The Second Gun: The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy (1973)
The evidence of a second gun or second shooter has been gaining credibility and momentum since this 1973 documentary attempted to scientifically prove that there were more than one shooter on that fateful night in 1968 that took the life of Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy…
“The location of Kennedy’s wounds suggested that his assailant had stood behind him, but some witnesses said that Sirhan faced west as Kennedy moved through the pantry facing east.This has led to the suggestion that a second gunman actually fired the fatal shot, a possibility supported by coroner Thomas Noguchi who stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy’s right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately one inch.[Other witnesses, though, said that as Sirhan approached, Kennedy was turning to his left shaking hands, facing north and so exposing his right side.As recently as 2008, eyewitness John Pilger asserted his belief that there must have been a second gunman. During a re-examination of the case in 1975, the Los Angeles Superior Court ordered expert examination of the possibility of a second gun having been used, and the conclusion of the experts was that there was little or no evidence to support this theory.” Wikipedia
