RFK Assassin Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole By California Governor​

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.

Considering that out of all the big 1960s assassinations, the RFK one was on the shoogliest peg, that is awful. It's been proven there were more bullets found at the crime scene than Sirhan's gun could have held, and RFK died after being shot in the head from behind (Sirhan was in front of him). Just a terrible story all round.
