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.

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.

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.

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.
