Kennedy Case To Be Reopened in Ballistics Review
Los Angeles Superior Court ordered new ballistics tests on the eight shot .22 pistol used in the 1968 Kennedy killing. The move aims to resolve doubts about a second gun theory raised in a suit by Paul Schrade, with the Lancaster County Board of Supervisors co‑plaintiff seeking release of a 10‑volume police report and all physical evidence. Sirhan B. Sirhan remains imprisoned for the crime. The judge gave parties until Sept. 11 to agree on a test method, else he will appoint experts to conduct the test.
