Thread: RFK - an open and shut case?

A new book about the assassination of Robert Kennedy, 'An Open And Shut Case', offers acoustic evidence suggesting a conspiracy. I've always felt that witness observations (Sirhan always being in front of RFK and 3-6 feet away from him) were inconsistent with the fatal wound (powder burns in back of his right ear suggesting a gun barrel 1-2 inches away). Some people even feel that the famous photo of RFK laying on the ground grasping a clip-on tie of the rent-a-cop behind him implicated this second shooter. The number of bullet holes also seemed greater than whatever could have come out of Sirhan's gun. Any thoughts or additional info on this crime? It was a huge event that changed the course of US history and conspiracy possibilities are not given nearly as much attention as JFK's killing.

^ There was alot of sh*t happening with the Kennedys. Even JFK, Marilyn...must have been pretty high level if it wasn't Sirhan. Interesting to read more. Guess details on his political dealings and what the GOP and its interests were doing are needed.

Agree. RFK assassination reeks much more of conspiracy than JFK's.

^ Didn't he piss alot of people off when he was AG?

Big time. Equal Rights, Organized Crime and of all things he went after Hoover a little. Crackers, mobsters and a king. A trio of enemies I wouldn't wish on my worst one!

Ah! Of course. I had forgotten those nuggets. The mafia especially, but weren't those the Teamster union/Hoffa days?

Yes, but there was Giancana in Chicago and other mobsters.
