Another participant in the Politics of Conspiracy Conference was freelance journalist Ted Charach, a student of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Charach contends that, although Sirhan Sirhan did fire his gun in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel on the morning of June 5, 1968, Kennedy was in fact killed by a bullet from a second gun, placed directly in back of the Senator while Sirhan struck a pose in front of him, and with wild shots and dramatic gestures drew attention to himself. Sirhan, according to a psychiatric study done while he was in police custody, is extremely...
...Charach's primary source of evidence is the report of Los Angeles coroner Thomas Noguchi that Kennedy was killed by a gun not more than three inches from the back of his head. Not only did Sirhan fire from in front of Kennedy, but all witnesses said that he was never closer to the Senator than three feet...
...Charach has produced a full-length movie. "The Second Gun," in which he seeks to prove from the testimony of eyewitnesses that another gun was drawn and fired in the Ambassador kitchen. His suspect is a former hotel security guard, an avowed right-winger who believed that John F. Kennedy "sold us out to the Russians" and that his brother would have done the same, if elected. The guard admitted having owned a gun of the same caliber as the one which apparently killed Kennedy but claimed to have sold it six months before. Charach demonstrates that he sold...
...Though Charach's evidence is certainly less substantive than the material in the J.F.K. case, he does show fairly well that the likelihood of Sirhan having acted alone is very small.

Who is the man who mounts the platform as Kennedy is concluding his victory speech, looks around cautiously, signals to someone in the audience, and then departs? No one in the Kennedy entourage could identify him, security around...
...three-day national conference on assassination theory, and it includes some movies. Also lectures, seminars, and experts like former New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, Mark Lane (Oswald's lawyer who made the film Rush to Judgment with Emilio de Antonio), the screenwriter for Executive Action, Donald Freed, and Theodore Charach who made The Second Gun and knows more about the JFK killing than practically anyone. At B.U. For details call the Cambridge Assassination Information Bureau...
