</s>who was present, that his father deny permits- sion. The court stressed that "there is no evil- dence that the (defendant) had any legal right to possession of the premises -- the trial court found that. [he] was a tenant 'in sufference' of his father with no control over the use of the Premises." Id, 1054. No court held, "His capacity as the owner of the legal interest in the property, a father can transfer to the police the limited right to enter and search the entire premises including that portion of the real property which has been designated by the parent for the useof his children."

**Search and Seizure**

The search and seizure of evidence related to the assassination of Senator Kennedy by Sirhan was valid under the consent given by Adel, Sirhan's brother. Any error in the search would be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt due to abundant other evidence of premeditation and deliberation.

**Grand Jury Indictment**

The decision to proceed against Sirhan by way of grand jury indictment rather than a preliminary hearing was not arbitrary or capricious and did not deny Sirhan his constitutional rights.

**Discrimination in Jury Selection**

Appellant complained of alleged discrimination against Mexican-Americans in the selection of the grand and petit jurors. However, with reference to the purported exclusion of Mexican-Americans, it is well settled that appellant may not found a claim of this nature upon the exclusion of minorities of which he is not a member.

The 1968 Grand Jury included two Negroes and one Arab, Mrs. Shalhoub, whose father was born in Syria and mother born in Lebanon. At the conclusion of the hearings on the foregoing issues, the trial court denied appellant's motion to quash, finding that the grand jurors and the petit jurors were selected in a constitutional manner.

**Witherspoon v. Illinois**

The exclusion of jurors opposed to capital punishment does not result in an unrepresentative jury on the issue of guilt (Witherspoon v. Illinois). The prospect of pending studies yielding views of human behavior that would change constitutional doctrines is remote (In Re Anderson).

**Investigations and Related Individuals**

No direct connection mentioned in this document related to John F. Kennedy, assassination, or investigations.
