The assassination of Senator ‘Bobby' Kennedy - widely tipped to become US President in 1968 - was an event that shook and possibly changed the world.Sirhan Sirhan was arrested at the scene, just feet away from Kennedy and with a literal smoking gun in his hand. He’s been incarcerated ever since. Case closed? Or is it.The LAPD and FBI investigations into the killings have long been regarded as sloppy, insufficient and prejudiced against alternative explanations, even to the point of ignoring or intimidating some key witnesses. Author and filmmaker Tim Tate has spent many years working on the case and has unearthed powerful evidence that Sirhan was not acting alone, could not have fired the fatal shots - and may even have been part of a wider plot that feels like something a Hollywood screenwriter would dream up.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Assassination-Robert-Kennedy-Conspiracy-Investigation/dp/1839012730Andrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlowniePhil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraigYou can get in touch with the show hosts [email protected] (place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please)This show is part of the PodcastWorld.org network.
