In the book "Mortal Error: The Shot that Killed JFK" a ballistics expert named Howard Donohue spent 25 years investigating the assassination and determined that based on ballistics the shot came from a secret service agent who was carrying an AR15.
I was fortunate enough to watch a preview of "JFK: The Smoking Gun" which is a documentary of veteran police detective Colin McLaren who spent four years on the forensic cold case investigation of JFK's assassination. What he had, and other investigators did not, was modern technology and access to all the evidence, facts and eye-witness testimony. His conclusion matches that of Donohue.
It laid to rest the "magic bullet" theory, claimed that Oswald got off two shots. The fatal shot, however, came from behind as a result of a secret service agent "fumbling" his gun. Everything is based on forensics and the science of ballistics. Very intriguing and it can explain the secret service's bizarre behavior afterward.
