I watched that same show. For those who didn't - at one point they build models of Gov. Connelly and Pres. Kennedy using ballistic gel (which mimics the qualities of human skin and muscle), complete with internal skeletons. The torsos were arranged just as they were in the limo. An expert marksman, with the same model gun and bullets as Oswald, re-creates the 'magic bullet' shot.

In this test, the shot was an inch or two off from where Kennedy was hit, so it hits and breaks two of 'Kennedy's' ribs. It still has enough energy to pass through all of the points traversed by the 'magic bullet' except for Connelly's leg. In the real life situation, the bullet did not break 2 of Kennedy's ribs, and so it easily had the energy to pass through Connelly's leg.

It was also demonstrated that a gun and bullet matching Oswald's could fire 4 feet into a wood beam before losing it's energy. When removed from the wood, the bullet is in a condition nearly identical to the magic bullet.

Also interesting was some photo analysis on a grassy knoll picture. One of the more famous pictures that the conspiracy people point to shows a figure known as "badge man". But doing some measurements shows that badge man was either 2 1/2 feet tall, or he was 60 feet in the air and 90 feet back and away from the grassy knoll.

Is this show called "Investigating History" which will be replayed at 10pm tomorrow (Monday)? I really wanted to see it, but missed it.
