He had an eight-shot Iver Johnson revolver in a box. Sirhan came out on the porch and they made the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as Munir was concerned, it was no big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no idea it would have this kind of an outcome, no idea at all,” he says. “You start looking inward to see if you were part of the blame for this thing happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A weekday morning in June 1968: Munir got on the bus and went to work at Nash’s. He stepped into the employees lounge before clocking in. For him, at this point it was still just another workday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The TV was on loud and the room was full and usually it’s not that full unless it’s somebody’s birthday, and I’m thinking it’s too early to celebrate a birthday,” he recalls. “I walked over and put coins in the coffee machine and took a couple sips of my coffee and looked at the screen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he saw stunned him.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'None of us were politically inclined.

I said, 'Whoa!' Picture came on again and I said, ‘That’s my brother.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, within a matter of seconds, Munir’s day goes from another eight hours in housewares to the shock that his brother is being held for shooting Robert F. Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What went through his mind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought when this thing happened, they got the wrong guy,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munir borrowed his boss’s car, picked up his brother Adel from home and they headed for the Pasadena police station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officer didn’t seem too interested, so we walked away, and Adel happened to gaze at a newsstand and there it was, Sirhan’s picture on the front page,” says Munir. “So he grabbed the paper and went back to the desk sergeant, told him, 'This is my brother.' I remember the guy’s look. He said, ‘Oh!’ Then all hell broke loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police quickly camped out on Munir’s street -- and would remain for the next six months -- to protect the family, though Munir says there were never any acts of vengeance. Nevertheless, it turned the neighborhood upside down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is from a televised interview in front of the family house a few days later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Police Chief Redden said the Sirhan family has been most cooperative in the investigation. ‘We know very little.

I don't know. All I know is my leg hurts,’ and I think it was one of his thumbs that were hurting. He specifically said, ‘I don't remember what happened.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This lack of memory of the actual shooting of Kennedy is something that Sirhan has continued to maintain, though in a 1989 TV interview with David Frost he said his motivation to target Kennedy was the senator’s support of Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frost asked, “Why did Robert Kennedy, the friend of the downtrodden, become the focus of this hatred?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because to me he was my hero,\" Sirhan Sirhan responded. \"He was my champion. He was the protector and the defender of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged and I felt that I was one. And to have him say that he was going to send 50 Phantom jets to Israel to deliver nothing but death and destruction on my countrymen, that seemed as though it was a betrayal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munir says his brother never shared those feelings with him and that he never heard him express any negative feelings toward Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, no, no,” he emphasizes. “None of us were politically inclined. If you would’ve told me any of my brothers did anything like this, especially Sirhan, I’d call you the biggest liar in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the \"Manchurian Candidate\" theory, that Sirhan was acting under hypnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could explain his calm demeanor that witnesses remarked upon immediately after the shooting, and the notebook police later found in his bedroom with “RFK must die” scrawled repeatedly, something hypnotism advocates say was automatic writing done during a trance state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know this sounds like a cliché,” says Munir, “but he had played around with hypnotism and somewhere along the line he learned how to self-hypnotize himself, or somebody got into his head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the living room of the family house, there are glass-doored shelves filled with books. Stuck between yellowing copies of “Word Power Made Easy” and “How to Win Friends and Influence People” is an old hardback that belongs to Sirhan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a book here that deals with personality or something,” says Munir, leaning in to find the book. He plucks out a volume called \"The Laws of Mental Domination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked him about it one day but I never got any clear answers,” Munir says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hypnosis and brainwashing and conspiracies aside, forensic evidence states that the shot that killed Kennedy came from no more than three inches from the back of his head, where an armed, private security guard had drawn his weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eyewitnesses place Sirhan as never closer than a few feet away and approaching Kennedy from the front. An audio tape recorded that night surfaced in 2004. Experts say it reveals up to 13 shots fired. Sirhan’s gun held eight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This knowledge and its implications -- the possibility that a second gunman was responsible for Kennedy's murder -- are what Munir clings to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t there but the people that were, they all say that they heard more shots, Sirhan wasn’t close enough,” Munir says. “These are eyewitnesses, it was not us, the family, making these things up. When we heard those things it gave us a little bit of hope that maybe Sirhan didn’t do it, like we thought all along. It wasn’t Sirhan. Not my brother.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At moments like this, sitting in the still and quiet dining room as his cigarette burns slowly in the ashtray, you can feel the helpless frustration that’s weighed upon Munir for decades over a situation he didn’t ask for, but one he has accepted as best he can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673062\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/01-WP-RS31289_IMG_6004-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Sirhan family tape recorder purchased in the '60s.

Souvenir hunters sometimes root through the garbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the assassination, Munir says his neighbors were very supportive, and even in public his last name has never brought him trouble. No altercations, no curses, no nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he does get recognized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah, I had jobs that my name would be printed on my shirt,” he says. “I've never had anybody that held any animosity toward us at all. In fact, I didn’t like it, but a lot of people would say, ‘You’re famous,’ or go out of their way to help because of the notoriety and I’d tell them, ‘Please, I have my own individuality.’ That’s been going on for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his individuality is a buried and private thing.

To her, he’s just \"Manny.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love Manny. He's a really nice guy,” she says. “He's a great neighbor, and when we're gone he watches the house, when he's gone we'll watch his house, and just a few years ago he gave me his phone number. He’s let me in, a little bit at a time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the decades, she’s seen the odd tour bus cruise by, and Munir once cautioned her to move her trash bins away from his on pickup day. Souvenir hunters sometimes root through the garbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the assassination, Munir says his neighbors were very supportive, and even in public his last name has never brought him trouble. No altercations, no curses, no nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he does get recognized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah, I had jobs that my name would be printed on my shirt,” he says. “I've never had anybody that held any animosity toward us at all. In fact, I didn’t like it, but a lot of people would say, ‘You’re famous,’ or go out of their way to help because of the notoriety and I’d tell them, ‘Please, I have my own individuality.’ That’s been going on for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his individuality is a buried and private thing. Hang around with him for a while, and he seems like a regular guy. But a regular guy is a very hard thing to be when your brother was convicted of killing a Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the outside he’s friendly, he loves to talk,” offers Sloman, “I don't understand really what he's been going through, but to know that his last brother has been serving the last 50 years of his life in prison has got to be just horrible. Tearing him apart basically, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirhan is currently residing in his fifth California prison since 1968, the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving is hard for Munir these days given his failing vision, so it’s mostly phone calls and letters between him and Sirhan, and even those are random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they do come, he’s still talking to his big brother. The guy who used to look out for him so long ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“'Stop smoking, it’s bad for you,’” Munir says his brother tells him. “’It’s the number one killer in the United States. Take care of yourself ... I need you alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Munir marks time in the house, alone. Ask him what his days are like and he shrugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He talks to the lawyers when they need something, and spends his dwindling eyesight reading and rereading boxes of briefs and transcripts, still trying to make sense of everything that’s consumed him for 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He seems to take it all in stride, but every now and again, just for a moment, something else comes to the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have a life of your own at all,\" says Munir Sirhan. \"I’m lost, still am. Did he do it? Didn’t he do it? People were there that say this and people were there that say that. I wasn’t there. I have to rely on my brother, and he says ‘I don’t remember.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been generations since that night in 1968. Who was Sirhan? Who was Robert Kennedy, even?

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
