U.S.: Will convicted RFK shooter Sirhan Sirhan get another day in court?

  • His lawyers say there’s evidence of a second gunman. There are conspiracy theories around the other Kennedy shooting, too, and the man who went to jail for that one could get a second chance to defend himself thanks to fresh evidence discovered by his defense lawyers. “The state suppressed, destroyed and withheld a great deal of evidence,” claims lawyer William F. Pepper, who personally knew Robert F. Kennedy in the 1960s. He worked with fellow lawyer Laurie D. Dusek on the case. Their take? A second gunman put Sirhan Sirhan up for the fall, believing he would be more likely to get convicted due to the fact he was Arab, and the second man used hypno-programming to keep Sirhan in check, essentially making him an unwilling participant in the assassination. Furthermore, they say that the convicted shooter’s gun never actually hit Kennedy. Sirhan’s attorneys say in court papers claim the state “refuses to acknowledge that hypno programming/mind control is not fiction but reality and has been used for years by the U.S. military, Central Intelligence Agency and other covert organizations.” source

U.S.: Bobby Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan to stay in jail

  • NO RFK’s assassin won’t be granted parole (again) source
  • » Why parole was prevented again: The parole board in the infamous case claims Sirhan Sirhan hasn’t shown an understanding of the “magnitude” of his crime. “At this hearing, you’re interrupting me time and time again, demonstrating a lack of control and impulsitivity,” California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner Mike Prizmich said to Sirhan.

U.S.: Nearly 43 years later, Sirhan Sirhan mounts a Manchurian defense

  • 6/4/68 Following a win in the California Democratic primary, Robert Kennedy was shot three times by Sirhan Sirhan, wounds that would kill him. Sirhan admitted to the shooting and claimed “twenty years of malice aforethought” went into the crime. He also claimed to have done it for his country, which suggests that Kennedy’s support for Israel likely played a role in the native Palestinian’s crime.
  • 3/2/11 A Sirhan lawyer, William F. Pepper, is taking a peculiar and pretty provocative case before the parole board, the 14th time Sirhan has appeared for parole since the shooting. Pepper plans to argue for both the possibility of a second gunman, and that Sirhan had been “hypno-programmed” into the murder. Moreover, Pepper claims he thinks he knows who did it, but declined to tell the press. source

U.S.: Sirhan Sirhan doesn’t remember remember shooting RFK RFK

  • There is no doubt he does not remember the critical events. He is not feigning it. It’s not an act. He does not remember it.
  • SIrhan Sirhan’s attorney William F. Pepper • Explaining that his client, who is up for parole Wednesday, does not remember shooting Robert Kennedy back in the ’60s. Pepper claims Sirhan (not telling you if that’s his first or last name) was “hypno-programmed” when he fired at the presidential candidate. All of this actually hurts Sirhan’s chances at parole, which require him to be able to show remorse for the crime … uh, that’s kinda tough when he claims he can’t even remember what he did. source
