It was in the very nature of his injury that Paul found the thread that led him to the heart of a nagging truth: convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan could not have shot him from the front while simultaneously shooting Kennedy from behind.

Paul did not speculate on the possibility of a conspiracy in Senator Kennedy's death. He merely stated what he knew to be true: everything from the trajectories to the eyewitnesses to the number of bullets fired proclaimed the innocence of Sirhan.
