With the opening statements out of the way, the prosecution began calling witnesses to prove that Sirhan had killed the Senator. Two Ambassador Hotel employees identified the defendant as the assassin-a fact that is not disputed by the defense. A third, Busboy Juan Romero, when asked if anyone in court resembled the murderer, looked around and said, "No." When Sirhan was pointed out to him, Romero insisted, "No, sir. I don't believe that's him." Surprised, Sirhan leaned toward an aide, Michael McCowan, and asked, "What did he say?" McCowan replied, "He said it wasn...
...Fulton County gets its way, the defense will still have to do that explaining. The current prosecutor, William Malmgren, is Miller's original defender; though he has disqualified himself, his office still wants another trial.

Tried without counsel, he spent 91 months in jail, working off his 30-day sentence and $254 fine at $1 per day. Only Justice Hugo Black joined Stewart in holding that the case should be reviewed. But such acceptance requires the votes of four justices, and Stewart argued in vain that...
Born Restless. Born in 1912, the youngest of 15 children of a taciturn Kansas farmer, Parks began his search at 16, when his mother died and his family scattered. He worked as a busboy and a waiter, a piano player in a Minneapolis whorehouse and a janitor in a Chicago flophouse, a runner for a Harlem dope pusher, a dining-car waiter and a lumberjack for the Civilian Conservation Corps. He was so poor that he often slept on trolley cars, and he regularly raided trash barrels for discarded newspapers so that he could check the classifieds for jobs...
