Home: Multimedia: JFK Assasination Mock Trial

Using three-dimensional measurements of the movement of a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle and sophisticated computer animation techniques, Exponent engineers and scientists were able to simulate the firing sequence performed by the alleged assassin of President Kennedy from the sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. Exponent used this and other extensive computer simulations of ballistics and biomechanics during our testimony in the 1992 American Bar Association's mock trial presentation: "The United States v. Lee Harvey Oswald." The transcript of the trial can be found in American Jurisprudence "Trials" Volume 56, published by Lawyers Cooperative Publishing.
