kennedy slumped forward slightly. that's how they determine that there was this upward track. he had always wanted to explain how this occurred, michael badin. at the time of the fatal shot, kennedy was leaning forward. the bullet can track upwards because your leaning further for than the downslope. demonstratingl that in a tv show. convinced that the nonfatal shot hit him at 224. here is those a prude or frame 225. he is not leaning forward. now we have a scientific test laureate thatel showed that it is most probable that the shot came from behind the car, driving jfk back. these are the frames that show it. 312 -- 321. kennedy is rocked backwards. lewis our perez said the jet effect could explain that. solve thereportedly problem to my own satisfaction and an one-dimensional fashion down the back of an envelope. [laughter] jet effect recoil explains it. sympathetic for conspiracy and then turned , he said no and would believe it unless we could demonstrate a retrograde recoil. here is his experiment. a bullet coming from the right. -- from the left. you see the bullet comes from the left. .t blows out here the skull moves back off

we'll start off with a look at the weather and michael son cam with no rain falling here in downtown dc or at the kennedy center. 42 degrees, partly cloudy as they have come up just a little bit from the last hour, on up to 28 right now, so you could tell that the rain that will be falling up, that it will be evaporating before they hit that ground. the winds, they have briefly subsided, but we'll see the winds gusting on out of the northwest for a good part of the overnight hours. the current temperature is 39 degrees in manassas. 37 in frederick and hagerstown. 37 here as well. but when you factor in the breezes that it would feel like it's 30 degrees in gaithersburg and leesburg and hagerstown as well when you factor in the winds, feeling like 36 degrees. those temperatures onto the west down in the teens and the 20s and it will be because of the cold front that will be sweeping on through with that rain and snow mix line, pretty much in line for them on satellite and radar and that they will be making their way across the mountains, but it's ringing out some of the moisture here too, so we're not exp

and the forensic dentist, michael west, testified that those bite marks came from this man, kennedy brewer, the boyfriend of the girl's mother. brewer was convicted and sent to the mississippi state penitentiary to be executed. >> there have been a number of people who were convicted based on bite mark testimony, who were sent to death row or sent to prison for life, and in each of those cases, a whole group of forensic odontologists, forensic dentists, said they were absolutely certain that this was the guy, and they were absolutely wrong. >> bergman: peter neufeld, who represented both brooks and brewer, is a founder of the innocence project, which has helped free hundreds of people who were wrongfully convicted. neufeld says that most of those convictions involved the use of what he calls "invalid" science. >> invalid science meaning it has no basis in fact? >> yeah, like the person who looks at, uh, uh, scratch marks on someone's hand and says, "those are human bite marks that came from that man to the exclusion of everybo e else on the planet." there is no science to support that conc

let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, high temperature officially 58 today looking at the kennedyter, right now down to 51, humidity very low, 33% and winds still northwest at 20. the winds will kind of go from windy to breezy tonight and then after midnight they'll pretty much diminish. that's going to allow temps to plummet before dawn tomorrow. so bundle up for high school football. think in layers tonight. chilly for the heart walk tomorrow, 42 to 50. mr. bernstein will be there. you need your sunglasses and a coat tomorrow. a coat is not overkill. sunday some sunshine, in fact, a little more sunshine sunday than tomorrow and almost seasonable. we'll claw our way almost to 60 on sunday. futurecast 8:00 tonight some areas in the 30s, maybe 39 in leesburg and winchester, 40 in manassas, 45 downtown. even with breezes temps fall quickly. 37 in gaithersburg, 38 in leesburg and manassas. this is now at 10:00 tonight and low 40s downtown. if you're headed out, a winter coat is not overkill tonight. by morning we have temperatures in the low 30s to start and by 9:00 they go back into

kennedy. these are big guns. >> nationally renowned but he was called by michael brown's family to perform this independent autopsy. that said, how rare is it to have this prosecuting attorney, this is all the prosecutorial side for this grand jury to call what is essentially a defense witness. >> it's very rare. nothing says you can't do it. the state here thinks that baden's autopsy is going to help them. i disagree. frankly, i think that everything about his autopsy corroborates what the officer had to say to the grand jury. the only difference is baden didn't find any gunshot residue evidence on the body, but that doesn't mean that they weren't close range shots. it just means that they weren't inches away or the gun wasn't actually touching his body. they still could have been as close as three, four inches or a foot away. and that of course would be close range in anybody's mind. also, he corroborates what the first autopsy says about there being material from the car on the victim and material from the victim on the officer's gun. very important pieces of corroboration that really support what the officer h

michael. his daughter, maureen confirmed that conversation in her memoirs, stating bobby kennedy had a hand in this cancellation. this may not be accurate. others find that the general electric was losing ratings, but that's not what counts. and reagan's mind, bobby kennedy leaned on general electric and caused the cancellation of the general electric theater and the loss of reagan's job. he thought richard duchenne in 1967 during the telstar debate with the kennedy and a bunch of students that were sitting in europe. the reagan went all that when kennedy entered the presidential campaign sweepstakes in 1968 is for reagan's got really actively involved with the campaign for the presidential nomination. it was kennedy johnson and 68 and then he relented upon kennedy's death. reagan was a very religious man. his minutes there is was one of the half-dozen people present in september of 65. the kickoff meeting and break in psalm one were against career really crystallize. my insight to that relationship comes from a conversation with the clerk in late 1881 bill clark had been serving as deputy sec
