Quote:When asked about this later on the Discovery Channel's website, Gary Mack insisted that, unbelievable as it may seem, that it was in fact an innocent mistake. When it was pointed out to him that Jackie was not behind her husband, but was in front of him, he readily admitted: "She wasn't and we didn't catch it at the time. At the moment of the fatal shot, Jackie's head was in front of JFK, whereas our actor's head was behind him. However, that error had no bearing on the purpose of the recreation in Dallas. The only actor who needed to be seated correctly was JFK, and he was perfectly placed. After all, we were only trying to show whether or not a sharpshooter could see his target --Kennedy -- from the various locations."

I remembered it slightly different to the actual text above and there may be lot's more but if he was actually there watching the set up and not on a museum break, well...
Seriously, why was Jackie only in that position for the GK shot?
Clearly to make the average viewer think, "nah, no one is taking that shot with Jackie so close".
