These were to lay groundwork for an eventual appeal and to try for a further postponement. Judge Walker noted that the trial had already been continued four...
Claiming that publicity of his troubles might adversely affect his client, Cooper attempted to get the Sirhan trial postponed until he cleared up his own case, but was overruled by Judge Walker. Cooper is expected to stay on as Sirhan's chief counsel, relegating his personal crisis to off-hours. Even so, it seemed unlikely that the trial could be concluded in less than two months...
