One last JFK poll just to prove or disprove a theory I have.

One such example occurs when Bugliosi attempts to rebut skeptics who claim that Parkland doctors said that JFK had a rearward skull defect that suggested a rearward bullet exit (whereas any bullets that Oswald fired would have exited the front). Bugliosi counters with a quote from one of the Parkland doctors: "Dr. Charles Baxter testified that the head exit wound was in the ‘temporal and parietal’ area." [48] The important word here is "parietal," which is a skull bone that extends from the crown of the head, well behind the hairline, toward the very rear of the skull. When Baxter specified "temporal and parietal," he was then reading his own handwritten notes into the record before the Warren Commission. But nowhere did Baxter say anything about that being the exit wound's location. Moreover, as David Lifton first pointed out in his 1980 book, Best Evidence, although Baxter did indeed say "parietal and temporal" when he read the notes he'd written on the day of the murder, that is not what Baxter actually wrote. [49] Anyone with a copy of page 523 of the Warren Commission Report, or access to a computer, can see that on the day of the assassination Baxter had quite legibly written that JFK's "right temporal and occipital bones were missing." (my emphasis) [50] [F-18] A missing occipital bone, or a gaping wound in occipital bone, would offer evidence that a bullet had entered from the front and exited through the rearmost occipital bone.

Similarly, Bugliosi cites the testimony that autopsy witness and medical technologist, Paul O'Connor, gave at a mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald in London as evidence that a bullet hit JFK in the rear of the skull and exploded out the front. He writes, "I said to O’Connor, ‘You told me over the phone that this large massive defect to the right frontal area of the president’s head gave all appearances of being an exit wound, is that correct?’ O’Connor [replied,] ‘Yes, on the front.’" [51] Despite indicating that he was familiar with what O'Connor had told the HSCA in 1977, Bugliosi withholds it from his readers. The HSCA reported that O'Connor "believes that the bullet came in from the front and blew out the top." [52] O'Connor also told the HSCA that JFK's skull defect was in the region from the "occipital around the temporal and parietal regions." [53] [F-19] Furthermore, for Sylvia Chase's KRON television special on JFK, O'Connor described the wound as an "open area all the way across to the rear of the brain just like that," and with his hands demonstrated the rearward location of the defect. In his 1993 book, The Killing of a President, Robert Groden reproduced a photograph of O'Connor with his hand over the backside of his head, demonstrating the location of JFK's skull injury. [54] Bugliosi discloses none of this to his readers.
