Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination, Sherry P. Fiester

[Jim Hackett II]

I didn't get that impression.

As per all researchers and their works I don't agree with all of anyone's research product.
It is Carl Oglesby's warning about cherry picking data that agrees with our opinion that keeps me using John Armstrong's two source stipulation.

I too have no doubt about the guns that didn't bark and Mitch WerBells part in all this. As well as common sense, I know one can tell usually correctly where a gun shot came from without seeing the weapon or the flash of its work unless the noise is muted.
The lack of witnesses to a different knoll location as Phil noted is meaningless in the age of much quieter weapons, even in 1963.
I do wonder if the two advertised firing positions held the only not-silenced weapons. TSBD and north Knoll.

The primary point of the book I took was the driving of more nails in the Magic Bullet's Coffin. So it can join it's authorS in the beyond.

Secondary is the demonstration of trajectory that fit the Parkland Hospital witnesses' description of the treatment of the President. Throat entry and Right temple in, Right Occipital exit. As hospital persons almost all said before things became distorted in some manner.

FWIW:
I do not believe anything as valid post mortem evidence once the President's body left Parkland.
Not that all Bethesda personnel were lying but some sure as hell had to be.

I read the eight chapters as a chain of proof of a frontal headshot to the absolute exclusion of the single- or "magic-" bullet theory.

The scientific discussion of "ear witnesses" goes to the dearth of such evidence of a South Knoll shot.

Due to the acoustics of the Plaza and the advent of the silencer, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

McHugh normally rode between the driver and the front seat right side agent--but not that day.

Vince Palamara confirmed this.

The president was uniquely insecure.

The Secret Service had sent the limousine back to Hess & Eisenhardt in August of 1961 for removal of the privacy window.

Connally was down and out of the way. Kellerman and Greer were at the respective ends of the front bench. The field goal was made.

Right temple to right occipital.

Not right temple to left temple.

A shot from the south knoll would correspond to line F in this diagram and run the risk of striking Mrs. Connolly and Mrs. Kennedy. A shot mid way between C and F would strike Geer. Only the shot [ATTACH=CONFIG]4807[/ATTACH]along C would have a chance IMO. But again it would have to be from the overpass where I would expect it would have been detected and it would been through the windshield at an angle. A bullet striking glass at an angle will tend to deflect somewhat. Not a very practical shot, IMO, but possible.

These blowups of the Cancellare photo show the area we're talking about. I don't know who created this blowup, which shows some interest in the area decades ago.
