And as I promised, here is a brief snippet for your review and enjoyment. One thing be aware I am not an expert on legal matters so if anyone reading this is please any advice will be appreciated.
The Attorney General’s Office; 3:00 p.m. EST:
Later in the day the door to Robert Kennedy’s office opened slightly and a stick with a hat was cautiously thrust in. Kennedy chuckled and said, “Come in Edwin,” As his aide Edwin Guthman entered, he said, “I wanted to be sure I wouldn’t be the target of any blunt objects thrown my direction, given how angry I heard you were this morning.”
“Sit down,” Kennedy gestured to one of the chairs.
“I’m still mad as hell, but at least there’s a bright side here. The agents at the Cellars the night before the assassination were not up front during the shooting incident on Air Force One. However, that doesn’t mean they are off the hook. They will be standing trial with the other agents.”
“So, what have you got for me now?” Asked Kennedy.
“The Defense in the DPD case has filed a countermotion to the Dallas Attorney General’s motion that the trial be moved out of Dallas. They contend the purpose of our moving the trial is so that we can choose a biased jury.”
“Like a jury in Dallas won’t be biased on the side of the defense?” Kennedy said sighing.
After a moment he said, “Edwin, let the Dallas AG office know, I want those trials to start soon. If that means, we must go with Dallas as the trial location so be it. I’ll risk a potentially biased jury. I would rather have that then have both sides drag this out. The sooner we can get these trials taken care of the better it will be for all involved.”
Edwin nodded, then Kennedy asked, “Anything new on Daniel Bradley?”
“Yes sir, there is,” said Edwin. “Mr. Hoover called me earlier to say they got a substantial lead that Mr. Bradley may have been seen at a Howard Johnson’s in Cincinnati, Ohio two days ago. Apparently, his fondness for that particular restaurant may be helpful in tracking him down.”
“I hope so Edwin,” Kennedy replied. He is the key to figuring out what really happened on Air Force One. He can provide answers we and the country need.”
