Fact check
Is it true: RFK Assassination Conspiracy?
It's still under investigation.
Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of RFK's murder and was present firing his weapon. Coroner Thomas Noguchi found the fatal shot fired from behind at one to one-and-a-half inches — inconsistent with witness accounts placing Sirhan in front of Kennedy at distance.

Paul Schrade (shot at the scene) has called for reinvestigation; so has RFK Jr.
