71. JFK's doctor -- Admiral George Burkley -- thought more than one shooter was involved.

Absolutely, Ichingcarpenter! The record is not complete; and there are many evidenciary trails. Forensic science depends on factual observations and untainted evidence. Hard to get anyone else to support your finding without the evidence to go on.

Gary L. Aguilar, MD and Kathy Cunningham explain:

HOW FIVE INVESTIGATIONS INTO JFK’S MEDICAL/AUTOPSY EVIDENCE GOT IT WRONG

More on this important and unreported of the forensic science story:

Admiral George Burkley thought more than one shooter was involved.

Adm. Burkley got a lawyer to make sure he could get through to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

AGENCY: HSCA
ORIGINATOR: HSCA
FROM: RICHARD SPRAGUE
TO: FILE
MEMORANDUM
March 18, 1977
TO : FILE
FROM : RICHARD A. SPRAGUE

William F. Illig, an attorney from Erie, Pa., contacted me in Philadelphia this
date, advising me that he represents Dr. George G. Burkley, Vice Admiral, U.S.
Navy retired, who had been the personal physician for presidents Kennedy and
Johnson.

Mr. Illig stated that he had a luncheon meeting with his client, Dr. Burkley,
this date to take up some tax matters. Dr. Burkley advised him that although he,
Burkley, had signed the death certificate of President Kennedy in Dallas, he had
never been interviewed and that he has information in the Kennedy
assassination indicating that others besides Oswald must have participated.

Illig advised me that his client is a very quiet, unassuming person, not wanting
any publicity whatsoever, but he, Illig, was calling me with his client's
consent and that his client would talk to me in Washington.

Gee. For some reason, the Warren Commission failed to get the TESTIMONY of Adm. Burkley -- the one man who was JFK's doctor, was in the motorcade, treated him in the ER at Parkland Hospital, and was present at the autopsy later that night at the US Naval Hospital in Bethesda, evidently causing problems for Gen. Curtis LeMay.
