Grant Cooper, Sirhan's first attorney, conceded to Sirhan's guilt.
He didn't use the prodigious forensic evidence or witness testimony
that would have cleared Sirhan (discussed in more detail below). He
announced he was ready for trial after only 30 days, which Teeter
describes as "preposterous" for any lawyer genuinely concerned with
protecting his client's interests in a case that would result in the
death penalty if his defense was inadequate.

His defense was inadequate. Several prominent Hollywood lawyers were compromised
in an entrapment effort involving stolen federal grand jury transcripts, including
Cooper. The press and prosecutors made a big deal out of it, and Cooper was thus
leveraged to cooperate with the prosecution, in exchange for leniency, while other
prominent Los Angeles attorneys would be complicit or remain silent

Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi proved that the bullets hit RFK
from behind him and at an upward angle. The first shot was the fatal one and
was fired at just three inches away from the back of his head. All witnesses confirm
that Sirhan was in front of Kennedy at all times, and was firing at a horizontal trajectory.
 The witnesses claim Sirhan was approximately three feet in front of the Senator
at their nearest proximity.

True prime suspect, Thane Eugene Cesar, acting as a security guard, admits
that he was behind Kennedy kneeling with his gun drawn. Cesar's gun was not
examined by the LAPD to determine if it had been fired that day.

Cesar was a supporter of segregationist Governor George Wallace, foresaw a
racist civil war, and despised the Kennedys. He was an employee of Lockheed
which would gain lucrative military contracts if the Vietnam War would continue.

The LAPD cooperated with the conspiracy by incinerating 2410 photographs taken
of the murder scene. They also destroyed other physical evidence that together
would prove that there were a minimum of ten shots fired in the pantry on June
5th, 1968 (the day of the assassination after the Senator's victory at the
California Presidential Primary). There were only eight bullets in Sirhan's gun.

Sirhan was a remarkably good subject for hypnosis. His examiners were unanimous
in the claim that he was subjected to previous programming. They  were unable to
unlock the hypno-psychological mechanisms that concealed what happened on the day
of the assassination. To this day, Sirhan claims that a girl said to him, "Could
you pour me a cup of coffee with a lot of cream and a lot of sugar?" The next
thing he remembers is being strangled in the Ambassador Hotel pantry where RFK
lay dying from gunshot wounds.
