Michael Baden isn't sure about Michael Brown's wounds

[Tracy Riddle]

Those who are familiar with Baden's work on the JFK case will be interested in this. Baden deserves credit for performing the autopsy on Brown for free, to help the family. But I find it interesting how he actually had the body in his possession and still has unanswered questions. In the JFK case, he was relying entirely on the autopsy photos and X-rays he was allowed to see, plus the highly questionable ballistic evidence (fragments, CE399 etc.) Baden couldn't examine JFK's body, but felt pretty certain that it all happened just the way the government said back in 63-64.

"Right now there is too little information to forensically reconstruct the shooting."

Dr. Baden said that while Mr. Brown was shot at least six times, only three bullets were recovered from his body. But he has not yet seen the X-rays showing where the bullets were found, which would clarify the autopsy results. Nor has he had access to witness and police statements.

Dr. Baden provided a diagram of the entry wounds, and noted that the six shots produced numerous wounds. Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds.

Baden is a government fixer who will never go against the official story.


The autopsy is pretty much a moot issue. Brown was gunned down, after trying to raise his hands and surrender, by a cop who was probably into a psychological mode of pumping a perpetrator full of bullets. There's no doubt this was a bad shoot. It's time the media stop aiding in this by sensationalizing the results and get down to the real issue which is an unarmed youth being executed by a cop.

Michael Brown would have been justified to keep running since no citizen is obligated to stand there and obey the orders of a rogue cop who intends to murder them with bullets.

My bigger point, Albert, is that Baden had the best evidence in his possession - Brown's body - and still can't determine how many bullets were fired and how all the wounds were inflicted. So his "review" of the JFK case is just worthless.
