"KALINE 68" SAID:
Wecht clearly points out that the Warren Commission did numerous tests shooting the same bullets into goat carcasses, cotton wadding and human cadavers and that NONE of the bullets was near the pristine condition of the magic bullet that they claim went thru JFK and Connally.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Dr. Wecht's pet theory regarding the damaged Warren Commission test bullets that were fired DIRECTLY into goat ribs and a cadaver's wrist is totally ridiculous. Because, as I just mentioned, those bullets were fired DIRECTLY into those objects without having first gone through either a simulated JFK neck/back or a simulated Connally torso.
And for the wrist shot, the bullet needs to go through not only a simulated Kennedy neck, but it needs to go through a simulated Connally TORSO/CHEST too. Which did not happen with the Olivier/Edgewood bullets.
So why in the world Dr. Wecht thinks that such test bullets are going to be expected to mimic CE399's condition is a real mystery.
Doesn't Wecht know what a silly argument he makes when he thinks that he can compare CE399 (a bullet that travelled through TWO bodies BEFORE hitting JBC's wrist) with the WC test bullet that was fired DIRECTLY into a wrist bone?
It's just....silly.
But Cyril just loves that argument....as he said during his June 14, 2007, WPTT-Radio debate with Vincent Bugliosi. And he also said it--with extra relish added--at the 1986 TV Docu-Trial too [see the videos below].
It's just too bad that Vince Bugliosi didn't bother mentioning to Cyril the same arguments regarding the bullets that I just made above. I was practically SCREAMING at my radio during the 2007 SBT debate between VB and Wecht, trying desperately to get Vince to say this to the esteemed Pittsburgh pathologist:
"THE TEST BULLETS DIDN'T GO THROUGH ENOUGH LAYERS OF FLESH TO SIMULATE CE399, CYRIL!!"
But Vince never once said that. And that's too bad.
