Was Lee Harvey Oswald solely responsible for the death of John F. Kennedy, or was there a second gunman on the Grassy Knoll? On the 40th anniversary of the assassination for John F. Kennedy, our award-winning 1-hour special aired on Court TV and shed new light on an enduring mystery. “The JFK Assassination: Investigation Reopened” took a fresh new look at the forensic evidence, including a controversial audio recording thought to contain sounds of the gunshots that killed the President. Digital audio analysis by a renowned expert helped look beyond conspiracy theories and provided a new perspective on a long-disputed case.

You may have noticed the 3-D animation we did for that episode. Most of them were done, at least in part by our own in-house graphics team. Animation is a great way to explain complicated concepts -- for example, how the so-called “magic bullet” could travel through President Kennedy, Governor Connelly and into his thigh.

For those of you interested, you can still download the audio, vintage video, and historical documents, we used in the special by visiting Court TV here.
