Sirhan Sirhan Wiki – Sirhan Sirhan Biography

Sirhan Sirhan has served 53 years for the assassination of the New York senator, and brother of President John F Kennedy, who was running for the Democratic nomination for president in 1968 when he was shot down at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. after winning the California primaries.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón does not believe it is the job of a prosecutor to argue in favor of keeping prisoners behind bars, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The convicted killer of US Senator Robert F. Kennedy will seek parole for the 16th time on Friday, and for the first time, there will be no prosecutor arguing against his release.

“The role of a prosecutor and his access to information ends with sentencing,” Alex Bastian, Gascón’s special adviser, said in a statement Thursday. Sirhan’s new attorney, Angela Berry, told the Tribune that she will argue with the parole board that she should make her decision based on who her client is today rather than what happened in 1968.

“We cannot change the past, but he was not sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole,” he said. “To justify denying it based on the seriousness of the crime and the fact that it disenfranchised millions of Americans is to ignore the rehabilitation that has occurred and that rehabilitation is a more relevant indicator of whether a person remains a risk to society or no”.

Sirhan was initially sentenced to death for the murder, but the convict was changed to living in prison in 1972 when the California Supreme Court outlawed capital punishment.

A two-person panel will hear the argument on Friday and generally announce their decision on the same day. The Parole Board staff then have 90 days to review that decision before submitting it to the governor for consideration. In the past, Sirhan claimed to have no memory of the shooting and therefore cannot be held responsible for it.
