Cliff:
You aren't a lawyer are you. I am not either, but I have sat through some trials and read up on procedure and been schooled by some good attorneys.
The prosecution would introduce the autopsy photos of the back.
These would have powerful prejudicial value against your case.
You would then have to do what you could to keep them out.
And the way courts operate today, I doubt you could. The HSCA report was written many, many years ago. Forty years of GOP control through the Federalist Society and the likes of Scalia and Rehnquist have altered the criminal system. Plus at a mock trial, those kinds of things are easier to admit.
But that kind of thing is fine for forum talk, which you seem to relish.
