Sirhan Denied Parole for Eighth Time in 1968 Kennedy Killing
Sirhan Sirhan, 42, was denied parole for the eighth time at Soledad prison. The parole board called the 1968 murder of Sen Robert Kennedy an attack on the democratic system and ordered intensive psychiatric testing and therapy plus transfer to Vacaville State Medical Facility. The panel cited the crime as cruel and callous and noted Sirhan’s good prison behavior and a psychiatrist’s finding that he is rehabilitated with no current violent tendencies.
