DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Point-blank question for Bob Harris:
Do you believe the people who said they saw a large hole in the right-rear of JFK's head were correct, even with the X-ray below staring you in the face, which is an X-ray that proves for all time that there was no great big deficit in the right-rear portion of JFK's head?
ROBERT HARRIS SAID:
I have not seen evidence for such a wound [in the right-rear portion of President Kennedy's head]...
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Thank you, Bob.
ROBERT HARRIS SAID:
...but Boswell described the defect as going all the way back to the occiput, so the piece of skull just below and to the right of the large piece in the upper-rear might also have been broken out.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Then why isn't there a single bit of the BACK OF THE HEAD missing (or "broken out") in the X-ray below [also available to view at 7 HSCA 112]?
The entire back of the head is FILLED WITH SKULL BONE. None of it is missing or "broken out". There are some radiating fracture lines, yes. I'm certainly not denying the fact that there is some damage to the rear of the skull (in the form of radiating fractures). But there are no MISSING CHUNKS of skull in the rear of the President's head here:

WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?
Robert Harris, incredibly, thinks that ALL of the people quoted below, who were people responsible for investigating President Kennedy's death and the details of his injuries, were dead wrong about their conclusions concerning JFK's head wounds. Let's take a look and see just how many different people and committees Robert Harris has to believe were either liars or total boobs:
"It is our opinion that the deceased died as a result of two perforating gunshot wounds inflicted by high velocity projectiles fired by a person or persons unknown. The projectiles were fired from a point behind and somewhat above the level of the deceased." -- Via Page #6 of JFK's Official Autopsy Report, signed by Drs. James Humes, J. Thornton Boswell, and Pierre Finck in November 1963 [See Page 543 of the Warren Commission Final Report]
~~~~~~~~
"The Commission has concluded that the shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired from the sixth-floor window at the southeast corner of the Texas School Book Depository Building. Two bullets probably caused all the wounds suffered by President Kennedy and Governor Connally. Since the preponderance of the evidence indicated that three shots were fired, the Commission concluded that one shot probably missed the Presidential limousine and its occupants, and that the three shots xere fired in a time period ranging from approximately 4.8 to in excess of 7 seconds."
-- Page 117 of the Warren Commission Final Report
~~~~~~~~
"In the final analysis, the committee based its finding that the shots that struck President Kennedy were fired from the Texas School Book Depository on the quantity and quality of the evidence, to wit: The findings of forensic pathologists that the shots that hit the President came from behind." -- Page 51 of the HSCA Final Report
~~~~~~~~
"It is the firm conclusion of the [forensic pathology] panel members...that beyond all reasonable medical certainty, there is no bullet perforation of entrance any place on the skull other than the single one in the cowlick...and we find no evidence to support anything but a single gunshot wound of entrance in the back of the President's head." -- Dr. Michael Baden; 1978 HSCA Testimony
[at 1 HSCA 301]
~~~~~~~~
"Examination of the clothing and of the photographs and X-rays taken at autopsy reveal that President Kennedy was struck by two bullets fired from above and behind him, one of which traversed the base of the neck on the right side without striking bone and the other of which entered the skull from behind and exploded its right side." -- Summary of the Clark Panel in 1968
~~~~~~~~
"On the basis of the investigation conducted by its staff, the Commission believes that there is no evidence to support the claim that President Kennedy was struck by a bullet fired from either the grassy knoll or any other position to his front, right front or right side, and that the motions of the President’s head and body, following the shot that struck him in the head, are fully consistent with that shot having come from a point to his rear, above him and slightly to his right."
-- Page 264 of the Rockefeller Commission Final Report
~~~~~~~~
"There was no defect or wound to the rear of Kennedy's head other than the entrance wound in the upper right part of the head." -- Dr. Michael Baden; January 8, 2000; Via telephone conversation with Vincent Bugliosi [See Source Note #168 on Page 408 of Bugliosi's 2007 book, "Reclaiming History: The Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy"]
