The Assassin
Palestinian immigrant Sirhan Sirhan was arrested and charged with the murder of Robert F. Kennedy. According to Sirhan's diary, the motivation for the assassination was Kennedy's support of Israel during the Six-Day war and his general pro-Israeli stance. While conflicting evidence at the time of the assassination cast doubt as to whether or not Sirhan was actually the killer, his confession made it easy for prosecutors to try him for the murder. Sirhan was convicted of aggravated murder in the first degree for murder and was initially sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1972 and he has been in prison since.Conspiracy Theory
A report by leading forensics experts has cast serious doubt as to whether Sirhan was actually Kennedy's killer. They noted that the trajectory of the bullets suggests that the shooter was in back of Kennedy rather than in front of him, as Sirhan was. This has led many people to believe that Sirhan was not alone in the assassination attempt.
