Letters of appreciation in 1982 from the Governor of The State of California Board of Prison Terms for my affidavit refuting a well-paid psychiatrist who sought the release of the Palestinian terrorist murderer of Robert F. Kennedy (z’l) on the basis of challenging the false assertion that psychology is a predictive, basic science and the absurd assertion that Sirhan would not ever kill again and would “just blend in to Jordanian culture and not hurt anyone” if released. My scientific and common sense refutation of this hired gun (BIG money from Arab propagandist and apologist “Dr.” Mehdi) was used to reject the murderer’s release at a time when it was almost “politically correct” to free the assassin of one of the great Human Rights activists of our time and possible future President of The United States.
