RFK assassination witness tells CNN: There was a second shooter
April 28, 2012|By Michael Martinez and Brad Johnson, CNN
As a federal court prepares to rule on a challenge to Sirhan Sirhan's conviction in the Robert F. Kennedy assassination, a long overlooked witness to the murder is telling her story: She heard two guns firing during the 1968 shooting and authorities altered her account of the crime.
Nina Rhodes-Hughes wants the world to know that, despite what history says, Sirhan was not the only gunman firing shots when Senator Kennedy was murdered a few feet away from her at a Los Angeles hotel.
What has to come out is that there was another shooter to my right," Rhodes-Hughes said in an exclusive interview with CNN. "The truth has got to be told. No more cover-ups."
Her voice at times becoming emotional, Rhodes-Hughes described for CNN various details of the assassination, her long frustration with the official reporting of her account and her reasons for speaking out: "I think to assist me in healing -- although you're never 100% healed from that. But more important to bring justice."
"For me it's hopeful and sad that it's only coming out now instead of before -- but at least now instead of never," Rhodes-Hughes told CNN by phone from her home near Vancouver, Canada.
Sirhan, the only person arrested, tried and convicted in the shooting of Kennedy and five other people, is serving a life sentence at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, California.
The U.S. District Court in Los Angeles is set to rule on a request by the 68-year-old Sirhan that he be released, retried or granted a hearing on new evidence, including Rhodes-Hughes' firsthand account.
At his 1969 trial, Sirhan's original defense team never contested the prosecution's case that Sirhan was the one and only shooter in Kennedy's assassination. Sirhan testified at his trial that he had killed Kennedy "with 20 years of malice aforethought," and he was convicted and sentenced to death, which was reduced to life in prison in 1972.
After the trial, Sirhan recanted his courtroom confession.
In the recent federal court filings, state prosecutors led by California Attorney General Kamala Harris argue that even if there were a second gunman involved in the Kennedy shooting, Sirhan hasn't proven his innocence and he's still guilty of murder under California's vicarious liability law. Sirhan's new legal team disputes that assertion.

And visions of polka dot dresses danced in their heads. And all through the courtroom and all through the news not a thing was mentioned about the possibility of Jews.

IIRC, there were so many bullet holes in doors/ceilings/peoples' bodies &c., and independent eye-witnesses that reported hearing many more shots than SS (Sirhan Sirhan) could have possibly fired that it's a dead cert that there was more than one shooter for sure.
I reckon it's most likely that SS was firing blanks, and that there was at least one other shooter active. If *anyone* did any *real* shooting I reckon that it was probably Thane Eugene Cesar, Bobby's 'last minute stand-in' for one of his bodyguards.

That makes sense except for the problem of too many bullets for one gun tobyave fired. That would mean two more shooters. Now it gets too messy.

You're not kidding.
In this confined area there would be murder weapon, bullets fired from that weapon and bullets collected at the scene from the body and elsewhere.
If SS had done the deed there would have been no question.
Since SS was allowed so close he was unlikely to miss and/or there were through-and-throughs and less reason for many bullets to be fired.
The forensic team must have had a field day. But it would have been a solid case.
This reeks of desparation and massive cover up unless they fetch out the conclusive evidence that undoutedly exists that SS did it and everyone else was an innocent bystander. |
