Many people crowded in the small room at Los Angeles's famed Ambassador Hotel that fateful night saw Sirhan Sirhan pull the trigger.

Bobby, the younger brother of John F. Kennedy, who was himself murdered some five years earlier, succumbed to his wounds twenty-six hours later.For more than fifty years the subject of Bobby Kennedy's assassination has remained in the news as conspiracy writers, assisted by the ruminations of Hollywood celebrities, continue to promote the many, and varied, theories surrounding the murder.
