The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, site of Robert Kennedy's murder, is slated for demolition so a school can be built on the site. Assassin Sirhan Sirhan's lawyer, Lawrence Teeter, is suing to keep the hotel standing, claiming there's evidence there proving his client wasn't a lone gunman. From a Reuters report:
The suit said that bullet holes in the walls and ceiling where Kennedy was killed on June 5, 1968, prove that more than one gun was used to shoot the New York senator.
Teeter wants the hotel to remain standing so that an acoustical reenactment of the crime can take place. He argues that modern technology can prove how many shots were fired.
"Mr Teeter is looking for us to allow him to go into the hotel and reenact the shooting so that new acoustical tests can be made to determine if more than one gun was fired. But this would be 35 years after the event and years after his client admitted his guilt in court," (the School Board's attorney Kevin) Reed said.
