The man convicted of shooting dead Robert Kennedy in 1968 will not be released from prison, after Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom denied his request for parole. Sirhan Sirhan, now 77, has been behind bars for five decades despite doubts that he fired the shots
Sirhan Sirhan, now 77, has been behind bars for five decades -- despite doubts that he fired the shots that likely changed the course of US politics.
According to a statement released by the governor's office, Newsom based his decision on several factors, "including Mr. Sirhan's refusal to accept responsibility for his crime." Later, evidence emerged that as many as 13 shots were fired, yet Sirhan's gun could only hold eight bullets."I went there because I was curious and disturbed by what I had seen in the evidence," he told the Washington Post in 2018.He and his youngest brother, Douglas, supported Sirhan's most recent attempt at release.
