Synopsis
A rebroadcast of the film of the same title, augmented with a documentary portion. The original portion depicts what the trial of President John F. Kennedy's alleged assassin might have been like had Lee Harvey Oswald lived to tell his story. In the documentary portion, some news footage taken on the day of the assassination and in the days following are seen for the first time nationally. Host Geraldo Rivera visits the site of the shooting in Dallas. At the conclusion of the live broadcast, viewers are invited to call a 900 number to vote on the question of whether Oswald acted alone or if indeed he was only one participant in a conspiracy to kill the President.
