Re-investigating the Robert Kennedy assassination?

Posted by David Hardy · 28 May 2018 08:43 AM

Story here. Many years, no decades, ago I attended a presentation on the subject at the U of AZ medical school. First-rate speakers that including, I think, the medical examiner and the defense attorney. Someone asked the medical examiner -- if the fatal shot hit him close behind the ear, without touching the ear, how could it have been fired from the front -- and the examiner had no answer. (I think answering that would require reconstructing the event -- did Kennedy spin away? Was the fatal shot the first or the last? Etc.). I also recall that from what was showing LAPD did a terrible job investigating. They documented bullet holes in the wall by chopping out pieces of the sheetrock wall where they were located, etc.. There was a debate over how many shots were fired, I sent in a question -- with the publicity given the event, was there an audiotape running within range of hearing? But it was not asked.

Of course Sirhan shot at him -- half of Los Angeles witnessed that -- but the question was whether he fired the fatal shot. If I recall, one theory was that there wasn't a "second gunman," but that Kennedy might have been hit by a shot from one of his security guards. On the other hand, if the fatal round was a .22 rimfire, I rather doubt a security guard would be carrying one of those as his primary gun.

Seems as good a distractor as anything else they might find for the upcoming investigation into Obama's role in FBIGate.
