February 25, 1969 - Los Angeles, California: A small part of several pieces of copy introduced
in evidence 2/25 at the Sirhan B. Sirhan trial which is a reproduction of Sirhan's diary, was the
cause of a "blow up" by the defendant who shouted that he wanted to plead guilty. In the judges
chamber, Sirhan said, "I would rather plead guilty-than have people think I am getting a fair trial.
