Dead Wrong: Straight Facts on the Country's Most Controversial Cover-Ups (25 page)

Sherry Gutierrez Fiester is a retired Certified Senior Crime Scene Investigator and Court-Recognized Expert in Crime Scene Reconstruction and Blood Spatter Analysis. Based on her detailed reconstruction of the crime scene and decades of scientific analysis, she has reached the following professional con-clusions:

•“The head injury to President Kennedy was the result of a single gunshot fired from the right front of the President.”
¹⁸²

•“I believe the shooter’s location for the fatal headshot was from a location near the south end of the triple underpass. That position mathematically supports trajectory with angle and elevation; provides concealment, even from those standing on the overpass; and with unhindered access to an adjacent parking lot, offered ready vehicular egress from the scene. Moreover, as Kennedy was looking generally toward that location, it was almost a straight on shot—only slightly right of center—a trajectory that corresponds with the medical evidence indicating the injury to Kennedy’s head was confined to his right side.”

Contrary to a study sponsored by the
Discovery Channel,
which was calculated upon parameters and assumptions not proven to have existed at the actual time, the blood spatter evidence actually at the crime scene is clearly indicative of a frontal shot. (The
Discovery Channel
Study in 2008 was flawed in many respects.
¹⁸⁴
For example, the car in which they studied the blood spatter was not the car in which President Kennedy was shot; it was a test vehicle that supposedly “matched” as far as having the same wounds upon the “victim” after a simulated shooting. However, the wounds that “matched” were only those professed by the official government version of the event and not the actual wounds that were apparently inflicted. Put simply, they “proved” the official version by assuming that it was already true. They did so via a legal faux pais known as assuming facts not proven in evidence. Put simply, they took points that are hotly contested and assumed that the official answers to those points are correct. That’s much like saying the following: If we assume that women have prostate glands, they then have the same prostate problems that men have. In the field of logic, that’s known as the fallacy of falsely assumed premises—it matters not what the conclusion is, because the premises are totally corrupt.)

It has also been clearly established from many reports that the presidential limousine slowed dramatically after the first two shots, almost to a complete stop. Therefore, the directional momentum of the vehicle itself is virtually a moot point as regards the blood spatter evidence.

More Blood-Spatter Evidence of Frontal Gunshot:
In the above photo, note how far back and to the left of the limo the two motorcycle officers Bobby Hargis and B. J. Martin are riding behind the President’s limousine (they are actually nearer to the Secret Service Follow-Up car). The fact that both of their windshields were splattered with large amounts of blood and brain spatter immediately after the head shot is highly indicative of a shot from the right-front of the limousine.

Officer Bobby Hargis, Dallas Police Motorcycle Officer
(riding flank left-rear side, immediately behind President Kennedy’s limousine):

“When President Kennedy straightened back up in the car the bullet hit him in the head, the one that killed him and it seemed like his head exploded, and I was splattered with blood and brain, and kind of a bloody water ... well, at the time it sounded like the shots were right next to me.”
¹⁸⁵

Officer Hargis then dropped his motorcycle and ran up the knoll embankment, as did scores of others, who all thought the shot came from up above that grassy area.

Motorcycle Officer B. J. Martin was also riding flank left-rear behind President Kennedy. His position was even
farther
out (he was to the left of Officer Hargis) from the vehicle, and his windshield was also splattered with blood, bone, and brain matter from the head shot to the President.

U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Paul Landis

Special Agent Landis was riding in the Secret Service Follow-Up car, the car immediately behind the President. He was standing on the right-side running board of the car and was therefore directly behind and only a few feet away from where the President was seated. At the time of the last shot, SA Landis can be seen in the photographic evidence, focusing all his attention exactly where he testified it was:

“My reaction at this time was that the shot came from somewhere towards the front, right-hand side of the road.”

THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE

Overwhelming medical evidence proves conclusively that at least two shots in the President’s body were frontal entry wounds: An entry wound in the front of the throat and another wound of entry high in the right forehead at the hairline. Furthermore:

“multiple eyewitnesses saw the intact entry hole high in the right forehead at the hairline.”
¹⁸⁸

In his 2010 exhaustive examination of every document available relating to the medical evidence in the JFK assassination (a five-volume study totaling 1,807 pages), Douglas Horne documents that:

“Multiple witnesses, who were medically and otherwise credible, confirmed that they clearly saw an entry wound in the FRONT of President Kennedy’s head, in his upper right forehead at the hairline.”
¹⁸⁹

As Researcher Bob Harris points out in his video study of the assassination, the issue of a frontal shot is a medical certainty:

“The 3 top independent experts to study the JFK X-rays at the National Archives were Dr. Joseph Riley, Dr. Randy Robertson and Dr. David Mantik. They each did their research at different times and formed their conclusions independently. But all 3 of them expressed absolute certainty that the President was hit in the head twice.”
¹⁹⁰

Dr. Joseph Riley, Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Neuroanatomy, independently concluded:

“John Kennedy was struck in the head by two bullets, one from the right front and one from the rear.”
¹⁹¹

Dr. Randy Robertson, M.D. and Board Certified Radiologist, independently concluded:

“In sum, it is a medical and scientific fact that the damage to the President’s skull did not result from a single shot but was instead caused by two separate bullets.”

Dr. David Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. in Physics, Board Certified Radiologist, independently concluded:

“ ... there were two shots which struck the head.”

The medical consensus of the Dallas doctors on the frontal entry wound clearly identifiable in the President’s throat was also certain; it was also certain on the fact that the entry wound at the front of the head caused a massive exit wound at the rear. One hundred percent of the medical personnel who viewed President Kennedy at Parkland Memorial Hospital described a large exit wound at the back of the President’s head and have testified as such for the historical record:

•Dr. Charles J. Carrico was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹³

•Dr. Charles Crenshaw was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹⁴

•Dr. Richard Dulaney was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹⁵

•Dr. Ronald Jones was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹⁶

•Dr. Robert McClelland was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹⁷

•Dr. Paul Peters was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
¹⁹⁸

•Dr. Kenneth E. Salyer was a treating physician on the emergency medical team that treated President Kennedy in Dallas. He described a large exit wound at the right rear area of the President’s head. The circumstances were vividly memorable and the recollection is with certainty.
