This is from Pierre Finck's Clay Shaw trial testimony.
Q: How many other military personnel were present at the autopsy in the autopsy room?
A: That autopsy room was quite crowded. It is a small autopsy room, and when you are called in circumstances like that to look at the wound of the President of the United States who is dead, you don't look around too much to ask people for their names and take notes on who they are and how many there are. I did not do so. The room was crowded with military and civilian personnel and federal agents, Secret Service agents, FBI agents, for part of the autopsy, but I cannot give you a precise breakdown as regards the attendance of the people in that autopsy room at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
This is not only not normal, it is ridiculous. Why were all these non-doctors in there? What could they possibly do? He mentioned it was a small room too. Can anyone give a reasonable explanation for why all these people were in the room when they could offer NO assistance at all?
Q: Colonel, did you feel that you had to take orders from this Army General that was there directing the autopsy?
A: No, because there were others, there were Admirals.
Wow! That is reassuring, huh? He not only took orders from a General, but Admirals too? What orders could be given during an autopsy when there are standard procedures for how to conduct them?
Q: There were Admirals?
A: Oh, yes, there were Admirals, and when you are a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army you just follow orders, and at the end of the autopsy we were specifically told -- as I recall it, it was by Admiral Kinney, the Surgeon General of the Navy -- this is subject to verification -- we were specifically told not to discuss the case.
This makes you feel like they did a thorough and independent job, huh? They "just followed orders!" Whose orders though? What orders were needed if President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was shot twice from behind? Why could they NOT discuss this case without being subject to a court-martial? Why all the secrecy IF it happened the way they said it happened?
Q: You were told not to discuss the case?
A: -- to discuss the case without coordination with the Attorney General.
What kind of coordination? Was it meant to be Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) or Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach? I mean RFK pretty much dropped out for some time from doing any of the AG duties.
Q: Colonel, can you tell me how the body got from Dallas to Washington, D.C. when the killing occurred in Dallas, Texas, if you know?
MR. DYMOND: Your Honor, I object to that.
THE COURT: I didn't hear the question, Mr. Oser. Would you repeat it?
MR. OSER: I said: Doctor, can you tell me how the body of the President got from Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D.C., when Dallas, Texas was the scene of the homicide, if you know.
MR. DYMOND: I think that is irrelevant to the medical testimony.
THE COURT: It would be irrelevant as to his expert opinions that he is giving. I think your question is what care was taken of the body, is that what you mean, the body itself? You can rephrase your question.
MR. OSER: That is all right. I will go on to another subject.
This is a great question, and I can see why the defense objected, but unfortunately, he asked it to the wrong person. Why was the Secret Service (SS) allowed to take the body of JFK from Dallas when they had NO jurisdiction? Why did the court not want this illegal act discussed?
