On edit-I don't know why the link isn't working. The bottom line that's on CNN's website and the story is two lawyers have submitted documents that request Sirhan Sirhan be released and given a new trial because of new forensic evidence and procecurial misconduct at his trial.

1. Don't hold your breath Sirhan x 2.

In a U.S. District Court brief, Sirhan's lawyers also say that an expert analysis of recently uncovered evidence shows two guns were fired in the assassination and that Sirhan's revolver was not the gun that shot Kennedy.

Attorneys William F. Pepper and Laurie D. Dusek also allege that fraud was committed in Sirhan's 1969 trial when the court allowed a substitute bullet to be admitted as evidence for a real bullet removed from Kennedy's neck.

4. Gee, I thought hypno-programming was in the realm of conspiracy theory...

this could really break open the role of certain factions of the CIA in the death of at least one Kennedy:

"The attorneys further assert that Sirhan was hypno-programmed to be a diversion for the real assassin and allege that Sirhan would be easily blamed for the assassination because he is an Arab. Sirhan, 67, is a Christian Palestinian born in Jerusalem whose parents brought him and his siblings to America in the 1950s."
