Pepper and made the film, GREATEST PIECE OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN 75 YEARS: Barbour & Osanic's Tribute to Wm. F. Pepper.Attorney Pepper petitioned for Sirhan Sirhan’s release, “claiming that a second gunman fired the shots that killed Robert F. Kennedy … Pepper believes that Sirhan, who claims to have no memory of the shooting, was programmed under hypnosis to shoot and provide a distraction from the actual gunman who got away. Hypnosis expert Harvard Medical School professor Daniel P. Brown concluded that Sirhan did not act under his own volition and knowledge at the time of the shooting. He was a real ‘Manchurian Candidate’” -Wikipedia.Sirhan was always in front of Senator Kennedy, whose autopsy showed he was shot from behind with the gun very close, a couple of inches away. And Sirhan was plausibly firing blanks, not bullets. The 1973 documentary, THE SECOND GUN, shows how the shooter was probably security guard Thane Eugene Cesar.William Pepper was also James Earl Ray’s last attorney, arguing that Ray did not kill Martin Luther King Jr in 1968. Pepper not only found the Memphis cop who shot King, he had lunch with him.TrineDay.comBooks that challenge official history … because it matters
