Key witness to RFK assassination says Sirhan Sirhan didn’t act alone

A key witness to the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy has retracted her official statements in the case and now claims that convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan did not act alone.

Nina Rhodes-Hughes, 78, tells CNN that the FBI "twisted" her original statements to authorities. In recent court filings led by California Attorney General Kamala Harris, state prosecutors argue that even if there were a second gunman on the scene, Sirhan is still guilty of murder.

"What has to come out is that there was another shooter to my right," Rhodes told CNN. "The truth has got to be told. No more cover-ups."

Rhodes' original FBI statement says she only heard 8 gunshots at the time and makes no mention of a second shooter. However, Rhodes, who was just feet away from Kennedy says she never claimed to have only heard 8 shots.

"I never said eight shots. I never, never said it. There were more than eight shots," she told CNN. "There were at least 12, maybe 14. And I know there were because I heard the rhythm in my head."

Last November, Sirhan's attorneys announced they were filing a challenge to the verdict, alleging a conspiracy by authorities in the case. They are asking that Sirhan be released from prison. His attorneys argue that Sirhan was the victim of a malicious form of "hypo programming" that falsely caused him to believe he was RFK's assassin.

"For me it's hopeful and sad that it's only coming out now instead of before--but at least now instead of never," Rhodes told CNN.

Rhodes was never called as a witness in Sirhan's trial but claims she gave an interview shortly after the shooting during which she claimed to have heard at least a dozen shots.

There's that tin foil again with a statement from a woman standing close enough to touch RFK during the shooting.

Tin foil everywhere! Never in America!

Right?

So who did murder RFK?

Tin hat that there was a second shooter? I think many believe there could have been.

Actually, you don't get to wear your foil for this one my fuzzy friend... There are a LOT of very sane legitimate critics of the investigation of RFK's murder.
I don't know if I buy the 'hypno programming' angle his attorneys are taking THIS TIME. Before it was "fueled by liquor and anger", then it was the "I believe he would not countenance singling me out for this kind of treatment" ploy. Then still later he had "no recollection", And now, out comes the 'hypno coin' .... YA SEE THE KIND OF DAMAGE THE CONTINUED AIRING OF JERSEY SHORE IS DOING TO OUR SOCIETY?????

Any way, with that said, I don't really buy that ONE guy got off between 8 and 14 shots (depending on what witness you consult), firing into very crowded space and only hit Kennedy. I remember some audio expert saying that there were 13 shots that can be heard on tape and some had shorter intervals than were physically possible with one person operating one firearm.
So I think I may easily buy that the 2nd shooter theory. But I dunno about the hypno coin bit.
Good luck getting rid of Scott Walker BTW - Something tells me you're going to need the foil when it comes down to the real electoral shoot-out in June... Don't forget to audit the voting machines before the people vote.
