As a trial lawyer in front of a jury and an author of true-crime books, credibility has always meant everything to me. My only master and my only mistress are the facts and objectivity. I have no others. The theorists may not agree with my conclusions, but in this work on the assassination I intend to set forth all of their main arguments, and the way they, not I, want them to be set forth, before I seek to demonstrate their invalidity. I will not knowingly omit or distort anything. However, with literally millions of pages of documents on this case, there are undoubtedly references in some of them that conspiracy theorists feel are supportive of a particular point of theirs, but that I simply never came across." - Vincent Bugliosi

"Although Carrico was unable to determine whether the throat wound was an entrance or exit wound, he did observe that the wound was "ragged," virtually a sure sign of an exit wound as opposed to an entrance wound, which is usually round and devoid of ragged edges." - Reclaiming History, pg 413

"Dr. CARRICO - Yes. And this wound was fairly round, had no jagged edges, no evidence of powder burns, and so forth." WC Testimony.

Vincent Bugliosi was a liar.

VB was referring to the wound to the internal trachea which was ragged

No... not possible.

This was in reference to the determination of an entry wound or an exit wound.

That can ONLY BE DETERMINED FROM THE WOUND IN THE SKIN.

You cannot produce any description of the tracheal wounding that would lead someone to understand which direction the bullet was traveling.

This is the ONLY wound that could be used to determine trajectory. And indeed, it's SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE to study this case for more than 20 years and not understand that the APPEARANCE of the throat wound was evidence for an entry wound. BUGLIOSI COULD NOT HAVE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

Yet he blatantly lied about it... claiming that Carrico & Perry had described this wound as "ragged."

Simple solution, nothing nefarious - Bugliosi knew the intense scrutiny his book would receive - to publish a lie in that situation would have been the act of a rank amateur - this is a silly, paranoid charge - boring.

Then you'll be happy to cite ANY FORENSIC TEXT AT ALL that describes using an INTERNAL injury to determine the direction of a bullet.

But ... of course... you won't.

You can't.

Read the medical reports regarding the trachea - "ragged"

It's interesting to recall that you've previously denigrated Mark Lane, yet continue to refuse to provide any evidence for it.

I've challenged you to provide a quote from "Rush To Judgment" - the page number, then a cite to the evidence that he was lying about - and you've thus far refused to do so.

I'm now challenging you to produce a cite to any forensics that routinely uses INTERNAL injuries to determine the course of a bullet.

Or, of course, you could also cite from Reclaiming History where he was explaining the throat wound's appearance as an entry wound.

But my prediction - you won't.
