Conspiracy!

[One of the UK's main TV channell's is running a new series looking at the major 'conspiacy theories' of today, so expect a lot of questions from 'yours truly' on all these hackneyed old chestnuts as they arise week by week] This weeks program [or recording actually] involved the much argued about
Death of Maralyn Monroe.
The program gave an account of Maralyn's final hours as per the official records [ie that she died, probably as a result of an overdose of sleeping tablets taken at around 10pm ish. The caretaker called her psychiatrist at around 3am because her light was still on. He came and in turn called the police who attended at around 4.30am. She was pronounced dead by the psychiatrist and removed to the county morgue and the following day [IIRC] an inquest said that she had died as a result of 'probable suicide'.
The program then went on to show that all of the people with the single exeptions of the psychiatrist and one of the attending secret service men disputed the facts of this account saying that there had been a positive throng of individuals coming and going [including Robert Kennedy] throughout the day and into the evening - and numbers of people actually claim to have seen the psychiatrist administer the injection to the heart that it is claimed killed Maralyn.
As presented by this program the murder of Maralyn by the powers that be of the day is a pretty open and shut case. These were not uncorroberated theories made by people speculating to make a quick buck from a book, but absolute denials of the veracity of the official account by the very people who were there at the actual time of the events; the policema who attended at 4.30 [who said the psychiatrist kept pointing to the 4 empty pill bottles and saying 'look - it's suicide, it's suicide', but who observed that in thirty years of police work he had never attended a suicide where someone had swallowed handfulls of pills with no glass of water to get them down] the lady housekeeper who saw the body being moved from the outside flat to the inside bedroom and who earlier had witnessed the suggestedly fatal injection being given, the pathologist who found no evidence of tablets in Maralyn's stomoch. Coupled with Maralyn's public outburst days earlier in a night-club where she had stated that she was going to go public and expose both the president and his brother as liars and adulterer's, these things make, it has to be said, a fairly compelling case.
Question. What do most Americans feel is the likely truth behind the claims that Maralyn was murdered on the instructions of the Kennedy's. Do most people take it as read, but [probably correctly] assume it will never be proven. Or do people not believe that the conspiracy theories are true and that this was just a case of a mentally unstable woman stepping over the edge in an act of self-destuction. Or indeed did the program hoodwink me. Was it designed to do so with a lot of spurious facts being strung together to make what appeared to be a watertight case where in fact none exists.

And be thereby as wise as Socrates! [nb Don't feel to bad about this Lorin; most people achieve that state long before they die - infact some never leave it
