Yes, Sirhan Sirhan, the man who conveniently "forgot" everything leading up to and including the shooting itself.

Strangely enough, years later his attorney's argued that he was framed. Even RFK's son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., believes that Sirhan Sirhan was framed and did not actually conspire to kill RFK. He actually wants Sirhan Sirhan released [0].

Multiple witnesses saw him approach RFK with a revolver and fire it three times at him. Nobody really denies that. What his son (and others) allege is that one of RFK's bodyguards used the assassination attempt as cover to actually assassinate him.

Point taken, however, that RFK's assassination is not an unquestioned case of a single deranged individual.
