LAPD apologizes to the Kennedy clan for putting Robert Kennedy’s items on display
March 4th, 2010 - 2:12 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Mar 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Los Angeles Police Department better known as LAPD, had displayed the shirt, tie and the jacket that Robert F. Kennedy was wearing when he was assassinated in 1968. These items were part of the evidence exhibit at a homicide investigators conference held at a casino in the sin city – Las Vegas. But apparently the exhibition of the death items of Robert F. Kennedy didn’t go down well with the Kennedy clan.
Subsequently LAPD had to withdraw all these items from the exhibition, and they also tendered an apology to the Kennedy family. The Police Chief Charlie Beck confirmed that the items were removed from the exhibition, immediately after a member of the Kennedy clan contacted him. The Police Chief Charlie Beck showed the sensitive side of LAPD, when he said that the Los Angeles Police Department doesn’t want to traumatize and cause agony to the family of a crime victim.
Sirhan Sirhan shot down Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1968.
