S17E08: Basket Case | Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Part One

We’ve covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show’s run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there’s always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the back story of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let’s just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family’s effectively unlimited money and prestige.
