=**ASSASSINATION OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY: **=

 Robert Francis Kennedy (Bobby) Kennedy was born November 20, 1925 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was raised by a wealthy family and attended Milton Academy and Harvard College. He began his legal career after graduating from the University of Virginia Law School in 1951. He managed his brothers, John F. Kennedy, campaign for senate and president. After successfully winning the presidency JFK offered him attorney general, he agreed, and although he was young and inexperienced he did a good job. On June 5, 1968, two months after the death of Martin Luther King Jr., he delivered a victory speech in the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel. After delivering the speech he was told to go through the kitchen because it was a shortcut. Even though he was advised by his bodyguard not to do so, he walked through and was shot several times by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan with a .22 caliber pistol. Sirhan Sirhan, a Christian Palestinian-American, felt betray by Kennedy’s support for Israel. He confessed and was even proud of his actions. He was sentenced to death and is still in prison today actively pursuing parole. Sadly enough in Palestine people viewed his action as a heroic one. Bobby Kennedy died that following morning, November 6, 1968, of a lethal shot in the head in Los Angeles’ Good Samaritan Hospital.
