Such an agreement as this literary one taints the present defense with a financial interest in the popular 1 and even sensational, qualities of the case, and So involves potential injustice to the defendant. For example, might the manuscript of Kaiser 5 book bring more money to these lawyers if Sirhan behaves wildly, rather than calmly, in court? Might the manuscript bring more money to these lawyers if Sirhan is sentenced to death rather than to life imprisonment? This is a case in which Americans are anxious to see the most fastidious justice done . Yet, we have already witnessed what seems flagrant gabbling about the case outside the courtroom on the part of district attornies, and now defense attornies appear to be shabbibly engaged in profiting from the eventual sale of the case to the public.

I believe in it &nd all of its principals, especially in its justice for all. I know that justice is sometimes abused and misused, even here in the United States, especially in such issues a8; Viet the death of our late president John F Kennedy , and his brother Robert F Kennedy; where public opinion expressed in print or in public demonstration or otherwise i8 used as a weapon by those who would shape justice to fit their own mold. In the past decade, many defense lawyers have used public opinion unjustly. They say that because of strong public opinion their client cannot a fair trial. You can't throw the case out just because of this. If there is undeniable evidence that the defendent is guilty , he must pay for his crime. I am talking specifically &bout one case; the case of "TH PEOPLE VS IRHAN SIRHAN" He as you accused of the slaying of Robert F= Kennedy . Thus there is no dispute of his alleged guilt. {4 I think that it is every citizen' 8 right to kow juat what is going_ on in this case, 27 FEB 24 1970 FILE LMS; l.Gr 17, Sirs; Nam, cet 18, know, far, ================================================== Page 37 ================================================== Sirhan killed, not just a public figure, but a great huanitarian who could possibly have done the people of this nation a great service, had he been given the ckance . This makes it the right of every citizen to know just what is being done to justify such an act of violence . Some people believe that Sirhan S father' s threat of an uprise in the Arab people has scared the United Etates, but I don't believe this _ I have more faith in my country than that. But, I would like to know what is happening to bring forth justice, and everything about the case has been hushed up SO. Please forgive me if I seem anxious to hang a man. I'm not. I just don't like the thought of this incident reoccurring, because someone thinks that he can away with it because the last guy did_ I just want to see justice done . That prbably sounds old and but it's the truth. It used to be said that justice was for those who could afford it, I think it'8 about time we put justice back where it belongs; where our Forefathers meant it to be when founded our nation: a nation with "Liberty and JUS'TICE FOR ALL."

President I have previously written several letters abundant in criticism of your administration' 8 policies _ This is not a letter 0f condemnation , but a plea for mercy _ Mercy for one Sirhan Sirhan who was found guilty of first degree murder in California, a state where murder is punishable by death. Sirhan killed a great man, but I do not think that the murder of any person will be set right by the murder of another- Had Sirhan killed either you or Senator Eugene McCarthy while you were campaigning here , the most he could have gotten would have been life imprisonment_ But for some reason , unknown to me government has decided that assassination is more of a crime in California then it is here_ Put yourself in Sirhan' s place 8 a person who might very well become the next president 0f this country supports your enemy in a war against you, What choice have you? Since you are a little mentally un balanced to begin with, what choice have you? Ther is murder. And that is all Sirhan is a patriot, Patriotic to his own country, not ours , Are we to condemn a man to die because he is perhaps slightly chauvinistic? I know that, with your power, you can stay Sirhan' $ death sentence making it life imprisonment, instead_ An even better idea wouid be to turn him over to the Jordanians , but I rather imagine that that idea sounds rather unappealing to you. I unders tand _ I know that rage I felt, and the sorrow, when I first heard that Robert Kennedy had been shot . Ronald Reagan will not issue a reprieve Ronald Reagan is a reactionary- however and you are not, There is a greater chance that you will understand my plea Thank you.
