RFK Assassin Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole By California Governor
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-newsom-parole-sirhan-rfk_n_61391898e4b0dda4cbc9df58?California Gov. Gavin Newsom has denied parole to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) in 1968.
“Mr. Sirhan’s assassination of Senator Kennedy is among the most notorious crimes in American history,” the Democratic governor said in a statement Thursday. “After decades in prison, he has failed to address the deficiencies that led him to assassinate Senator Kennedy. Mr. Sirhan lacks the insight that would prevent him from making the same types of dangerous decisions he made in the past.”
In late August, the California parole board voted to release Sirhan, 77, who has been imprisoned for 53 years. But it was up to the governor to decide whether Sirhan would get out of prison. On Thursday, Newsom reversed the parole board’s decision.
