Dr. Perry. There was.
Mr. Specter. Which might have obscured such a wound?
Dr. Perry. There was a considerable amount of blood at the head of the cartilage.
Mr. Specter. Would you now describe as particularly as possible the neck wound you observed?
Dr. Perry. This was situated in the lower anterior one-third of the neck, approximately 5 mm. in diameter.
It was exuding blood slowly which partially obscured it. Its edges were neither ragged nor were they punched out, but rather clean.
Mr. Specter. Have you now described the neck wound as specifically as you can?
Dr. Perry. I have.
Mr. Specter. Based on your observations of the neck wound alone, do you have a sufficient basis to form an opinion as to whether it was an entrance wound or an exit wound,
Dr. Perry. No, sir. I was unable to determine that since I did not ascertain the exact trajectory of the missile. The operative procedure which I performed was restricted to securing an adequate airway and insuring there was no injury to the carotid artery or jugular vein at that level and at that point I made the procedure.
