(previously stated in earlier parts of this report), and the fact that defendant Sirhan has had a lengthy series of attorneys and personalities involved in his defense, and the fact that this case has generated national attention causing a substantial number of exhibits and weapon, it cannot be ruled out that there has been unauthorized tampering with the exhibits.
