Summary: The document details legal proceedings from the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, concerning the prosecution of Sirhan B. Sirhan for the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. It outlines discovery motions filed by the defense during Sirhan’s trial (1966–1968), requesting access to evidence and witness materials. The prosecution compiled 450 witness files from FBI reports, police records, and internal investigations, which were provided under court orders granting limited defense access. Requests included statements from witnesses, medical reports, photographs, and information about Sirhan’s activities around the time of the assassination. The document also references fragmented legal records linked to case No. A-2331121, with declassification markings (E.O. 14176/14178) and some garbled text. A separate list of names includes medical professionals, real estate agents, and individuals associated with legal or governmental roles, though no direct connection to the RFK assassination is established in this section.
