Clearly he did not.

Sirhan was up on a 4 foot high table, firing horizontally. Senator Kennedy
was shot from behind in a sharply upward angle.

The resulting bullet hole evidence supporting this: Ceiling tiles, door
jams, were removed and promptly lost.

There were TWO witnesses who saw the body guard to Kennedy firing a pistol
from his hip up into Kennedy. One said it was intentional, the other said
it was accidental. Both were not allowed to testify.

The mob had a lot of control of cities in America back then.

Sirhan was not "UP" on a table. He was NEXT to the table. And he was
short. The problem is that Sirhan was never close enough for his
revolver to leave powder burns. That happens only at closer ranges.

The RFK assassination is prime example of how much some people desperately
need to believe in conspiracies. Here is a case where the killer is
caught virtually standing over the dead man's body with a smoking gun in
his hand and these people say he didn't do it. (It was a lady in a polka
dot dress or someone else.) Kinda dulls any hope that we'll ever see an
end to the JFK assn. controversy. Too many people enjoy it.

After checking the preponderence of material, I stand on the floor,
corrected on this.

I had read it recently online, and was amazed I hadn't understood it to be
the case before. It was reported on that page in error.

>Please inform forum members of the names of the two >witnesses who said

Wikipedia says it was 3 witnesses to Thane Cesar shooting into Kennedy, not
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan_Sirhan

In other reports, there were 2 witnesses, one a newsman.

The name of one is Donald Schulman, who is the witness who believed Thane
Cesar's attempt to shoot back at Sirhan caused him to shoot Kennedy, as he
reports he observed happen. One place this was testified was on KNXT news
with Jerry Dunphy on June 5, 1968.

The other one or two witnesses are elusive at the moment, as they are not
found in my immediate search, and I need to get back to work.

There is, however, newly found additional evidence to support the veracity
of a second shooter.

The shots in the kitchen pantry was recorded on audio tape by Stanislaw
Pruszynski, a freelance newspaper reporter who was covering Senator
Kennedy's presidential campaign for the Montreal Gazette.

Pruszynski had made the recording with a battery-powered portable cassette
tape recorder and an attached microphone. Pruszynski's tape has become the
only known sound recording of the Robert F. Kennedy assassination and
analysis of it has only just begun.

On February 21, 2008, scientific results that conclude the recording
reveals a second gun in the assassination were presented at the American
Academy of Forensic Sciences annual meeting in Washington DC for further
study and peer review.

Sirhan was not standing on the table. He was standing next to it and he
was grabbed by Rosie Greer.

***Place the gun at your hip and try to aim up by bending your wrist. You
are basicly forced to shoot level.

The arm would have to be bent upward to fire upward, raising the altitude
of the gun.

I still can't figure out a way to explain it to you so that you can
understand that a lone shooter can be part of a conspiracy. I guess
you've never heard of a contract killing. A paid assassin is the only
person firing, but he is paid to to it by someone else. That makes it a
conspiracy.

Since it was determined by the coroner that the fatal head wound was shot
from about 1.5" away, it's probable that Thane Cesar got one off raising
his arm, or during Kennedy's going down to the floor.

Even YOU might be a little suspicious if he had thrown it into the river
immediately after the assassination.

There is nothing PROBABLE about it. You simply cannot throw around


allegations that Thane Cesar shot RFK .

You have shown handsomely that you have no regard for testimony from anyone.

I have found eyewitness testimony taken on news video the night of the
shooting saying Sirhan was on top of a table:

Watch it and weep.

One versus many. How could Rosie Greer boy slam Sirhan and grab the
revolver if Sirhan was STANDING on the table? You are cherry picking.

This is the first time I've heard of Pruszynski. Is he mentioned in any
books on the subject? have ordered O'Sullivan's documentary from our
library. I vaguely recall that he e-mailed me a few years ago. I'll have
to find it as I don't remember what his question was?

There is a detailed report on Pruszynski as part of a biography of RFK at
wikipedia.com. I have ordered O'Sullivan's documentary from the library.
He had e-mailed me back in 2004 in regard to my short article on John
Meier, which I sent him. - Peter R. Whitmey
