Robert F. Kennedy's assassin is denied parole

Robert F. Kennedy's assassin is denied parole
Sirhan Sirhan

Sirhan Sirhan has been denied parole again, 55 years after he shot and killed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles.

The latest denial by a California court in San Diego came after Sirhan was found eligible for parole by a two-person panel in 2021, but that decision was overturned by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

In an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times in January 2022, Newsom wrote that Sirhan, who shot and killed Kennedy and wounded five others at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, remained a threat to the public.

Sirhan remains incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Institution in San Diego.

Sirhan's attorney, Angela Berry, said Wednesday's denial by the two-person parole board was influenced by Newsom's staunch opposition to the 78-year-old's release.

"The decision suggests that they bowed to the governor's political whims," ​​Berry said in an interview with "The Times."

"It didn't go as planned," Berry said.

At Wednesday's hearing, several people spoke out against Sirhan's release, including members of the Kennedy family and her lawyer. We did not have Paul Schrade present this year. He was the last surviving victim who was in favor of parole," she emphasized.

Sirhan was arrested in the country after the assassination of the US president's brother on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles. Robert Kennedy was on the verge of running for president of America in the elections within the Democratic Party. His assassination, along with that of Martin Luther King Jr. two months ago, created a turning point in American history.

His assassination was carried out 6 years after that of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. Former American Marine Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with his elimination, who was killed two days later by Jack Ruby. The events started a spiral of conspiracy theories that continue to this day.

Sirhan's lawyers stated at the time that he may have been under hypnosis when he committed the murder, serving merely as a tool in an even larger conspiracy.
