Yes and I am very sorry but I just don't trust it, or them, very much at all.
From everything I've read, it would take a good three hours to do a proper autopsy, not 45 minutes.
The thing is, since there was a Dallas component to the conspiracy (some people in the DPD, local oilmen/military intelligence/mob), how do we know Earl Rose's autopsy wouldn't have been compromised too? The plotters could hardly chance it, no matter where it was done. Granted that it was probably easier and more secure at Bethesda.
As you may have guessed Tracy I just quoted Dr. Rose(from his JAMA interview which I couldn't retrieve when I needed it) without looking into it myself to see if 45mins was feasible.
Knowing how many autopsies he performed a year though I could see him doing a fair bit in less than an hour(with a little more assistance than usual and the world standing by) but like you pointed out, if they had left him the body, I'm sure he would have took his time.
I can easilly imagine that he purposely undercut the quote whilst trying to reach a compromise with these burglars.
The other point was that the purpose of the removal as far as O'Donnell was concerned was to get Jackie to a place where she would be far more comfortable. Sounds logical and valid but it never happened, at least not for a good long while.
That's not even what she wanted at that time and if/when she did, there were places in PH itself that could have served her, all Kenny O'Donnell had to do was ask.
That's Kenny O'Donnell's explanation for moving her and the body, HE felt she needed to leave this horrible place.
I really do not know what got into him because his actions are not that of a friend at all and that's why I tend to believe his version of events is not accurate and he was in fact told to bring Jackie and the body to DC like LBJ wanted.
