Former Los Angeles Chief Deputy District Attorney Lynn Compton says the LAPD never told Sirhan Sirhan's prosecutors about the Pruszynski audio recording that police had obtained months after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

In this video, CNN International anchor Max Foster in London interviews Lynn "Buck" Compton in Burlington, Washington about this apparent audio evidence of a second gunman -- someone in addition to Sirhan -- also firing at Senator Kennedy on June 5, 1968.

Forensic experts Philip Van Praag and Robert J. Joling have concluded that this previously unknown Pruszynski recording, uncovered by an American journalist in 2004 and examined extensively by Van Praag beginning in 2005, reveals that Sirhan did not act alone.

The Pruszynski recording is the only known audio tape of the RFK shooting. It was made by freelance newspaper reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski, a Polish journalist covering the RFK presidential campaign for Canadian newspapers.

According to Van Praag and Joling, not only does the Pruszynski recording reveal that, in addition to convicted gunman Sirhan, there was a second, hidden gunman in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen pantry also firing at RFK but that it along with other forensic evidence proves none of Sirhan's bullets hit Kennedy. They say the Democratic presidential candidate was shot by the second unknown gunman and not by Sirhan, who is the only person ever arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced for the assassination.

Joling and Van Praag say all eight bullets fired by Sirhan missed Bobby Kennedy and instead hit bystanders and woodwork inside the kitchen pantry and inside another area near the pantry. They say RFK was struck four times (three bullets entering his body and one passing through his clothing) and all four Kennedy bullets were fired from extremely close range immediately behind the Senator by someone other than Sirhan, who was several feet to Kennedy's front and never got behind RFK.

According to Van Praag and Joling, the Pruszynski recording reveals that at the moment of the RFK shooting in the hotel kitchen pantry, at least 13 shots were fired: 5 more bullets fired than Sirhan alone could have fired with his single 8-shot revolver and which he had no opportunity to reload in the pantry. In addition, the experts say the recording also reveals two sets of "double shots": shots fired too closely together to have come from the same gun.

They say the Pruszynski recording reveals the second gunman (RFK's real killer, they believe) likely was firing a .22 caliber 9-shot H&R 922 handgun at the same time that Sirhan was firing his .22 caliber 8-shot Iver Johnson Cadet 55 handgun. They say the hidden H&R weapon fired at least five shots from the rear while Sirhan fired all eight of his Iver Johnson's bullets from in front. They say Sirhan only had a free hand during his first two shots: that the first two shots Sirhan fired missed Senator Kennedy and Sirhan's last six shots were fired wildly while he was being grabbed by several people in the pantry. They say only the second gunman had a clear shot at RFK and was able to quickly fire his bullets into Kennedy from behind, unseen by most witnesses because all attention in the pantry had shifted to Sirhan and his gun.

Robert Kennedy and five other people were shot at the Ambassador in Los Angeles at 12:16 AM on June 5, 1968 only moments after the New York Senator had claimed victory in the June 4th California Democratic Presidential Primary. It was the third major American assassination of the 1960s, occurring 4 1/2 years after the assassination of RFK's brother, U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

Van Praag and Joling presented their RFK assassination findings before the annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences in Washington D.C. on February 21, 2008. On March 25, 2008, they likewise presented their findings in Ledyard, Connecticut before hundreds of forensic experts attending the annual Markle Symposium, sponsored by the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science. Earlier, on June 6, 2007, the Discovery Times Channel premiered the television documentary, "Conspiracy Test: The RFK Assassination" which featured Van Praag, Joling, Stanislaw Pruszynski of Warsaw, Poland and other notables as the program focused in detail on Van Praag's Pruszynski recording findings. Also featured in "Conspiracy Test" was shooting victim Paul Schrade of Los Angeles who is currently spearheading efforts to reopen the RFK assassination case at the local, state or federal level, based in large part on the late-breaking revelations from the Pruszynski recording.

The original CNN International interview with Lynn Compton was aired on television on June 6, 2008.

  • Yes, Mr. Compton, there are serious questions, your denials notwithstanding. People did see and did hear the second gunman. There is an actual audio tape that confirms this.

    When our leaders are murdered and taken from us, Mr. Compton, we should NEVER let it drop. Otherwise, why in the hell did you go to Europe with a gun in 1944? "Get over it" is a weak and fatuous argument, one that suggests that focusing on playing your next round of golf is more important than finding the truth.
