1. The serviceman described an area of soft dirt that actually had a park bench during the assassination.
2. The motorcycle officer who rushed to the fence area disturbed a bum who was as surprised as he was. The officer didn't see any shooter[s]. The people who rushed up the sidewalk were actually trying to see the limo go north on Stemmens to Parkland.
3.Unanimously??
Dr. CARRICO. With those facts and the fact as I understand it no other bullet was found this would be, this was, I believe, was an exit wound.
Dr. PERRY. A full jacketed bullet without deformation passing through skin would leave a similar wound for an exit and entrance wound and with the facts which yon have made available and with these assumptions, I believe that it was an exit wound.
Other doctors at Parkland Hospital who observed the wound prior to the tracheotomy agreed with the observations of Drs. Perry and Carrico.
4. Not exactly the clearest statement a person could make.
"But from the front there was nothing." means that since the Zapruder film shows his facial features obscured by his scalp, there really was "Nothing" there. It was gone from the exit blast.
1. People thought shots came from the grassy knoll; others thought shots came from the TBD. Shooters were found in neither location.
2. People responded as if the grassy knoll was a possible site of the shooting. Likewise, the TBD.
3. Clarify your statement. Did Perry and Carrico see body after tracheotomy? If so, why quote them at all if you are unbiasedly looking for the best evidence. Are you saying that relying on the Parkland doctors contemporaneous statements, there was not far more support for shots from the front than there was for shots from the rear?
4. Jackie's statement, while admittedly choppy, communicates that she was trying to keep his hair and skull in place. Photos I have seen (I can't remember if they are Parkland or Bethesda) clearly show a flap of skull that could be lifted or put down to cover the missining occipital bone.
