LOS ANGELES — Sirhan Sirhan was again denied parole Wednesday, 55 years after he shot and killed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles.
The latest denial by a California board in San Diego came after Sirhan was found suitable for parole by a two-person parole panel in 2021 but that decision was reversed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times in January 2022, Newsom wrote that Sirhan, who fatally shot Kennedy and wounded five others at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, remained a threat to the public.
