Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian refugee who famously assassinated RFK in 1968, has long argued and so have his supporters that he has been rehabilitated in prison.
“After carefully reviewing the case, including records in the California State Archives, I have determined that Sirhan has not developed the accountability and insight required to support his safe release into the community,” Newsom wrote in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times.
Sirhan was originally convicted of gunning down RFK in the kitchen pantry of Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968.
