The theory is that he was hit by an accidental discharge from an inexperienced Secret Service agent who was on the protection detail because the rest of the agents had been drinking all night.
The Secret Service destroyed their documents and autopsy evidence years ago rather than comply with a House subpoena investigating the assassination. They also gave Robert Kennedy, the AG at the time, JFK's brain which was never seen since. We'll probably never know for sure what happened that day.

Yes I caught that program too and although a skeptic at the start I was wondering at the end.
It started me thinking about the whole conspiracy idea and how that set the tone for the rest of the 60's (IMHO).
We were presented with so much conflicting information that almost no one was convinced of what was put forth by the commission.
On one of the many programs presented this week a commentator said that we as a group fined the fact, that one seemingly meaningless person can have such an effect on such a popular and meaningful person, too incomprehensible and so develop theories to explain the event.
I thought that a profound statement.
