Summary:  
The document details a Los Angeles County Grand Jury proceeding on June 7, 1968, regarding the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Testimony included evidence from a vehicle linked to Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, which contained two boxes of CCI .22 ammunition, two boxes of SX .22 ammunition, and a receipt dated June 1, 1968. A .22 revolver found in the car was analyzed by firearms expert DeWayne A. Wolfer, who confirmed through ballistics testing that the weapon fired the bullet recovered from Kennedy’s body. The vehicle was registered to Sirhan Sirhan, though this information was obtained prior to the search warrant. Separate court proceedings addressed the indictment process for Sirhan, noting that at least fourteen jurors were present during deliberations but did not vote to return an indictment. The court mandated secrecy of grand jury findings and restricted access to transcripts and exhibits to protect the defendant’s right to a fair trial. Security concerns led to rescheduling Sirhan’s arraignment to a temporary courtroom at Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail, with instructions for ACLU observer A.L. Wirin to notify the defendant’s family of the location.
