RFK Assasination Legal Case Update by Russ Baker

[Peter Lemkin]

I only can say about Sirhan Sirhan that he is lucky to still be alive, and maybe claim his innocence. Lee Harvey Oswald was denied that choice. What a fabulous dedicated Justice system we have.

They only left him alive as they know he can't do anything but rot the rest of his innocent life in prison. I agree, that he has a snowball's chance in hell to be proven innocent - and the MAIN problem is the injustice system we have in America today. It is politically controlled; not impartial, and not following the laws. From the Corporate controlled Supremes down to the local Judges and many lawyers, prosecutors, and police investigators, et al. - with a few exceptions - most do the bidding of TPTB [and wouldn't have gotten or kept their jobs had they not!] - Justice, the evidence and laws [flawed as they might be] be damned. Sadly.

I don't want to digress to all of the legal battles I had to save my money and property when I was attacked in San Diego for researching JFK - but I saw it 'all'....they found Judges [though most there would do fine] who 'understood' that my political views called for a large dollop of injustice. My first lawyer after taking $40,000 to see the case through trial, quit on me three days before the year's build up to the trial! [with all my assets frozen!] and told me 'and I know you're too poor to sue me for malpractice!' The Judge refused a postponement. I was my own lawyer in that case. In another case, on the MAIN point of contention my piece of evidence to PROVE me correct and the allegations against me wrong were ruled inadmissible in Court [while the Judge angrily looked at his watch and mumbled he was going to be late for his golf game!]. When we appealed the loss of the case, I was told the transcripts had been lost and therefore could be no appeal. And on and on it went...and the cases had NOTHING to do with my research (on the surface), but all about it sub rosa and in fact! One Judge had it in for me because I refused to swear my oath to God and asked to swear my oath to tell the truth without the use of the word 'God' - so much for separation of Church and State. I could go on...but I lost ALL little trust I had in the 'Justice System' long ago in that series of farces they called Trials. More like the Trial in the book by Kafka! So, if little me, despite my education and good upbringing couldn't get a crumb of Justice, it is easy to see why most who are black, brown, poor, uneducated, marginalized by society, or targeted for conviction for a variety of political reasons can also get NO Justice in America. I did loose all my money, and all my physical property which had been held seized by the Marshall for two years I ONLY got because a black Sargent realized I was getting steamrolled and risked his job by slipping me the key and telling me what lock-up unit my things were in with the words "I didn't give you this, but have it back to me by noon tomorrow." [He had heard that I had been to MLKs March on Washington and active in the Civil Rights Movement, and saw what was happening to me.] I have him to thank for the ONLY small justice I got over two years of pure hell! Rant over.
