One of the very best essays ever written on the RFK case.

Questions:
Where is Part II?
Where are the footnotes?
Why isn't Lisa herself a member here?

Keep in mind that his lawyers didn't have the autopsy until well into the trial. The problem was that the media was so quick to try the guy in the press that his lawyers plead guilty in hopes of getting a lesser sentence. The "trial" was just to determine this sentence.

What interests me about Sirhan is that he arguably marked the first appearance of the anti-Moslem meme that reached its final form with the events, or pseudo-events, of 9/11. In some sense it also marked the transition from the decapitation of the left in America to the demonization of the (oil producing) Moslem world. There is also a parallel here with the use of the "defector" Lee Oswald to demonize the Russians.

I do not care WHEN the defense got the autopsy.

Quoting from Dr. Philip Melanson's "The Robert F Kennedy Assassination"
When Noguchi "testified that RFK was shot behind the right ear with the weapon as close as one inch away, the discrepancy slid by unexplored. In fact it was the defense that cut Noguchi's testimony short, contending that the Cororner did not have to get into the 'gory details' about the precise location of wounds and the angle and distance of firing"

Disgraceful.

Personally, I think this is just another case of everyone being so hypnotized by the media that they couldn't even imagine the possibility that anyone else was the murderer. Charles Fort spent 4 volumes describing how difficult it is to think outside of the collective paradigm. He pointed out that someone as talented as Lavoisier couldn't even imagine that rocks could actually fall from the sky.

James Lewis Wrote:Actually, Pease makes a case for both, as she sheds light on the connections that members of Sirhan's defense team, particularly Grant Cooper and Al Wirin, a notorious Warren Commission apologist, had with the U.S. government. She also raises serious questions about the defense team's investigators, particularly Michael McCowan, who had a shadowy past as an ex-LAPD officer and private investigator. Interesting reading, and the most complete argument yet for RFK's death being a conspiracy that involved the LAPD and elements of the government/CIA.

Ed: Lisa does not go on any forums, this has been her stance for years.
