Defense Concentrates on Sirhan's Mentality

Defense attorneys for Sirhan B. Sirhan plan at least three more weeks of questioning psychiatric experts about his mental makeup in the Kennedy assassination trial. Dr. Martin Schorr testified Sirhan is psychotic paranoid with schizo phrenic tendencies, a Jekyll and Hyde personality, and unable to plan the slaying rationally on June 5, 1968. The defense argues Sirhan lacked intent to kill Kennedy, while the prosecution presses diminished capacity during cross examination, noting Sirhan’s full faculties at the time.
