How many times during the course of those conferences was the following question asked from the podium:
"What happened to the bullets that caused the back and throat wounds?"
To the best of my knowledge (I'd love to stand corrected!), this key question was asked once.
Once.
By Cyril Wecht, who didn't try to answer the question during his presentation, but afterwards went on TV and claimed that one bullet caused both wounds.
The Zombie Lie from Pittsburgh!
What was the hot topic at Wecht?
The headwound/s.
So please tell me who is being mono-manical here, Albert-- me, or all ya'all?
::laughingdog::
WHAT??? Wecht went on tv and said one bullet caused both the throat and back wounds? Did you hear this correctly? I saw him at COPA - he was the keynote speaker and he did not say anything remotely intellectually dishonest as this. Could the damn media have edited his words? Certainly not the first time. NBC did this to Garrison decades ago to make him look like a fool.

Dawn, Bill Kelly posted the info about Wecht after the first day of the Pittsburgh conference. I did not see the footage myself.
Bill said Wecht went on local Pittsburgh TV and claimed one bullet caused both wounds.
