The Sagan Standard, attributed to the astronomer and scientist, Carl Sagan, expresses a simple but profound axiom: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. By inference, the axiom also asserts that one’s belief in extraordinary claims should be guarded and tempered; or as David Hume, an eighteenth century Scottish philosopher, wrote in 1748: A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence. Expressed differently, as a prudent position or mental action: Be skeptical. Pertaining to the death of Marilyn Monroe, I cannot think of another claim that is more extraordinary than the claim made in Bombshell; and that extraordinary claim certainly deserves a healthy dose of skepticism or belief proportioned to the evidence presented.

Michael Rothmiller asserts that he was a member of the Los Angeles Police Department from 1972 until his resignation in 1983. I have no reason to disbelieve that assertion. Rothmiller also asserts, that from 1978 until his resignation, he was an active member of the OCID. Likewise, I have no reason to disbelieve that assertion, either. He additionally asserts that the OCID was a powerful and malevolent part of the LAPD, which itself was a powerful and malevolent collection of primarily dishonest and deceitful, even wicked men posing as policemen. Those policeman disregarded their spoken oath to protect and serve. Regarding those assertions, I also have no reason to disbelieve the former OCID detective. Ample additional evidence exists that supports the detective’s assertions regarding the illegal and often brutal behavior of some Los Angeles policeman and the OCID’s detectives.

According to Michael Rothmiller, he conducted an interview with Peter Lawford in a Los Angeles park after a chance encounter with the actor at the Playboy Mansion. Peter Lawford allegedly admitted to Rothmiller that Robert Kennedy poisoned Marilyn Monroe on August the 4th in 1962, sixty-one years ago. Lawford was present; the actor witnessed the murder; then he assisted the attorney general’s escape and actively participated thereafter in the cover-up that obfuscated the putative facts, concealed the crime. Thirty-nine years ago in 1984 on Christmas Eve, Peter Lawford relocated his residency into eternity; therefore, Rothmiller’s claim regarding Lawford’s testimony cannot be corroborated; and there is no evidence whatsoever that Robert Kennedy was in Los Angeles, California, on the day that Marilyn died. Additionally, there is no evidence whatsoever that Marilyn Monroe was poisoned.

On the other hand, there is plenty of scientific evidence which proves that Marilyn ingested, swallowed a large overdose of barbiturates and died as a result thereof. The toxicology tests performed during Marilyn’s autopsy indicated concentrations of pentobarbital in her blood and liver consistent with swallowing a large overdose. Likewise, there is plenty of testimonial evidence from first hand credible eyewitnesses, not to even mention ten family photographs, actual tangible evidence, proving that Robert Kennedy was in Gilroy, California, on the Saturday that Marilyn died. Not only was the Attorney General of the United States in Gilroy, according to extremely credible and verifiable testimony, he never left; and not one credible, firsthand eyewitness account has been offered to refute the credible first-hand testimony from persons who were actually with Robert Kennedy on Saturday, August the 4th in 1962.

So, what follows is the amount of actual tangible and verifiable evidence presented by Rotson which proves that Michael Rothmiller actually interviewed Peter Lawford in 1982 and that Robert Kennedy, while he was in Brentwood in Marilyn’s hacienda, poisoned the famous movie star two decades earlier: zip zero zilch and nada.
