Summary  
The document outlines testimony from Grand Jury proceedings regarding the investigation into Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. Lieutenant Howard described evidence recovered from a car linked to the case, including a .22 caliber ammunition box, a Canadian one-dollar bill, and a receipt from Lock, Stock & Barrel in San Gabriel, California. The ammunition box was sent to the Crime Lab for latent print analysis and marked as Grand Jury Exhibit 6-G, with a separate receipt (Exhibit 6-H) detailing purchases of CCI and SX .22 ammunition. Sergeant Robert L. Calkins testified about receiving a .22 revolver from Raffer Johnson, which contained eight spent cartridge casings. The weapon was later submitted to the Crime Lab for testing and marked as Exhibit 7. Forensic expert DeWayne Wolfer detailed ballistics procedures, including comparing test-fired bullets (Exhibit 5-A) with evidence from Kennedy’s body to confirm the revolver (Exhibit 7) fired the bullet. Test shots from Exhibit 7 produced four spent slugs (Exhibit 5-B), analyzed for striation marks. The proceedings concluded with exhibits marked for potential jury use. A separate document details a 1968 Los Angeles County Superior Court proceeding involving Sirhan Bishara Sirhan’s indictment for RFK’s assassination. Grand jurors confirmed their presence during evidence presentation and deliberations, though not all voted to return the indictment. The court ordered secrecy regarding the indictment’s contents until arraignment, restricting disclosure by jurors, reporters, and transcribers. Security concerns led to a recess, relocating the arraignment to temporary facilities at Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail. A.L. Wirin of the ACLU observed proceedings and sent a telegram to Sirhan’s mother regarding the indictment and arraignment. The court emphasized confidentiality protocols to safeguard the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
