Isn't there always a lot of blood and wouldn't the hole be deep into the cavity of the skull?

Needless to say I'm not a ballistics or a gunshot-injury expert, but I believe that if you were shot at close range with a .45 the entry wound might be a smallish hole, but the exit wound would be a real mess.

Jim: The body is buried and can be disinterred for an autopsy. Evidently a three judge panel is considering doing just that. The family hasn't said a word one way or the other. Makes you wonder.

As far as the wound goes it is possible the hole was caused by something other than a bullet but a bullet would leave just such a hole in the skull at the entry point. The reason the wound didn't look deep was because the brain tissue had closed around the hole the bullet (or whatever it was) made as it passed through the tissue. A .45 is a low velocity bullet and may not have exited the skull area. The lack of blood in copious quantities is due to the picture being taken well after Brown had died.

I think as more and more evidence is revealed about our president's goings ons there will be more and more questions about these matters. I also wouldn't doubt that even if there was something there it may never come out for fear of undermining our entire government. At least that would be the excuse for not delving into this further. If there's nothing to hide then have a complete open examination by well known forensic experts and let the chips fall where they may.
