California Governor Gavin Newsom
(Reuters) – California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday he has denied parole to Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian refugee serving life in prison for the assassination of U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
Newsom made the announcement after a California review board recommended in August that Sirhan be released from prison, subject to review by a legal board and the governor himself. He had already been denied parole 15 times.
Describing his decision in an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times, Newsom said he did not agree with the Board of Freedom Hearings Parole which found Sirhan, 77, suitable for parole.
“After carefully reviewing the case, including records in the California State Archives, I determined that Sirhan did not develop the responsibility and insight needed to support their safe release into the community,” Newsom wrote.
Sirhan was convicted of killing 42-year-old Kennedy in the kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Angeles on June 5, 1968.
The attack took place minutes after the senator and former US attorney general gave his victory speech in the California Democratic primary. Kennedy died the next day.
