China Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 New evidence suggests second shooter killed RFK David Edwards and Nick Juliano Published: Wednesday March 26, 2008 Forty years after Democratic rising star Robert F. Kennedy was killed at a Los Angeles hotel during his presidential run, new evidence suggests the man serving a life sentence for his murder did not fire the shots that killed the charismatic senator. Forensic scientists met at a conference in Connecticut this week to discuss their independent findings that cast serious doubt on the Kennedy assassination. Sirhan Sirhan is serving a life sentence in Kennedy's death, but the conference presenters argue he could not have fired the fatal shot that killed Kennedy. One investigator, Dr. Robert Joling, has studied the Kennedy assassination for nearly four decades. He determined the fatal shot came from behind Kennedy, while Sirhan was four to six feet in front of the senator and never got close enough to shoot him from behind, an NBC affiliate reports. Analysis by another forensics engineer, Philip Van Praag, of a Canadian journalists tape recording, known as the Pruszynski recording, determined that 13 shots were fired while Kennedy was killed, although Sirhan's gun only held eight bullets, according to the NBC reporter. This suggests that a second shooter was involved in the assassination. Van Praag's analysis led him to conclude that a second gun that was fired matched a type owned by one of the security guards in Kennedy's entourage.

SkinsOrlando Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I watched a program about this a few years ago, it was very interesting and wouldn't surprise me but this falls into the "we'll never know" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzod Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 How funny would it have been if the two shooters, one in front, and one behind, accidentally shot each other instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I must say that's totally unbelieveable. Robert Kennedy was shot in a crowded kitchen of the ambasedor hotel in front of many witnesses from 2 to 5 feet away. Including Rossie Greer the famed Rams defensive fearsome foursome tackle who was acting as security. Rossie saw the shooter but testified he was standing behind Robert Kennedy and couldn't get between them fast enough to stop the shooting. Rossie is the one who disarmed Sirhan Sirhan jamming his thumb behind the trigger so he couldn't fire anymore. If their was another shooter, it's not likely all those folks standing around Kennedy would have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossie Greer man handled him along with olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnso. I was just reading about this. Sirhan used a 22. That's the same calabre Reagan got shot with..
