Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan denied parole again

A California panel on Wednesday denied parole for Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, saying the 78-year-old prisoner still lacks insight into what caused him to shoot the senator and presidential candidate in 1968.

The hearing was held at the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California where he is incarcerated.

Sirhan’s lawyer Angela Berry disputed that, saying Sirhan has shown that awareness, and his psychiatrists have said for decades that he is unlikely to reoffend or be a danger to society.

Two years ago, a different California parole board had agreed with Berry, voting to release Sirhan, but Gov. Gavin Newson rejected the decision in 2022.

He should NEVER EVER get out! Period!!!

Kudos once again for Gov. Newsom for denying Sirhan the “chance of a lifetime” to see the light of day ever again. Justice have, and always will forevermore, prevail.

His notebook stated Sirhan's journal entry of May 18, 1968, read: "My determination to eliminate R.F.K. is becoming the more and more [sic] of an unshakable obsession...Kennedy must die before June 5th."

I am a fan of senator Kennedy, but Sirhan's bullet did not fatally wound Robert Kennedy. The fatal shot came from behind, and Sirhan was in front.

Newsome simply did not want his parole to be used against him in his presidential campaign.

I bet money this sirhan dude getting treated with the most respect. As long as you do what those people say.

[jamboys]

Don’t come out buddy stay in there you chose that life

[robertobrien]

He doesn’t deserve parole. He took arguably the greatest President we never had away from us.

[tyrese]

A life for a life. Period. End of story.

[theolisaacs]

He didn't shoot Robert Kennedy in the government knows that he was hypnotized

[joeybenoit]

Most people who leave a comment don't even know true story!! The family of Bobby Kennedy says they want sirhan sirhan out!!

[trawlins]

He doesn't deserve to ever breathe free air. When RFK can breathe again, Sirhan can get paroled.

[rogerrobinson]

Wonder if anyone is still alive that knows what his triggers are.

[upnorthvlogs]

I can’t believe nobody didn’t take care of this guy in prison for what he did

[hero_knightusp]

Just give the man a break. He served his time at this point and let him retire.

[anaelena]

He should be given parole and surveilled. See what we find out.

OOH come on!!!! How the hell does he pose a threat to public safety? Ridiculous!!!! That was so long ago. He is fine.
