I have only read one book on the RFK murder. That was also from my local library. Obviously, there is overwhelming circumstantial evidence that RFK was murdered to assure the cover-up of the JFK murder. But according to the book I read, there is no ballistic, film, eyewitness or other evidence to show that anyone else was a shooter besides Sirhan. And he apparently had no personal motive other than impulse.
One could surmise that his family was rewarded for his act. But nobody has proven that. I can only go on what I have seen as evidence. Sirhan had no motive to kill RFK but he also was pretty much of the same profile of all these Isis extremist nut-balls, i.e. rootless, friendless, semi-coherent in his thinking and statements (although he said some pretty profound things, too, mixed-in).
My research and reading goes in the direction of open doors. I just didn't see any open doors or unreconciled issues in the Sirhan case. It's exactly like Chappaquiddick. It looks circumstantially like a plot. But if there's no evidence and no leads, there is no place to begin looking. Time may be better spent looking into German-American relations 1935-1963 or Italian Politics 1935-1963. Those are issues that clearly beg for more clarification.
And (thanks to this website) there needs to be more research into Guy Banister. From the 1960 FBI file, he looks more like a "good-guy" than "bad-guy." Dr. Caufield strongly believes that Garrison was totally faking his accusations (or lack thereof) against right-wingers and was totally conflicted and pulling his punches with regard to people like Leander Perez and Kent Courtney. Garrison had apparently represented segregationists and possibly KKK types in his role as States Attorney. Its interesting that the FBI report on Banister as of 1960 ALREADY has him connected to Courtney and Perez.
Courtney was an author of a 1963 treatise on Arms Control (not in his field). It was almost of clone of a treatise on the same subject by Judge Robert Morris in 1963. (The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963 was a major pretext for the assassination). And Perez was standing next to Huey Long when Huey Long was assassinated in 1935. So it looks superficially like Banister was an FBI mole or spy of some kind who was ensnaring these (probably murderous) right-wingers in New Orleans starting when he "resigned" from the FBI in Chicago in 1954. Banister might even have been secretly monitoring even bigger fish like James O Eastland and Mayor de Lesseps Morrison, the close relative of Hale Boggs' wife. Not to mention Boggs himself.
I hope these new leads keep coming. They're great.
But my mind is completely open on Sirhan. Just don't have any real specific clues.
