He was in a situation where he was forced to take orders, something that would not have happened at a Dallas autopsy. The chief went as far to burn his notes at the order of a General (JFK), and by 1966 almost all pictures, sketches and notes had disappeared. .
As bizarre as the autopsy itself, was the fact that that the sketches drawn up and declared accurate by the Warren Commission had supposedly marked the bullet hole in the presidents back four inches lower than all the pathologists remember seeing it. In addition, a CIA liaison's (Regis Blahut) fingerprints were found in a vault where some autopsy photos had been tampered with. (Summers, 45) While the true motive of Blahut will never be known, his crime reinforces the idea that the Central and Army Intelligence Agencies have sought to cover up the evidence regarding the president's assassination. Doctors in Dallas would have done an extremely thorough investigation, possibly uncovering the information that the wounds in Kennedy's body made the Oswald theory impossible. The autopsy is one of the greatest pieces of evidence that there was a conspiracy that may have reached levels much higher than the renegade elements some have sighted. .
Even if one disregards the errors in the autopsy as innocent mistakes caused as a result of a chaotic situation, there still remains evidence pointing to a conspiracy. Acoustics Studies of the Zapruder Film, as well as the testimonies of over fifty witnesses have shown that there were four or more shots fired at the president, with at least one or more coming from the grassy knoll. .
The Zapruder Film was taken by a parade onlooker Abraham Zapruder, who shot eighteen apocalyptic seconds of film chronicling the assassination from start to finish. It shows the president's reaction to the first shot, clutching his throat. Governor Connally turns around to his right, clearly not wounded, when he is then visibly hit with the second shot, and his body goes stiff.
