Sirhan

 After 53 years in prison....Sirhan Sirhan was given parole yesterday.  At the heart of the RFK assassination, virtually every year that passed....the case against Sirhan weakened.  Even the state prosecutor agrees....justice probably got screwed up in some fashion.  

The general view?  I've probably put over a hundred hours in the past thirty years looking at various accounts....the problems with the extra bullet, and at Sirhan himself.  I have no doubt....the bullet that killed RFK....came from the rear of RFK (with Sirhan in front of him).

The weird way that Sirhan seemed to be unable to explain his shooting of the President?  There's no doubt that he had a pistol, and he fired 6 rounds from his .22 Iver Johnson weapon.  Beyond that....the evidence is blunt....there has to be a second pistol in play and from the opposite direction.

What'll happen to Sirhan, upon release?  I would imagine he gets interviewed a good bit, and the general public tends to view the shooting in a different way.
