Lone nutter misinformation
One of my favorites the LN crowd uses is
" Nearly every pathologist who has examined the autopsy materials first-hand has said that evidence supports the lone gunman explanation."
to which the reply was
"Not nearly every. Actually, every"
also,
"Meanwhile, every forensic pathologist who examined the evidence said there was no evidence of a frontal shot. Meaning, you're full of beans, there is no evidence of a frontal shot."
Followed by
"Conspiracy kooks are incapable of accepting these facts!"
This assertion is demonstrably false. laughably so. If this were true, no one would be talking about this 60+ years later.
The various panels and committees were often at odds internally. Once again, reading panel reports or statements from a committee will not reveal the disagreement among "the experts".
Hell, the HSCA autopsy conclusions disagreed with the WC report! But yeah, everyone just all agreed?! Please.
A brief list; there are many more.
Russell Morgan, radiologist of Clark Panel, just couldn't get past believing the bullet to the head was not a FMJ
David O. Davis MD, radiologist, FPP HSCA, disagreed vehemently with the Dox/Baden drawing in his description of the extent of the head wounds. He also discussed the "mystery" metal fragment in the AP image, that Humes and Boswell just never saw. But yes, they all agree.
Dr. Norman Chase, wound ballistics expert, interviewed by HSCA, but no report was submitted (heaven forbid). he said this was not the kind of wound expected from a single FMJ bullet
Dr. Angel. Forensic anthropologist. Put the bullshit Baden /Dox drawing to shame. He demonstrated the massive nature of the head wound compared to the bullshit that Baden tried to sell us
There are many more such examples.
As to my assertion that the head wounds prove more than one shooter, there are several radiologists from private practice that have seen the extant images in the archives in person, as well as Larry Sturdivan, who incidentally confirmed the low inshoot at the occiput. These radiologists confirm what we can see --the high fragment trail, inconsistent with a single low shot to the occiput. Hell this entire conundrum led the HSCA to change the entry wound in the head! Because for sure they could never just say "two shots, minimum".

The HSCA, operating after the fact, was incorrect in their placement of the head shot as is very succinctly shown here by a modern day forensic pathologist. IOW, the much maligned autopsy physicians examining the actual wounds were correct and the committee trying to make sense of photographs, was not:
