Los Angeles Coroner Thomas Noguchi reported that the fatal shot was fired at close range from RFK’s rear, and that ballistics and witnesses all said Sirhan never got closer than a couple feet to RFK’s front.
RFK’s bodyguard Thane Caesar lied to the police about his possession that night of a handgun, and it was his clip-on tie which was grabbed and held by RFK when he was on the pantry floor.
Key evidence such as ceiling tiles and door jambs, which would evidence more bullets were fired than the capacity of Sirhan’s gun alone, were destroyed by the LAPD.
None of which changes the fact that Sirhan did it.
