Bobby Kennedy Jr. Isn't Sure.
#2
Continued From Above. 

Quote:'...At trial, defense lawyer Grant Cooper made the decision not to contest the charge that Sirhan fired the fatal shot and
instead tried to persuade the jury not to impose the death penalty by arguing Sirhan had "diminished capacity" and
didn't know what he was doing. It is a standard tactic by attorneys in death penalty cases, but Cooper, who died in 1990,
was widely criticized for not investigating the case before conceding guilt...'

And there was plenty to investigate.
The statement from Sandra Serrano -the account that LAPD attempted to intimidate and convince Ms. Serrano that what
she witnessed was a made-up piece of fiction, was certainly something to look into.
This is part of it.

“Then this girl came running down the stairs and said, ‘we’ve shot him, we’ve shot him.’ Who did you shoot? 
And she said ‘We’ve shot Senator Kennedy!’….And after that a boy came  down with her, he was about 23
years old, and he was Mexican-American….She was not of Mexican-American descent. 
She was not. She was Caucasian.
She had on a white dress with polka-dots, she was light-skinned ….she had a funny nose.”

A fairly-good description and viable enough for a Reporter Fernando Faura, to have Ms. Serrano repeat what the
mysterious woman looked like to artists who eventually created a portrait of exact proportions. This rendering took
Mr. Faura down a rabbit-hole that he had never imagined.

There were others who testified that a woman in a polka-dot dress and an unknown man were seen running from the 
killing.They too were subjected to government intimidation to retract their stories.

Vincent DiPierro, the son of the Ambassador’s maître d’, a student at the University of California, and a hotel employee
who voluntarily testified to a grand jury that he saw, from a distance of five feet, the girl in the polka-dot dress with Sirhan
in the pantry moments before the shooting.  He testified that they were together. 

He told the grand jury, “They were both smiling. In fact, the moment the first two shots were fired, he still had a very sick
looking smile on his face.  That’s one thing –I can never forget.”

Jose Caraval, another employee, who after the shooting saw the girl run into a dead-end hall trying to escape,
only to run back out frantically.

Greg Clayton, Mrs. Carlos Gallegos, Booker Griffin, Pamela Russo, Susan Locke and others. 
More than a dozen witnesses placed Sirhan with the girl and other men at the hotel that  night.
And yet, the LAPD, less than a month after the ‘girl in the polka-dot dress’ had gone world-wide, denied her existence,
this in spite of the numerous witnesses who had seen her.

Quote:'...Sirhan is now 74 and approaching 50 years behind bars. After California's courts abolished the death penalty in
1972, he was first made eligible for parole in 1986 but has been rejected repeatedly.

In 2016, [Paul] Schrade spoke on Sirhan's behalf at his parole hearing and apologized for not coming forward sooner to
advocate for Sirhan's release and exoneration. California inmates are not permitted to give media interviews, and Sirhan
did not respond to a letter from The Post.
But his brother, Munir Sirhan, said Sirhan still holds out hope of being released and that his defense team probably hurt his
case more than helped it.

There's plenty of damning evidence against Sirhan. He confessed to the killing at trial, though he claims this was done on his
attorney's instruction. He took hours of target practice with his pistol earlier in the day, and he took the gun into the Ambassador
that night.

He had been seen at a Kennedy speech at the Ambassador two days earlier.
He had a newspaper clipping critical of Kennedy in his pocket and had written "RFK must die" in notebooks at home, though he
said he didn't remember doing that. And he waited in the pantry for about 30 minutes, according to witnesses who said he asked
if Kennedy would be coming through there.

But questions about the case arose almost immediately in Los Angeles, resulting in hearings and reinvestigations as early as
1971 by the district attorney, the police chief, the county board of supervisors and the county superior court. Many of them focused
on the ballistics of the case, starting with Noguchi's finding that Kennedy had been shot from behind, which Sirhan's lawyer didn't
raise in his defense.

In addition, lead crime scene investigator DeWayne Wolfer testified at trial that a bullet taken from Kennedy's body and bullets from
two of the wounded victims all matched Sirhan's gun.

But other experts who examined the three bullets said they had markings from different guns and different bullet manufacturers.
An internal police document concluded that "Kennedy and Weisel bullets not fired from same gun," (Weisel was the wounded ABC
news producer) and "Kennedy bullet not fired from Sirhan's revolver."

This prompted a Los Angeles judge in 1975 to convene a panel of seven forensic experts, who examined the three bullets and refired
Sirhan's gun. The panel said no match could be made between the three bullets, which appeared to be fired from the same gun, and
Sirhan's revolver. They found Wolfer had done a sloppy job with the ballistics evidence and urged further investigation...'

Sloppy to say the least! The original bullets for the whole case were swapped-out because of the Prosecution's need to have an
actual bullet for the jury to peruse. Ammunition 'like' the ones supposedly fired from Sirhan's pistol were provided and the bullets
from the case -that had been officially marked with individual etchings, were not used in the court case.

Quote:'...In addition, witnesses said bullet holes were found in the door frames of the Ambassador pantry, and photos showed investigators
examining the holes in the hours after the shooting. Between the three bullets that hit Kennedy and the bullets that hit the five wounded
victims, Wolfer had accounted for all eight of Sirhan's shots.
Bullets in the doors would indicate a second gun. Wolfer later said the holes and the metal inside were not bullets, and the door frames
were destroyed after trial...'

The reason for the door frames being destroyed is answered at the beginning of the sentence, proof of a second gunman.

Quote:'...Though Los Angeles authorities had promised transparency in the case, the police and prosecutors refused to release their
files until 1988, producing a flood of new evidence for researchers.

Among the material was an audiotape, first unearthed by CNN journalist Brad Johnson, which had been inadvertently made by Polish
journalist Stanislaw Pruszynski in the Ambassador ballroom, and turned over to police in 1969.
Pruszynski's microphone had been on the podium where Kennedy spoke, and TV footage shows him detaching it and moving toward
the pantry as the shooting happens.

In 2005, audio engineer Philip Van Praag said the tape revealed that about 13 shots had been fired.
He said he used technology similar to the ShotSpotter technology used by police to alert them to gunshots, and which differentiates
gunshots from firecrackers or other loud bangs.

Van Praag said recently that different guns create different resonances and that he was able to establish that two guns were fired,
that they fired in different directions, and that some of the shot "impulses" were so close together they couldn't have been fired by
the same gun. He said he could not say "precisely" 13 shots but certainly more than the eight contained by Sirhan's gun.

"There were too many bullets," Robert Kennedy Jr. said. "You can't fire 13 shots out of an eight-shot gun."...'

So what would anyone surmise from Robert Kennedy Jr.'s comment...? He knows his father was murdered in a conspiracy.

Quote:'...British author Mel Ayton wrote "The Forgotten Terrorist," which posits that Sirhan killed Kennedy because he supported sending
military firepower to Israel - the Sirhans were Christian Palestinians forced from their Jerusalem home by Israel in 1948.
He said Van Praag had misinterpreted the Pruszynski tape and that other experts who examined it show only eight "spikes,"
one for each gunshot. Ayton also cited numerous eyewitnesses who said they heard at most eight shots.

Ayton and investigative reporter Dan Moldea, who also wrote a book about the assassination, argue that Sirhan's gun could have
reached Kennedy's back. No witnesses saw the actual shots fired in the chaos of the pantry, and Moldea noted that Kennedy
almost certainly turned and tried to protect himself after the first shot, which some said was preceded by Sirhan yelling,
"Kennedy, you son of a bitch!"...'

There's always at at least two ways at looking at something that you're not directly a witness to and the RFK killing is no different.
But considering it was later discovered that the LAPD officer in charge of the investigation –Lt. Manny Pena –is CIA connected, 
one must pause before accepting opposing arguements from outsiders who wish to not only counter witness statements, they
also want to sell books.

Let's not forget Sgt. Hank Hernandez, CIA affiliated like Pena, who worked to intimidate and break witnesses into changing their
stories. Just like Bobby's brother's assassination, not everything is as it seems.

Quote:'..."What were Kennedy's last words?" Moldea asked during an interview.
"'How's Paul?' How would Kennedy know Paul had been injured if he had not been turned around. He turned around when Sirhan
rushes towards him, yelling 'you son of a bitch Kennedy.' Kennedy's not going to just stand there. He turns his back defensively."

Moldea theorized that Schrade fell forward into Kennedy, pinning him against a table and pushing him into the muzzle of Sirhan's
gun, enabling him to fire four contact shots into Kennedy. One shot went through his jacket without hitting Kennedy, one went into
his back and stopped below his neck, one went through his armpit and one went into his brain...'

It seems that Mssrs. Moldea and Ayton's theory only holds up if we ignore the multiple bullet-holes in the door frame, the ceiling
tiles and witnesses that were actually there. Considering it's accepted that Sirhan Sirhan was filmed being pounced upon after
firing all his ammunition -one that hit RFK in the head, two in the back, one that pierced his jacket and the rest assisting in hitting
five others from the group, we can say that the young man didn't have time to reload.

Ergo, Robert Kennedy turned away and Sirhan fired his weapon towards the back of the Senator. Let's just forget about the
gunpowder stains on RFK's neck, stains that prove he was shot at close range.

Let us also ignore the findings of Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Dr.Noguchi’s autopsy on RFK Findings that state Kennedy
was shot from behind by at least a second gunman with all four bullets entering from the rear, three entering his body.
And he affirms the fact that none of the bullets from Sirhan’s gun hit RFK.

No, let's stay with the narrative that a crazy Palestinian who believed Robert Kennedy's support of sending jet-fighters to Israel
was enough to get him drunk that night and with madman scribblings in his diary, he decided that a plan wouldn't be needed to
intercept the Senator in the hotel kitchen and off he went into history. A hotel in a town that Sirhan Sirhan just happened to live
in and was fortunately on Robert Kennedy's political tour.
(You're allowed to shake your head at this point)

Quote:'...But Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn't find those theories persuasive. "It's not only that nobody saw that," Kennedy said. "The people
that were closest to [Sirhan], the people that disarmed him all said he never got near my father."
Schrade used an expletive to describe Moldea's explanation and said he fell backward when he was shot above his forehead...'

Yeah, it's a f*ckin' stupid theory.

Quote:'...Both Ayton and Moldea assisted the California attorney general's office in contesting Sirhan's final appeal, and the government's
legal briefs cited the investigative work of both men.

Moldea had initially been a believer in the second-gunman theory, but after interviewing numerous police officers, witnesses and
Sirhan, he concluded in his 1995 book, "The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy," that Sirhan acted alone.
He cited as additional proof a comment Sirhan reportedly made to a defense investigator about Kennedy turning his head before
Sirhan shot him, a comment Sirhan strongly denied making...'

Oh yes, but surely Sirhan would deny it because he's a bad man... it's better to believe someone who wasn't even at the friggin'
incident!

Quote:'...More recently, Sirhan's lawyers have explored whether he was hypnotized to begin shooting his gun when given a certain cue,
even hiring a renowned expert in hypnosis from Harvard to meet with Sirhan.
Judge Wistrich was completely dismissive of any suggestion of hypnosis.
Schrade said the various theories of conspiracy and hypnotic programming are of little interest to him.

"I'm interested in finding out how the prosecutor convicted Sirhan with no evidence, knowing there was a second gunman," Schrade
said. It was Schrade who persuaded Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to examine the evidence. "Once Schrade showed me the autopsy report,"
Kennedy said, "then I didn't feel like it was something I could just dismiss. Which is what I wanted to do."

Kennedy called Sirhan's trial "really a penalty hearing. It wasn't a real trial. At a full trial, they would have litigated his guilt or innocence.
I think it's unfortunate that the case never went to a full trial because that would have compelled the press and prosecutors to focus on
the glaring discrepancies in the narrative that Sirhan fired the shots that killed my father."...'

As said before, Robert Kennedy Jr.'s views won't change what the Establishment has done. The Agencies do what they're
told and nobody is above being in their cross-hairs. Be careful RFK jr.
