Guess who’s joined the conservationists fighting to preserve the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where Robert Kennedy
was gunned down. According to Preservation
Online, it’s none other than Sirhan Shirhan. In a lawsuit to keep
the structure from being demolished to make way for a school, he claims that evidence
lodged in the hotel walls shows Kennedy was killed by bullets from more than one gun. Sirhan
Sirhan, you may recall, is serving a life sentence for shooting Kennedy to death in the hotel’s
pantry in 1968. Before the assassination, the Ambassador was most famous for its nightclub, the
Cocoanut Grove, which became an iconic celebrity hangout where the Academy Awards
were held during Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the ’30s and ’40s.
