Courtroom Tiger to Defend Sirhan in Kennedy Case
Russell E. Parsons, a veteran Los Angeles lawyer famed for defending underdogs, will defend Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, accused of assassinating Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Parsons may argue brain damage and will have a psychiatrist examine Sirhan. The 69-year-old defender, noted for the Cahan decision, has tried about 5,000 cases and works pro bono for this high profile defense.

Jordan Consul Visits Sirhan in Los Angeles Jail
Sirhan B. Sirhan asked for a jail interview with Jordanian Consul George Zraikat and the request was granted. Sheriff Peter Pitchess noted the meeting occurred with the defense attorney present and English as the language of the visit. The Jordanian government asked for an Arabic language visit from a Chicago consul, which was denied for security reasons. Sirhan’s injuries are healing, his appetite is good, and his food is prepared separately but unchanged in quality.
