For anyone who didn't watch Greta's one-hour special, the "new evidence" was really old evidence. The controversial dictabelt tape at DPD headquarters which some claim has the accoustic markings of four shots was updated and modified although it still sounds like what was presented to the House Committee back in the 1970s. Critics of the evidence claim there was a single-chime bell heard on the tape and no such bell exists around Dealey Plaza. What they turn up is a movie taken in Dealey Plaza in 1964 that has sound and also picks up the same bell tone when the clock hits 1 o'clock. Of course, Kennedy was shot at 12:30 p.m. Doesn't really change my mind about anything.

The other "new evidence" was a guy who had access to some of the physical bullet fragments and found fibers on them. The fibers were DNA tested and they claim it is actually skin that matches JFK. Well, nobody's debating that JFK wasn't shot (even the kooks on both sides can agree on who got shot) so I don't know what this new evidence adds to the conversation.

So if you are worried you missed anything new, you didn't.

You are correct that there was not much new to people who have studied the assassination, but probably 90% of the people who watched the show had never heard any of it before.

I was confused about the new bullet fragment evidence. Which fragments of which bulllet was he talking about? If this was supposed to be a bullet which passed through JFK and Connelly, then the fact that it only has JFK's DNA or fabric fibers on it could be important. I just didn't get his point, but I don't claim that that means that he had no point to make.
