Varför var det INGA vittnen som uppgav att de hört mer än 8 skott i samband med mordet?
Det lilla antal vittnen som kommit med sådana uppgifter, som Nina när hon ändrade sig från 8 skott, verkar ha tillkommit långt i efterhand.
“In total, he heard what he thought was 10 to 12 shots.” – SUS interview report of Booker Griffin,
July 25, 1968
“After the Kennedy party had passed, she heard cracking [sic] noises which sounded like exploding firecrackers. She immediately realized, however, that the sounds were gunshot sounds and they were in rapid succession, a total of about 8 or 10 shots.” – FBI interview report of Suzanne Locke,
June 7, 1968
“At the time of the shooting, he heard between 5 and 10 sharp shots but could not distinguish them as individual reports.” – SUS interview of Jesse Unruh,
July 21, 1968
“I thought I heard at least about 10 shots, but I know I heard less on the radio, but it sounded like an awful lot. It wasn’t one or two. It was a lot of shots.” – SUS interview of Estelyn Duffy,
June 5, 1968. An abbreviated summary of Duffy’s comments in the SUS files includes “Sounded like a whip (shots) 8/10,” indicating she told them she heard eight to ten shots.
“He … heard a string of lighted firecrackers going off.*… When the firecracker sounds had gone off … he suddenly realized shots had been fired. His reaction was that the shots must have come from an automatic weapon since they were so rapid.” – FBI Interview of Michael Rhodes,
July 15, 1968
“One witness said those shots came so close together that he could scarcely believe they were fired from one gun. A reporter who heard the shots from an adjoining room said they sounded almost like they came from a machine gun, so short was the burst of fire.” – Walter Cronkite on CBS in the
early hours after the shooting
“Two or three seconds after Kennedy entered the kitchen, he heard 8 or 9 shots in quick succession. (He thought there had been two guns.)” – LAPD interview summary of Roy Mills,
August 9, 1968
“After the third pop I realized it was a gun being fired, it seemed to me that I heard at least 8 or 10 shots.” – LAPD interview of Carol Ann Breshears,
June 5, 1968
Nästan samtliga vittnen säger att skotten kom i mycket snabb följd, vilket i sin tur gör det svårt att i tumultet urskilja och räkna varje enskilt skott. Enligt LAPD så avlossade Sirhan samtliga patroner i sin pistol, 8 stycken. Ett antal vittnen säger att det var färre än 8 skott som avlossades = bevis för att det uppenbarligen var svårt att ’räkna’ antalet skott för de vittnen som var närvarande.
Det finns mer.
