Weisel Tells CBS2: Officials Should Try To Find Second RFK Assassin
William Weisel, shot the same night RFK was assassinated, says he has no objection to Sirhan's release. He also questions if there was a second shooter.

COALINGA (AP) — A California parole board has denied parole for Robert F. Kennedy's convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan.
The decision came Wednesday after a hearing before a California parole board at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga.
The 66-year-old Sirhan says he doesn't remember shooting Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4, 1968.

Defense lawyer William Pepper said he became Sirhan's pro bono attorney in the fall of 2007 after he learned of the results of an audio analysis conducted on a sound track of the Kennedy shooting. The audio recording, made 40 feet away from the crime scene by free-lance newspaper reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski, is the only known recording of the gunshots in that June 1968 assassination.
Pepper said he believes the Pruszynski recording is evidence showing that there was a second gun firing in addition to Sirhan's Iver-Johnson handgun. The tape was uncovered in 2004 by CNN's Brad Johnson, who had the recording independently examined by two audio analysts, Spence Whitehead in Atlanta, Georgia, and Philip Van Praag in Tucson, Arizona. Johnson reported on their separate findings for CNN's Backstory in June 2009.

He's alive but Kennedy is still dead. So this man's opinion is that of a recovered wounded man and not important here. As long Kennedy stays dead I think the killer should not be free.

If you'd like to be better informed than this knucklehead, above, is about the Pruszynski recording and what it really reveals about a second gunman in the RFK murder, then do a YouTube search for... "Conspiracy Test: The RFK Assassination" which is an excellent TV documentary on the Pruszynski discovery and audio analysis.

@IwshIcldstrtover YOU ARE DEAD WRONG! The newly-discovered Pruszynski recording REVEALS 13 -- COUNT 'EM, THIRTEEN! -- gunshots. Five more shots than the eight shots that Sirhan fired. Do you live in a friggin' cave or something? Why don't you know that you dunderhead?

This is stupid. There doesn't need to be another investigation. The newly discovered Pruszynski audio tape reveals 7-8 gunshots, rapidly fired. No more. Sirhan should remain in prison.
