re: William F. Pepper, Ed.D., J.D., SIRHAN SIRHAN PETITION


APPLICATION FOR AMICUS CURIE IN THE CASE OF SIRHAN SIRHAN FOR THE
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights AUGUST 5, 2017

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

After reading the GLOBAL RESEARCH article titled Sirhan Sirhan: A Reel Bad
Arab? The Alleged Killer of Robert F. Kennedy I have written the enclosed AMICUS
BRIEF in support of William F. Pepper's PETITION. I have authored similar AMICUS
BRIEFS in similar cases, most notably the following:

1. THE ACLU v. The National Security Agency, NSA Case No. 2006-cv-2095 in
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION
2. CASE NO. 215-CV-286-JLQ CIA TORTURE CASE v. CIA DOCTORS IN US
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON

I have also, as Pro Se MOVANT for the Nationally Acclaimed case of LISA
MICHELLE LAMBERT, as MOVANT in the U.S. District Court Case No. 14-02559 for
the United States Eastern District of Pennsylvania taken that case to the U.S.
Supreme Court in Case No. 16-2288. The case was denied in the January 6, 2017
CONFERENCE of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices.

In the matter of the the Esteban Santiago, Ft. Lauderdale Shooter case, in which
Estaban Santiago had made claims of being a victim of U. S. Sponsored Mind Control
to the FBI in the months prior to the shooting, I have proved Eric Cohen, the United
States Public Defender assigned to the case an extensive library of over 3 gigabytes
of research and my own testimonial evidence.

Please correspond in writing as to your handling of my AMICUS BRIEF, or if you


desire the BRIEF in another format. My resume is attached.

Thank You in advance for your considerations.

If you have any questions, please call at (717) 327-1566.

no Victor
On July 20, 2017, William F. Pepper, Ed.D., J.D., spoke at the National
EU to Become Global Balancer If It Gains Press Club about his previous days filing of a 200-page petition
Geopolitical Independence From the US regarding Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan, jailed since 1968, is , late New York
U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate. Organized by
Most Popular All Articles
Andrew Kreig, J.D., editor of the Justice Integrity Project, the well-
attended conference enabled Dr. Pepper to discuss his long-sought
evidentiary hearing.

As Sirhans lawyer for many years, Pepper conceded that the legal remedies for his client in the United
States have been exhaustedat both the State and federal levels. California, where Kennedy had been
murdered in a Los Angeles hotel kitchen, did not assure a fair trial. Essentially, ineffective assistance of
counsel got the accused wrongly convicted. Grant Cooper, his attorney, under threat of a sealed
felony indictment, did almost nothing to defend Sirhan. He failed to investigate the matter, obtain the
autopsy report, or examine ballistics tests. He spent most of the court proceedings arguing that Sirhan
was guilty and, that because of diminished capacity, should not be given the death penalty.

Sirhan also got no relief in the federal system, neither with with the U.S. District Court for the Central
District of California, nor with the extremely liberal and contrarian U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th
Circuit, nor with the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to review the case.

Now, Pepper is staking Sirhans chances on the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
(IACHR), an Organization of American States (OAS) body. His goal is either a new trial or an
evidentiary hearing. The filing alleges that the California and U.S. justice systems violated Sirhans
right to a fair trial, as required under the OAS Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man. By treaty,
the IACHR may review U.S. cases and those from 34 other nations when domestic remedies have
been exhausted.

Pepper, who had been a friend of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, is known for his
winning defense of Kings supposed murderer, James Earle Ray, during a 1993 mock trial on HBO. In
a celebrated wrongful death proceeding in 1999, Pepper obtained a symbolic award based on 10 years
of dogged pursuit of relevant evidence and witnesses. He is doing the same now with Sirhan.

Noting that the U.S. media is controlled, by high level businessmen, bankers, and other influential
figures who move in and out of government, such as John J. McCloy one-time U.S. High
Commissioner for Germany and member of the Warren Commission, Sirhans lawyer said that the
conclusive evidence reported as news was, in realty, extremely weak. There was never a hearing on
the facts, he commented. Such an investigation would have shown that Sirhan, the claimed criminal,
was nowhere near Kennedy when the shooting started. Thomas Noguchi, Los Angeles chief medical
examiner at the time, swore that Kennedy was struck by three shots fired within inches of his body,
from behind. Sirhan got off two shots at Kennedy from a six-foot distance, in front. Sirhan was
immediately tackled and pinned down while still pulling the trigger on his handgun. However, Sirhan
fired only eight shots total yet a carefully-examined sound recording heard thirteen rounds. Moreover,
the shots came from different directions.

Yet, the Los Angeles Police Department, Pepper revealed, failed to preserve the physical evidence
from the crime scene, such as ceiling tiles, doors, and door frames with bullets buried in them. The

cops excuse? There was no space in which to store them. Pepper went on to say that the Los Angeles
Global Research Publishers
police had long-standing and very close ties to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The suspicion is, Pepper remarked, that Sirhan appeared to fit the parameters of the infamous CIA
drug and consciousness-altering program, MK-ULTRA. (Its former director, Sid Gottlieb, destroyed
most of the operations records in 1973.) Dr. Daniel Brown, Harvard Medical School, spent nearly 70
hours examining Sirhan through hypnosis and questioning, concluding that the Palestinian Christian
had undergone a variety of procedures coupled with drugs to make him controllable. Notably, Pepper
said, this could have occurred while Sirhan had mysteriously disappeared for two weeks before the
assassination. Seen as a patsy, he was prepped as a distraction while the real murderer fired the
close-up shots killing Kennedy, Pepper continued. Sirhan had apparently had a handler, a woman in a
polka dot dress, the attorney remarked. She disappeared after she pinched the scapegoat on the neck,
apparently triggering Sirhans belief that he was really shooting at a paper, man-shaped target from a
firing range.

COMMENT. Despite Andrew Kreigs extensive and most vigorous efforts, only a few members of the
Click Here To Order Online press turned up at the conference: an intern from the Washington Times, a representative from Al-
Mayadeen TV, Beirut, along with a knowledgeable White House correspondent for an alternative news
site. This appeared to validate Dr. Peppers view of the heavily-managed American media. And it
bodes ill for what seems to be the attorneys goal in filing with the OASto generate enough adverse
publicity to force the United States to re-examine the questionable trial of Sirhan Sirhan. Indeed, a
casual search of the Internet turns up a number of references about conspiracies revolving around
the problematically convicted man.

Perhaps everyone involved in this matter should take a look at Dr. Jack Shaheens writings on Arabs,
notably Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies A People.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR FILING AMICUS CURIAE BRIEFS


IN STATE APPELLATE COURTS

Introduction
Amicus briefs have been a part of the United States legal system since the
nineteenth century.1 Numerous organizations, including government officials, private
attorneys, corporations, and nonprofits, file thousands of amicus briefs in all fields of
litigation each year. The articles of incorporation of the National Association of Counsel
for Children (NACC) include the filing of amicus briefs as one of its three purposes.2
Throughout the history of the organization, the NACC has filed amicus briefs in complex
litigation involving children, including filing a brief in the 1999 United States Supreme
Court case, Troxel v. Granville3, which dealt with grandparent/third party visitation
rights.
As amicus practice has grown, the role of the majority of these briefs has evolved
from theoretical neutrality to overt party advocacy. Recently, this shift has been the
target of judicial scrutiny in courts across the country. Justice Posners remarks in the
1997 case, Ryan v. Commodity Futures Trading Commission4, have sparked an ongoing
debate regarding the appropriate role of an amicus curiae. In this case, Justice Posner
rejected the brief of an amicus curiae stating, After 16 years of reading amicus curiae
briefs the vast majority of which have not assisted the judges, I have decided that it
would be good to scrutinize these motions in a more careful, fish-eyed, fashion. The vast
majority of amicus briefs are filed by allies of litigants and duplicate the arguments made
in the litigants briefs, in effect, merely extending the length of the litigants brief. Such
amicus briefs should not be allowed. They are an abuse."5
In the area of childrens law, there has been less judicial scrutiny. Yet, this does
not mean that amicus curiae should disregard the ruling of Posner or the views of his
supporters when writing an amicus brief in complex litigation involving the rights of
children. In fact, there appears to be an opportunity for amicus practice for children to set
a new precedent by remaining free from the criticism that plagues other interest groups.
This short summary is provided to help any party asked to participate in the
submission of an amicus brief in childrens litigation. It summarizes and highlights the
recommendations and cautions that have been made in case decisions, law review
articles, and social science journals over the past decade. The assertions made are based
only on the available written sources and not independent research. In an area of practice
that does not enjoy unlimited financial support, it is critical to make the limited number
of amicus briefs filed on behalf of children of a consistently high quality.
First, we list the appropriate roles of amicus curiae. This can help reduce the
chances that amici will file briefs when filing would not be helpful, or even might be
counter-productive. Second, we visit what commentators view as the most effective
strategy to follow once the decision to file an amicus brief has been reached. Third, we
list the specific techniques viewed by commentators as likely to achieve the best results

1
INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Page No. 10 of 29 Tuesday August 8, 2017
STAN J. CATERBONE, PRO SE AMICUS BRIEF

when writing amicus briefs. Fourth, the common pitfalls that plague amicus curiae are
outlined to help those in the field of childrens rights litigation avoid making mistakes
criticized in the past. Finally, we summarize the rules of amicus practice from all 50
states. A chart found as an Appendix provides particular information for each State.
However, it is important to note that these rules are the topic of debate and may have
been recently revised, so checking the rules provided is necessary.

Appropriate Roles of Amicus Curiae


Recent literature has identified numerous roles in which amicus curiae may be of
assistance to the court. Depending on the specific litigation, an amicus brief may focus
solely on one, or a combination of several, of the following identified roles.
First, it may be appropriate to use an amicus curiae brief to amplify or
supplement the main legal and factual arguments presented in a partys brief. The brief
can provide clarity for the court, in a manner similar to that of expert testimony, when the
issue is convoluted. It may also present relevant extra-record facts and data that help the
court make a more fully informed decision. In this type of brief, it is permissible, and
sometimes desirable, to present the facts and circumstances differently than the party.
However, filing this type of brief is only appropriate when page limitations prevent the
party from fully addressing the complex issues in their own brief. As discussed in the
Common Pitfalls to Avoid section, a brief that simply echoes a partys arguments is not
useful to the court.
Second, an amicus brief may focus on an alternative legal argument to the
argument provided in either partys main brief. This is particularly important if a party
is not putting its best legal foot forward.6 It is also good to use this format when the
parties have failed to address controlling or relevant precedent. In addition, this style of
brief is appropriate to argue points deemed too far reaching for emphasis by a party
intent on winning a particular case.7
Third, it is appropriate to use an amicus curiae brief can be used to apprise the
court of broad-based legal, social, and economic implications of a decision or point out
its unintended consequences for a group not before the court.8 This is an important role,
because it provides a voice to those persons who are not parties but who may be affected
by the decision.9 In many cases, it is useful for the court to understand how their
decision will affect children on a state or nationwide level. Typically, this type of brief
provides extra-record data, usually in the form of special science data, to support its
position.10
Fourth, an amicus brief may provide information that allows the court to base its
decision in the particular case on a larger, more comprehensive, and more accurate legal
framework. One way to do this is to use the amicus brief to inform the court of other
cases pending that will be influenced by the outcome and inform the court of variations
among the cases that may require refinement of the legal analysis.11 This style brief may
also urge the court to limit its rulings and provide a legal analysis illustrating why a
decision will be bad precedent for other similarly situated cases. Second, this style of
brief may provide a collection of historical and factual references that merit judicial
notice. If applicable, it is also appropriate for this type of brief to explain to the court
how the particular statute at issue fits within a larger statutory framework. The purpose

2
INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Page No. 11 of 29 Tuesday August 8, 2017
STAN J. CATERBONE, PRO SE AMICUS BRIEF

of this style of brief is to educate and inform the court of the larger legal landscape to
which the issue before it is a belongs.
Lastly, it is appropriate to use amicus curiae briefs to describe the intricacies of
the specialized field of child welfare to the court. Often, the author or authors of an
amicus brief may be more familiar with the issue being litigated than either of the parties.
It is important for the court to have access to this expertise. There are also cases in which
the amicus curiae may be in a better position than either of the parties to advocate for
their own unique point of view. For example, for the National Association of Counsel for
Children, this might well be all children in a particular category or class that have
interests that must be respected.
One implication for potential amici is to state, at the beginning, which of these
agendas describes the brief being filed. The brief should then adhere to the stated
agenda in concise form. For further elaboration, see subsequent section on Specific
Writing Techniques.

Effective Preparation Strategies


Once the decision to participate as an amici has been made, based on the
fulfillment of at least one of the above criteria, there are several important steps to take
before beginning to write the brief. The following guidelines apply specifically to cases
in which the amicus brief is being submitted as the result of a request made by counsel to
a party.
First, it is important to discuss with counsel if there will be other amici
participating on their behalf. If so, recent literature suggests working together to submit
fewer high quality briefs that do not repeat one another.12 Regarding the ethical
questions this suggestion may raise, one commentator states, At the Supreme Court
level, sophisticated parties and counsel often convene meetings of potential amici in an
attempt to form coalitions and to influence the nature of the presentations that will be
made. Potential amici, in turn, often contact counsel for the party they support,
recognizing that such party coordination can be beneficial. But there is little reason to
see this common practice as a form of abuse.13
Second, it is critical to clarify with counsel which type of brief they are asking
you to submit. Part of this process involves deciding which type is most likely to help the
party succeed. It also involves becoming informed of the partys main arguments. This
will allow the amicus curiae to assess whether the main argument is being presented in
the most persuasive manner possible. This step will be most productive if the focus
remains on communication, cooperation, and coordination.14 As a result of this process,
the amici should emerge with a clear picture of the role their brief will take and can now
begin to write.

Specific Writing Techniques


The most important advice to follow when writing an amicus brief is to make it
short, well written, and effective. A brief that is poorly written and rambles on does not
assist the court or help advance briefs position. In addition, recent literature encourages
writers of these briefs to make efforts to be dramatic, witty, attention getting, and
provocative in an effort to capture the courts attention.15 However, this type of advice
requires caution. According to commentators, no matter how exciting and innovative the

writing, the most important factor is still the relevance of the briefs content and its
trustworthiness.
The most effective method of persuading the court that the brief submitted fulfills
the above criteria is to rely on a combination of caselaw, reputable studies, academic
research, and news reports. It also increases the credibility of the amicus curiae if a
complete list of authors and financial supporters is provided in the first footnote of the
brief. In the Supreme Court of the United States and some state Supreme Courts this
footnote is required by the rules, but it is good practice for all amicus briefs to include
this information.
Lastly, many states require a statement of interest be included in an amicus brief.
A complete statement of interest includes five things. First, identify the amicus. Second,
if an organization is sponsoring the brief, include a description of when it was founded
and for what purpose. Also, include a brief description of the members of the
organization and its activities. If the organization has filed briefs in the past this should
be mentioned if it strengthens the statement of interest. Third, identify the interest of the
amicus in this particular litigation. Fourth, describe for the court the unique perspective
or information the amicus can provide. Fifth, explain to the court the impact of its
decision beyond the parties in the litigation that makes the amicuss participation
desirable.16

Common Pitfalls To Be Avoided


As amicus curiae practice has become more closely scrutinized, a few techniques
and practices have been the target of the most criticism. If informed, one can easily avoid
these mistakes.
First, no matter how many times a party asks you to submit a me-too brief that
simply repeats their argument and comments on the weight of the evidence, refuse.
Cases continue to appear in which motions to file amicus briefs are denied, because they
do not aid the court by supplying arguments that differ from those presented by a party.17
In 1990, the United States Supreme Court added a provision to its amicus brief rule that
states, An amicus brief which brings relevant matter to the attention of the court that has
not already been brought to its attention by the parties is of considerable help to the court.
An amicus brief which doe s not serve this purpose simply burdens the staff and facilities
of the court and its filing is not favored.18 Several states have formally included this
provision in their rules, and there is no literature that suggests that any states do not
support this position.
A second important trap to avoid is that of misrepresenting social science data to
support the briefs position. Common examples of this practice include: not following
research norms, over-generalizing limited data, selectively distorting findings, making
normative statements that appear to be empirical, and citing questionable research
produced specifically for litigation.19 In addition, ignoring social science data that goes
against the briefs position is also discouraged. These common practices reflect a shift
from an amicis role of neutrality and objectivity to misguided advocacy. This practice,
fueled by the desire to win, only leads to reduced credibility for the organization
submitting the brief and the author or authors.
A third important area in which mistakes can be costly involves failure to read
and follow state guidelines for writing and filing amicus briefs. Table 1: Amicus Rules

By State, found as an Appendix, supplies each states particular rules for filing and
content. However, checking the rules of the jurisdiction in which the brief is to be filed is
highly recommended, as these rules have been the subject of recent reform in many
states.

Summary of Rules of Amicus Practice


Since every State adopts its own rules regarding amicus practice, this summary
only highlights the key elements that exist in the rules of most States. The following
summarizes the key elements included in Table 1.
Many states require the Courts permission to file amicus briefs. However, some
states waive this requirement for government participants or amicus that obtain consent
from all parties before filing. In addition, many states allow the Court to request amicus
briefs. States also vary on whether the amicus must lodge the brief with the motion, if a
motion is required. If the brief does not need to be lodged with the motion, the time for
filing varies greatly between States. Many States also lay out the required contents of the
motion. If your state lists the required elements of a motion, failure to include these
provides a simple basis for denial.
States vary on whether they allow amici to participate in oral arguments. Some
States forbid it, while others allow oral arguments on a motion, while others allow the
amicus to share the time of the party whose position the brief supports. If your State has
any other unique or additional elements to their rules, a column titled other includes
this information.

Conclusion
Amicus curiae have enjoyed a long history of support in our legal system. There
is no reason to jeopardize their unique resources and opportunity for representation of
important legal and social interests. This is specifically important because changing
societal and cultural views related to children can be needed to help reach humane and
just decisions in complex litigation involving the rights of children. In an increasingly
burdened legal system, the importance of providing the most effective, concise, and
ethical amicus brief possible is critical to children whose lives are being litigated.
