New Evidence on Robert Kennedy: 13 shots, two guns!!
March 30th 2008 03:21
At the annual international symposium of forensic scientists, at the Dr. Henry C. Lee College, University of New Haven, on Tuesday, March 25th, 2008, a Dr. Robert Joling and Phillip Van Praag, presented their independant research showing two guns were used, by two shooters, one of which had to have been standing directly behind Robert Kennedy, firing at point blank range.

Sirhan Sirhan, the man charged and convicted of Kennedy's assassination, could not have delivered those particular shots, as he was seen a few feet in front of Kennedy when he opened fire.
This means, whoever was standing directly behind Kennedy had to have been the actual killer, as the wounds to the head were consistent with being shot at an upward angle, and from behind him, and as there were powder burns on Kennedy's hair ans skin, that means the shot was within inches of Kennedy's head.

Following is a wikipedia link, showing a transcription of Sirhan Sirhan's diary. It does appear, and he alter alleged, that he had been brainwashed, and had no recollection of the assassination, only remembering his reflection in a coffee urn.

Dr. Robert Joling: trial lawyer, former judge and President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
Prusynzki Tape: the only tape recording of the events of the day, that was close to the actual assassination. The original investigation, by leading British and American acoustic forensic experts all agreed there were only 8 shots heard on the tape, exactly fitting the amount of bullets Sirhan Sirhan's gun could take in one loading.
Philip Van Praag: electrical engineer and author of ‘Evolution of the Audio Recorder.'
With Wes Dooley, a forensic analyst and manufacturer of ribbon microphones, they analysed the tape again, for a Discovery Times Channel documentary in 2007, "Conspiracy Test: The RFK Assassination" and found that there were between 10 and 13 shots fired. Van Praag in a television interview has since confirmed he believes the number of shots is more accurately 13.

Autopsy
Sirhan's gun was placed by all witnesses at between 2 and 5 feet from the Senator when he fired his revolver. [10] Despite the autopsy report suggesting that all four shots that hit Kennedy came from behind, all witnesses seemed to agree Sirhan was facing Kennedy when he fired. In conducting the autopsy on Kennedy, Los Angeles coroner Dr. Thomas Noguchi found powder burns on Kennedy's ear and gunpowder residue in his hair. Noguchi said this indicated that Kennedy was shot from a distance of, at most, 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). (When a firearm is discharged, the powder residue travels only a few inches because the material is very light.) Noguchi's conclusions led to speculation that Sirhan was too far from Kennedy and in the wrong position to have administered the fatal shot (also fired from a .22 caliber handgun, one which had apparently been fired into Kennedy's head at point-blank range from behind his right ear) and that a second shooter must have been present. Dr. Noguchi wrote years later that:
“ Until more is precisely known…the existence of a second gunman remains a possibility. Thus, I have never said that Sirhan Sirhan killed Robert Kennedy. ”

Here following is the memorial erected in Robert Kennedy's honour. Curious is it not, that it resembles a kerb and a gutter...I wonder why that symbolism was chosen?
Seem to remember seeing a similar memorial somewhere, another "gutter memorial", oh yes, Diana's monstrosity in London...how odd...

Interesting is it not, that these astounding revelations were delivered to the world press on the 25th of March 2008, yet not one word heard down under in our own press, so far?

The floor of the cage is a ruddy mess!
As for Ted, Chappaquiddick (?) certainly stopped him in his tracks!
