    Join the History Center for An Evening with Cyril Wecht, a fascinating conversation with Pittsburgher and famed pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht, co-author of the new book, “The Life and Deaths of Cyril Wecht: Memoirs of America’s Most Controversial Forensic Pathologist,” on Thursday, March 18, at 7 p.m., on Zoom.
    This virtual program, which will be moderated by KDKA-AM radio host Larry Richert and include the book’s co-author Jeff Sewald, will delve into Wecht’s experiences with high-profile cases, such as the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, JonBenet Ramsey, and more. The program will provide an intimate look at other important cases and moments during a remarkable career that spans six decades.
    As described in his memoir, Wecht will also discuss his life in the public eye and his legal battles with determined and powerful authorities, including the Pittsburgh district attorney’s office, the U.S. attorney’s office, and the FBI.

I also have the highest respect for this man and how humble he is is also cool, talking about his ten year old car and on top of it all he has a great sense of humor. Like so many I first learned of this man in relation to the JFK assassination. He knows his stuff and I learned so much listening to him in regard to that case even tonight in regard to the two wound channels in the brain, true evidence giving scientific credence to things we have only speculated about until now.

    It pays to pay attention to high-quality good resolution copies of the Mary Moorman film. If you look at the top of the occipital bone there is a 2-inch exit wound from when JFK was shot at Z286. The lower part of the wound bears an irregular white curved line, which is the thickness of JFK's skull as just blasted open. Mary Moorman took her picture at Z316, by which time JFK has a huge Z313 right temporal hole/flap which is on the other side and can't be seen. The 4x4 inch right occipitoparietal hole isn't there yet in Mary Moorman because that frontal shot didn't happen until Z342-343. If you look at Zapruder frame Z286 and pay attention to the shadow of the Babushka Lady, you can see the two-inch JFK skull ejectum with bone and hair flying up and to the left, a little above the midway part of the shadow.

I've watched him in more recent interviews and he was still talking about a 'magic and pristine bullet' and, I would say, knowingly misrepresenting the Single Bullet Conclusion (as Max Holland put it). I really liked the videos by Max Holland. It's almost unbelievable how people continue to say "magic bullet' and 'grassy knoll' shooter.

    This man is incredible, the definitive expert on all aspects of the JFK assassination and an incredibly engaging speaker. Is he really 90? Wow, he runs rings around all the so-called experts out there a fraction of his age!
    Fascinating to hear his theory on the Jonbenet Ramsey case, a bizarre one for sure but my feeling has always been it was a sinister misadventure by her abusive father. Dr Wecht nailed it. As he mentioned here, the autopsy exposed the long term sexual abuse she'd been subjected to - she was also sexually assaulted by her killer. That leaves only one logical conclusion, John Ramsey was her abuser and killer.
    It is appalling how many heinous crimes are covered up by powerful people!
