The intro states, "Sirhan was convicted of murder and was serving a life sentence". He still is, he hasn't been released yet. And it's not certain he will. The governor has the final say.

While it may stink of a conspiracy theory, I think there should be a segment on the argument that people have that Sirhan Sirhan was a catspaw, and had been hypnotized into performing the assassination. Considering JFK has a portion on his conspiracy theories, so long as the referenecs are added (most of which I think I have squirrled away somewhere), I'd like to write a portion on RFK's —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.64.2.76 (talk) 17:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
For goodness sake, there is no logic in proposing 'hypnosis' as being relevant to this case. You may as well say 'Diana's Driver was hypnotized' 'Martin Luther was hypnotized to break up the catholic church' 'Saddam was hypnotized to attack Kuwait', and so on and so on. Unless there is some supporting evidence, and there is none, then such talk of hypnotism is just idle and petty. There is also not one shred of credible evidence that LBJ or the CIA had any 'involvement' at all in JFKs tragic murder. Johnwrd (talk) 15:35, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
The Rosicrucians do not hypnotise people. Nor is it an "occult organization". He may have shown signs of hypnosis, but there could be no connection.Royalcourtier (talk) 05:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
On the page for MKUltra it mentions the assassination of JFK and how Sirhans first attorney made arguments pertaining to the CIA's mind control program.
Also, Sirhan was evalutated and did in fact show signs of some form of psychosis or altered state of mind. This would also fit in with the fact that he later chose to recant his confession, saying he did not remember anything from the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.198.102 (talk) 15:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
On 21st October 2011, Channel Four aired a show in which Derren Brown, a notable British magician/hypnotist, successfully programs a member of the public to "assassinate" Stephen Fry, with total amnesia of the event afterwards. Throughout the program, Derren draws parallels to Sirhan Sirhan's assassination of Robert Kennedy, and heavily implies that he was programmed in a similar way by the CIA. I feel that this should at least be mentioned in this article. 95.152.216.203 (talk) 21:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
No it should not as there is no relevance other than his name being mentioned. I'm deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.192.104.25 (talk) 23:31, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand the reasoning for deleting this. If the program mentions parallels to Sirhan Sirhan why can't the facts speak for themselves? Here's what was removed:
I moved the "More support for hypnosis" and "Derren Brown's Assassin" chapters up here to help consolidate. (I don't usually reorganize talk pages and I haven't read not to yet.)
There's an article for Assassination of John F. Kennedy in popular culture so it's relevant to mention Derren Brown's Assassin episode available on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90xfZJQzAhc).[1]
Sirhan Sirhan may or may not have been a subject of MK Ultra but worth mentioning because, suspect in the conspiracy, the CIA and their program may have developed applicable tools of manipulation.
In RFK Must Die they stated that Sirhan Sirhan had brain damage from an accident, which makes some people more susceptible to manipulation by hypnosis, and as it turned out he was very hypnotizable.
By default, he would have no motive as a zombie puppet, which is worth mentioning. RFK stated that if president he would reopen his brother's case. "They" wouldn't allow that = motive.
It might be worth associating suspicious aspects of the Aurora shooting and the irregular James Holmes who may also be under some kind of mind manipulation. (ie. YouTube: "Brainwashed neuroscientist James Holmes - Aurora shooting" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHc1L1Rcpag )[2]
The Enyart Film mentioned on Talk:Robert F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories should also be included here.

SBS should never get parole, in fact he should only be allowed parole when RFK is given his life back!
Meself, I feel sorry for SBS, since he was obviously Manchurianed. According to the ballistic evidence, he killed.
Can we have sources for the ballistics claims, please? Police report? Sirhan's statements? Other? (UTC) Deputy District Attorney John Howard, who had interrogated Sirhan two hours after the crime and stayed with the case all along, opened up with this stunning testimony: “The gun was an eight-shot revolver and there were six casings inside, which indicated that there had been six bullets fireda total of eleven ) bullet holes were found to be in the walls and people Of course a single bullet can make multiple holes. The LAPD claimed to know how eight bullets did it all but then the DDA testified to six shells. Also note that coroner Noguchi refuses to say SBS killed RFK, because SBS was never close enough to leave powder burns and couldn't cause the wounds found from where he was. Somewhere there's mention that the intact slug from RFK didn't match SBS' gun and was never tested against the others in the room. Anyhow, it seems the LAPD was even worse handling RFK evidence than for OJS; check the handling of the door jamb that probably showed two more holes to account for
Oh yeah, there's Sprague, which IMO is a notch or two higher in credibility than Shannon: ‘The ballroom microphones, including ABC's, picked up the sound of only three shots above the crowd noise. Since Sirhan fired eight shots, or certainly more than three, and since Los Angeles police tests proved that Sirhan's gun could not be heard in the position of the microphones in the ballroom, the ABC film and soundtrack is important evidence of three other shots.’[1]
Evidence of additional bullets surfaced nearly immediately...an AP photo two police officers pointing at something in the center frame of the swinging doors that led into the pantry...Bugliosi identified the two officers as Sgt. Charles Wright and Sgt. Robert Rozzi were sure that what they observed was...a hole containing a bullet...[which] would have been the ninth bullet, since seven bullets had been recovered from victim wounds and the eighth was to have disappeared into the ceiling (necessary to account for acknowledged holes in the ceiling a Chicago Tribune article authored by Robert Weidrich [who] had evidently been in the pantry as the doorjamb was being removed the molding bore the scars of a crime-laboratory technician's probe as it had removed corroborating FBI evidence skipped]...There is no way to account for these holes using the existing victim wounds. Two bullet holes in the doorframe would make 10 bullets overall at a minimum...[Patrusky statement skipped]&rsquo
What's with that first external link given in this article, to the Pat Shannan site? The article is rather shoddy (I thought at first it had been penned by a non-native speaker fairly skilled in the language but not in our culture, since it refers to the "FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau)" and more than a couple of the connections are bordering on the ridiculous (George Wallace was stealing votes from Republicans and could've thrown the '72 election into the House? not to mention that the entire thing seems to beg the question on the assassination's very nation, namely in that it assumes there must have been a conspiracy and then sets out to prove it. Can anyone double-check this for me and agree/disagree on the article? If it really is that crappy, we should drop the link.
This page is insane. Not only does it give no creedence to the fact that Sirhan Sirhan may have ACTUALLY killed Bobby Kennedy, it also ended by telling people that he had escaped and run amok in Israel. Much to the chagrin of whoever was stupid enough to write that, other people in the world have the name Sirhan Sirhan. Now, here comes my problem. While I may not be a complete believer in the claim that he did kill Bobby Kennedy, could we please put some information as to why anyone would suspect such an innocent man of such a thing? I myself am having problems as the entire internet appears to be against the idea wholeheartedly. Alright. The page was better, but now it's been demolished again by conspiracy goons. Does anyone else notice that the page starts with an emphatic statment that Sirhan Sirhan killed Kennedy but then gives all evidence to the contrary? I've had a hard time finding material, so again I call out to you beautiful people to help fix this page.--TheGrza 04:44, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
Why is the word "unconstitutional" put in quotes in the text? The quotes should be dropped, IMHO, unless someone can come up with a very good reason to keep them.

Sirhan Sirhan is getting parole, after his death penalty was commuted years ago. He is another Middle-East nut who needed to never show up in the United States.
Teeter was not his lawyer for the first trial. Teeter became his lawyer while he was in prison, many years after the trial

Abstract :Los Angeles, California) Sirhan remembers nothing between pouring coffee for girl and being choked, after killing. Dr. Bernard Diamond hypnotized Sirhan. Sirhan had 4 drinks, took gun to hotel, walked through alcove and saw Senator Robert F. Kennedy's entourage come in kitchen. During trance acted out shooting. Diamond feels tale true. Defense says Sirhan acted under hypnotic trance induced by mirrors in hotel alcove. REPORTER: Jack Perkins Artist: Gene Widhoff

In several plane hijackings and terrorist incidents in the 1970's (and maybe early 1980s), one of the demands was the freeing of Sirhan Sirhan... this should probably be mentioned in the article. AnonMoos 14:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I've removed or reworked references to conspiracy theorists because calling someone a conspiracy theorist is tantamount to declaring their views false. I hope the more neutral wording is neutral enough to keep everybody happy.
I also tried to reference the website of Lawrence Teeter, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. So I have had to use a second-hand source for his arguments. However Teeter's words as published on that website do accord with the arguments on his own site as far as I can remember them. Ireneshusband 14:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
According to http://www.answers.com/topic/deaths-in-july-2005 , Lawrence Teeter died on July 31, 2005. This may explain the lack of a current website. Jobu 08:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

This is impossible, as there isn't absolutely any nine-shooter revolver in the world as the ammo drum cannot be made large enough for that in handgun format! In fact there are only two brands of eight-shooter revolvers in .22 caliber worldwide.
RFK was killed by his own bodyguard from behind and Sirhan was just a cover-up. All independent investigations to day came to this same conclusion. 82.131.210.162 08:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

At the time of assasination, Sirhan was CLEARLY NOT a Christian or a Disciple of Christ or any type of Christianity whether is was water down or truth congregation. THE LAST THING HE DID BEFORE ACTUAL ASSASINATION IS WENT BACK TO MIDDLE EAST AND CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH.PLEASE DO LOOK OR READ AT THIS AS A CHRISTIAN PERSON KILLING, THAT IS WHAT YAHOO AND GOOGLE AND CNN ARE REPORTING IN WHICH THAT IS NOT TRUE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.162.51 (talk) 15:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

According to the article, Sirhan Sirhan assassinated RFK for political reasons. Why is his religion relevant? Tpkatsa (talk) 20:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
i seem to remember reading somewhere that the assasination was a few days after kennedy suggested/asked/approved of sending modern of the time fighter planes to israel. so the assasination would go with his palestinian/arab views. anyone know? Wvfd14 (talk) 16:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
RFK had stated several times during his candidacy that he was in favor of selling 50 fighter jets to Israel, a point he restated a speech several days before the assassination and which was broadcast in the Los Angeles area at that time. CheshiresMasquerade (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
There are two politically motivated entries that shed no light on Sirhan's motives:
a. I could not trace the source of Jerry Cohen's supposed article in the June 6, 1968, LA Times where he states: "the crime with which he was charged was in essence another manifestation of the centuries-old hatred between Arab and Jew". This statement makes no sense with regards to Sirhan's motives and it is not sourced - or at least not accurately sourced.
b. M.T. Mehdi's statement that Sirhan acted in "justifiable self-defense" against the Phantom sale to Israel did not come from Mehdi's book because it is not included in the quoted excerpt. It seems to have been inferred by the person who contributed that entry. Besides, whether the act is justified or not in Mehdi's mind is irrelevant to Sirhan's motives.
"Sirhan Sirhan was most certainly an arab terrorist,[citation needed] inspired by radical islam,[citation needed] hatred of America/the West/Israel,[citation needed] and believed that RFK was unfriendly to pan-Arabic objectives (restoration of the Sultanate and Sharia law throughout the Middle East).[citation needed] Some journalists[citation needed] claim that Sirhan had long dealt with anger over Israel's creation in 1948. Sirhan supposedly believed he was deliberately betrayed by Kennedy's support for Israel in the June 1967 Six-Day War,[citation needed] which had begun exactly one year before the assassination. However, the "RFK must die" diary entries started before Kennedy's support of Israel became public knowledge.[citation needed] After his arrest, these journals and diaries were discovered. Most of the entries were incoherent and repetitive, though a single entry obsessed over a desire to kill Kennedy. When confronted with this entry, Sirhan couldn't deny writing them, but rather expressed bafflement.[citation needed]"
This statement should be removed. It says he was inspired by radical islam, yet the same article states he is a christian. Plus there are no source citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heatsketch (talk • contribs) 22:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I tore out an entire paragraph of uncited, badly written crap in the 'Prosecution' page. Come on, people. Wikipedia's a huge place - put a link in noting that there's a LOT of controversy about this and make an entire page out of it. Or better yet, use the Robert F. Kennedy Assassination page, which is what it's there for.

I believe this section would benefit from a POV check and have added the appropriate template. Goodnewsfortheinsane (talk) 17:22, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
However, a diary entry, reading "RFK must die," which was found after the assassination, was shown to have been written before Kennedy's support of Israel became public knowledge.
The Crime Library article on the assassination says that Sirhan Sirhan wrote about killing Kennedy two days before a particular documentary that talked about his support for Israel aired in LA. There is, however, absolutely no indication that his "support for Israel" was not public knowledge long before May 20, 1968, and that's a pretty absurd claim. john k (talk) 15:47, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Incredibly absurd, how is this allowed to stand? Kennedy's support for Israel was well known. Can someone please change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.173.150 (talk) 22:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Would be a good source for this article. [2] I'm rather surprised to see there is no mention of the the Manchurian Candidate thesis as one of the potential motives for the killing of RFK. There is a whole body of literature on the subject, and while some may claim WP:FRINGE, I think its rather more of a significant minority opinion that desrves inclusion per WP:NPOV. Are there any objections to beginning a section on this alternate explanation for Sirhan Sirhan's actions? Tiamuttalk 22:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Lawrence Teeter, attorney for convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan, believed Sirhan was under the influence of hypnosis when he fired his weapon at Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Teeter linked the CIA's MK-ULTRA program to mind control techniques that he claimed were used to control Sirhan.[1]

It seems the people v anderson case did not decide that the death penalty violated the US 8th, but rather the similar language of the Cali constitution "cruel or unusual punishment". The article thus appears to be incorrect, if the previous is correct. Additionally, the later supreme court (US) case reinstating the death penalty didn't address these concerns at all, meerly removing the additional federal burden under the eigth. The state constitutional issue was, rather, resolved after the cali constitution was amended such that death was excluded from consideration as cruel or unusual under state law. I believe this is correct and should be changed, though the ultimate effect is the same, the specifics currently seem wrong.--24.29.232.2 (talk) 11:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

In his testimony during his trial he, his mom and his brother describe being made refugees by being forced from their homes by jewish paramilitaries in 1948 in Jerusalem. In describing his life in Israel/Palestine he also recounts weekly bombings and having to pick up pieces of a man in a sheet following a bombing attack by the Israeli armed forces when he was eleven years old. He recounts how his mother would talk fondly of their old home they had been forced out of.

"Prior to 1992 he had been at the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad, California.[28][29]"
I haven't researched this myself, but are you sure you have the right facility? CTF is the minimum-security facility in Soledad. I used to work EMS there and responded there a lot. The security we went through to transport an inmate was minimal. I'm pretty sure you mean Salinas Valley State Prison, which is the Level 4 maximum security prison on the same campus. Probably should double-check that.

Why does it say "mortally wounded" not "assassinated" in the first sentence? I feel like "assasinate" is a bit more clear, but is there a reason not to use it? – Julia (talk) 00:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps because RFK didn't die until the following day, and therefore wasn't "assassinated" (yet) on June 5, so it's technically a more accurate choice of words. Logically, the same would be true of Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Anton Cermak and Huey Long, but not of John F. Kennedy, who was truly shot and assassinated on the same specific day. However, the other articles don't seem to be consistent. WHPratt (talk) 21:24, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Wondered why LA Coroner Naguchi's statements that the bullet that killed Robert Kennedy definitely did NOT come from Sirhan's gun were not included in the article.
