(5,407 posts)sirhan sirhan is another matter .....
This past March, (2011) 42 years into his life prison sentence for assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Sirhan Sirhan stood in front of a parole board and repeated the same thing he had been saying at parole hearings for decades: that he had no memory of the shooting or his subsequent trial and confession of guilt. For the 14th time, his application was denied. Two weeks ago, Sirhan's attorneys filed the latest in a series of appeals that aim to get Sirhan back in front of a judge to correct what they call "an egregious miscarriage of justice."
Sirhan, they argued, had been hypnotized to carry out the crime.

(2,252 posts)the soap opera As The World Turns was interrupted by a special bulletin with Walter Cronkite giving us the sad news. Then they left the bulletin and went to a coffee commercial with a swinging pendulum, like the type they use to hypnotize people. That is one creepy coincidence.
