John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian refugee, shot and killed Robert F. Kennedy, John's brother, on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles, California.

The trial of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan for the murder of Senator Robert F. Kennedy took place in April 1969, with the penalty phase concluding on April 23, 1969.

Sirhan was sentenced to death in the gas chamber and remained on San Quentin's death row until his eventual release.

The FBI investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, as well as the shooting of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

Witnesses testified during Sirhan's trial, including experts who provided psychiatric and psychological evaluations.

Sirhan's background and experiences were explored in court, revealing a traumatic life marked by displacement and loss due to the Zionist movement's expansion.

The Palestine problem was discussed, highlighting the complexities and emotions surrounding the issue, which had a profound impact on Sirhan's life and actions.

Witnesses recalled seeing an ad for a pro-Israel parade on Wilshire Boulevard, which sparked strong emotions in Sirhan, leading him to feel that American justice was unfair during the 1967 six-day war.

Sirhan became emotional when watching President Johnson's statement supporting Israel's territorial limits, and he felt that Ambassador Goldberg should die for his statements.
