Sacramento, California: Sirhan Sirhan, who killed President Robert F. Kennedy candidate in 1968, was rejected by Pilole Thursday by the Governor of California, who said the killer remained a threat to the public and was not responsible for American crime.

Kennedy, US Senator from New York, was shot at times after he claimed the victory at the Primary Democratic President of the Pivotal California. Five others were injured during the shooting at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, who has quoted RFK as his political hero, rejects recommendations from the panel of two commissioners of parole who say Sirhan, 77 must be released. The recommendation of the panel in August has divided the Kennedy family, with two RFK sons – Douglas Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – Supporting his release, and their brothers and sisters hard against him.

In his decision, Newscom said the murder was “among the most famous crimes in American history,” Besides causing Kennedy’s wife at that time and 10 children “suffered unmuned,” Newscom said, the murder “also caused a big loss to the American people Of course. “

It was “discussing the 1968 presidential election, leaving millions in the United States and surpassing the mourning his candidacy,” Newscom wrote. “Sir. Sirhan killed Senator Kennedy during the dark political murder season, only nine weeks after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and four and a half years after the murder of Senator Kennedy’s brother, President John F. Kennedy.”

He said Sirhan was still lacking insight, refusing to accept responsibility and fail to give up the violence carried out in his name. It adds “at risk currently inciting further political violence,” Newscom wrote.
In 1973, terrorists took 10 hostages at the embassy in Sudan, demanding the release of Sirhan and other detainees and killed three diplomats when their demands were not fulfilled, he said.

Sirhan, which will be scheduled for the hearing of new parole no later than 2023, will ask the judge to cancel the rejection of newsom, said Defense Lawyer Angela Berry.

“We fully hope that the judicial review of the governor’s decision will show that the governor is wrong,” he said.
The state law states that inmates should be cheated unless they pose a risk of unreasonable public safety, he said, adding that “not an iota of existing evidence to suggest Mr. Sirhan is still dangerous for the community.”

He said the conditional liberation process had been politicized, and newscom “chose to put aside its own experts (on the parole), ignore the law.”
