A critique of Sherry Gutierrez's blood spatter analysis

I have been familiar from a distance with Sherry
Gutierrez's blood-spatter analysis in the JFK case for some time. I have never
accepted it, and do not accept it now. I have recently reviewed her materials
and now wish to offer some brief comments on them. The general mistakes she
makes can be summarized easily; the interested reader can then examine her work
in more detail.
Sherry's most recent exposition is posted on her sister's JFK
Lancer's web site, where it can be seen at http://www.jfklancerforum.com/sherryg/
. She has also presented at at least one Lancer Conference in Dallas, where I
met her.
Let me state at the outset that I accept her professional
credentials. It is the way she interprets the evidence from the JFK
assassination that I find flawed. I add that Dr. Chad Zimmerman has recently
posted a long critique of Ms. Gutierrez's work on his website, at http://www.zimmermanjfk.com/frontmenu_00000a.htm
. My comments are similar to his, but were developed independently and earlier.
I am deliberately keeping mine brief so as the keep the central message clear.
