Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I have always wondered why the HSCA gave the anthropologists the Wedding photo of Lovelady from the 1950s to take measurements on when they had the FBI photos, which were taken just 3 months after the assassination.

People change throughout their lives, right? And, Lovelady was a rapidly balding young man, right? So, wasn't it important to use an image of him that was as close as possible to the assassination? Isn't 3 months a lot closer than 4 or more years? So, why did they use the Wedding photo instead of the FBI photo?

Then, there is this:

"Photographs of Oswald and Lovelady taken close to the time of the assassination indicated that Lovelady's central hairline had receded more than Oswald's, resulting in a higher forehead on Lovelady. But, Lovelady's recession was not uniform. He has a downward projection of his hairline about one inch to the right of center. This eccentrically placed "widow's peak" was not seen on Oswald."

There's a problem in that they didn't specify whose perspective they meant in using the word "right". But, I presume they meant from HIS perspective. And that conforms with the properly oriented picture of Lovelady.

You see the widow's peak which is on our left, but it's on the right side of his forehead. Yes? So, it's HIS right. Therefore, the statement of the anthropologists is correct. However, the image that the HSCA published in their Final Report is this one:

Above, the widow's peak is on the left side of his forehead, that is, on HIS left. 

So, what I have to think is that they gave the anthropologists a correctly oriented image to do their anthropometric study with, but the image that they published in their Final Report for the world to see was the mirror image of it.

The anthropologists did lock on the matching hairlines between Young Lovelady and Doorman:

"Interruption of the central hairline (on the spectator) by a downward extension located slightly to the right of center."

That's exactly what they said about Lovelady. Notice that they used the word "right" again, and obviously, they were using it the same way. So now, it doesn't matter what they were thinking or how they were using the word. It doesn't matter any more because we know that on Doorman, the forward projection is on HIS right, our left, and they found the same thing on Young Lovelady. 

 So, that means that, for certain, the anthropologists had the correctly oriented version of Young Lovelady to work with. Yet, the HSCA published the flipped version. 

Hence, there can be no doubt whatsoever that the flipping was NOT an accident. They deliberately gave the unflipped version to the anthropologists to work with, and they deliberately published the flipped version for the world to see. 

It means there is nothing innocent or unaware about any of this. The HSCA knew exactly what they were doing. They knew which was which. They knowingly gave the proper one to the anthropologists to measure and compare, and they knowingly published the flipped one for the public to see. An accidental flipping is now completely ruled out.
