Jurors concluded Sirhan Bishara Sirhan acted with impaired mind but not enough to negate a first degree murder verdict and death sentence for the Kennedy assassination. Judge ruled the crime cold blooded and planned, weighing gravity and heinousness as key factors. Defense lawyer Grant Cooper planned to appeal the verdict and sentence. Sirhan, in court, paled but remained silent as Cooper described the defense. He later told Cooper that even Jesus Christ couldn’t have saved him.
