| Description | A book that will change the way you think about a murder that changed America.
For the past 30 years, Sirhan Sirhan has been locked up in a jail cell for the murder of Bobby Kennedy -- a crime which was immediately labeled an open-and-shut case. The police and the courts concluded that Sirhan had undoubtedly killed Kennedy and he had acted alone. But after an exhaustive six-year examination of the crime, investigative journalist William Klaber and political science professor Philip Melanson come to a startling conclusion: Sirhan's case may have been grossly mishandled by the criminal justice system.
Based on their access to long-secret LAPD and FBI files, as well as interviews with witnesses and with Sirhan himself, the authors reveal startling new information about the case, including these and other eye-opening facts:
* Eleven shots were fired, while Sirhan's gun held just eight bullets...
* Key witnesses changed their testimony at the behest of LAPD interrogators...
* Sirhan's attorneys failed to challenge the introduction of any of the physical evidence...
* A woman was seen fleeing the scene, shouting: "We killed him!"
* Photographs allegedly taken of the murder have mysteriously vanished...
