Long Beach Woman Tops Sirhan Defense Fund with $100
A Long Beach woman, name withheld, donates $100 to Sirhan B. Sirhan's defense fund, the largest pledge so far after an initial Australian $5. Sirhan’s attorney Russell Parsons says funds to date come from his office and a forthcoming book proceeds could aid the defense. Parsons reports threats and ongoing private monitoring as the trial nears. Letters to the sheriff’s office pour in for and against Sirhan, with the attorney allowing only complimentary notes for his client to read.
