I was recently reading the dally newspaper when I came across a piece about Sirhan Bishara Sirhan the suinLtt assessinator of the late Robert Kennedy . This piece ~ami aroused me to write you this letter. I Just cannot under- stand how a person who kills a man with forty some oda people standing in the same room and another large number of People watching on television still be going to court I d0 understand that his lawyer has said he 1s guilty but now they are trying to decide whether or not he should be tried on first or second degree murder, If a person kills another he should not be tried for second degree murder and given fifty years and then let out in ten years on good behavior to kill another he should be given the death sentence then you will be sure he won' t kill another, About six months ag0 8 person was let out of Jackson State Prison after serving about five years out of a life imprisonment came to Detroit and murdered a police officer.

Kennedy was for the poor class of people Cn be - cause this man was from 3 poor clase 0 f people 2 50 it don' t make sense this guy shot J . F . Kennedy . What did Russia Eive or offer this man for his love for Russia? If the American ere asked , "Do you be lieve Oswald shot Kennedy just because he Was rich and Oswald poor" I believe you will not find the American people 80 gullible many assure there ' s more behind it and 1 am ore who is disappointed in the United States Government for finding out because We Jost another American leader , Robert 1 Kennedy , who died the same way a8 his brother J.F,K another guy who clains his love for Russia Robert F . Kennedy was not even president and this Surhan had no reasor to shoot him . How can this Surhan afford the best criminal lawyer when ne just worked at the race track ? What did Russia ever offer or give Surhan for ne too claimed his love for Russia?

By this I am talkirg about Comrander Bucher . This write-up in Everybody' 5 Say-So prompted me to te this letter. I have a pretty darn good idea how the corrunists works and by Commander Bucher' 6 appearance on television I have a pre tty darn idea what he went throuch Not only has he really been through it over there "What the heck 1s the Tnited States trying to do to him now . ARE THEY TRYING T0 DPIVF HIM OU? OF HTS MTND_ tor what? didn' t Eive him more ammunition?" I know how sneeky the comrunists works and I ' 0 sure that these more educated nen surely must know how more sneeky they work. .and I believe it is an oversioht on their nart rore thar Comnander Bucher. What were they 0 fTered or is their nesligence justi 5 fied fcr their oversitht o f amrunition or lack of assistance?
