Summary  
The documents detail legal proceedings and analyses related to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Adel Sirhan was convicted for the crime, with evidence including his prior purchase of a murder weapon six months before the assassination, statements to a trash collector about planning to "shoot" Kennedy, stalking activities in Oregon and Washington, visits to the Ambassador Hotel two days prior to the event, and inquiries about Kennedy’s route and security. Legal challenges focused on search and seizure procedures at Sirhan’s residence, where Mrs. Sirhan (his mother) provided consent for a search despite Adel not being the sole occupant. The validity of evidence obtained from trash was debated under California court precedents like *People v. Edwards* and *Berutko*. Additionally, appeals addressed jury selection processes in Los Angeles County, including claims of racial and socio-economic discrimination in grand and petit jury composition, with courts citing U.S. Supreme Court cases such as *Carter v. Jury Commission* and *Witherspoon v. Illinois* to justify procedures.
