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 - Carrico was referring to the wound on the surface of the skin which was more symmetrical, possibly due to Kennedy's necktie pulling the skin tight, producing a neater looking wound. Dr. Baden surmised this at the HSCA hearings. 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. Read his statement you posted above - you may disagree, but no dishonesty was involved - to side with a huckster like Mark Lane and castigate a man with Bugliosi's reputation reveals obvious, illogical, hysterical bias. Read the medical reports regarding the trachea - "ragged"
