...many as 100 people were crowded into the pantry of Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel on June 5, 1968, when Sirhan Bishara Sirhan fired a 22-cal. revolver at Robert F. Kennedy. No one, as far as is known to this day, observed a second assassin. An autopsy and a far-reaching investigation by the FBI and local police persuaded authorities that Sirhan was the lone killer...
Eight eyewitnesses say that they saw Sirhan Bishara Sirhan assassinate Robert F. Kennedy in the jammed serving pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. Unlike Lee Harvey Oswald, who was killed before he could be tried, or James Earl Ray, who pleaded guilty before being brought before a jury of his peers, Sirhan was given a lengthy public trial and was convicted of murder in the first degree.

Nonetheless, Sirhan could become almost...

It was perhaps ruj#363;liyah that took Sirhan Bishara Sirhan to a serving pantry in Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel last June and there cost Senator Robert Kennedy his life. And it was ruj#363;liyah that attorneys for the young Jordanian assassin were forced above all to battle in their efforts last week to spare him from the death penalty...
