On the other hand, many witnesses at Bethesda saw the condition of the skull
before such tampering began. These witnesses, both physicians and paraprofessionals,
uniformly describe a right occipital blowout,
34 consistent with a shot from the front.
Leaving aside the pathologists, as many as eight Bethesda physicians may be on this
list.35 In photographs,36 both Parkland and Bethesda witnesses demonstrate with
remarkable unanimity, on their own heads, the location of this obvious exit wound on the
right rear skull.
The X-rays do, however, show many small fragments distributed across the top of
the skull.37 So why didn?t Humes extract more of these? I have previously proposed
(based on their actual appearance?as viewed in detail on multiple occasions at the
Archives) that they look more like mercury than like lead. If so, then Humes would not
have been able to palpate them (mercury is liquid) and would therefore have been unable
to remove them during his illicit surgery phase.

Did you just mention, Mr. Greer, a hole in the President's head in addition to the large area of the skull which was shot away?
Mr. Greer.
No. I had just seen that, you know, the head was damaged in all this part of it but I believe looking at the X-rays, I looked at the X-rays when they were taken in the autopsy room, and the person who does that type work showed us the trace of it because there would be little specks of lead where the bullet had come from here and it came to the--they showed where it didn't come on through. It came to a sinus cavity or something they said, over the eye.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating the right eye. (GREER POINTED OVER HIS RIGHT EYE)
