An open and shut case? The RFK Tapes - a podcast by RNZ

In 1968, the American senator and politician Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. It was just 4 and a half years after the assassination of his older brother John F. Kennedy in Dallas. A lone gunman called Sirhan Sirhan was captured at the scene with a revolver in his hand, and convicted and sentenced to death (later reduced to life imprisonment). But 'The RFK Tapes' explores whether the case against Sirhan Sirhan was as straightforward as it sounds...and it uses lots of lovely old tapes, newsreel and other audio to do it. We play an excerpt from Episode 1 of The RFK Tapes from Crimetown Presents.
