, this is hearsay--I wasn't there when they found it and I didn't notice it.

Mr. SPECTER - Well, Dr. Clark didn't observe that hole.

Dr. GIESECKE - Oh, he didn't--I'm sorry.

Mr. SPECTER - From whom did you hear that the hole had been observed, if you recollect?

Dr. GIESECKE- Oh--I must be confused. We talked to so many people about these things--I don't remember.

Mark;

Glad to see that at least someone here is making an attempt to review and understand much of how Specter & Company played the game.

Hope this will help! It is page 3 of a 4-page letter which should be on file with the Department of Justice, since it was sent to the attention of Janet Reno some years ago.

Nevertheless, I do believe that it is #14 on the list, and it happened many, many times while Specter attempted to insure that no undiscovered facts ultimately jumped out and bit him in the arse.
