Sirhan Sirhan may be released tomorrow

[Mark A. Oblazney]

Sirhan is in prison.  He needs to appear to be sympathetic to ever get out.  He is not going to tell the truth and say that he is an anti-Semitic terrorist who targeted RFK for assassination due to his support of Israel.  He is trying to get out.  Not add time to his sentence.  This is a trick as old as the hills.  Prisoners claim to get religion, can't remember what happened, were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  It's a way to deflect responsibility for the underlying criminal act.

At least Newsom did one thing right:

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom denied parole Thursday for Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan."

Apparently Newsome is okay with paroling murderers of disabled people...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has allowed the parole release of a killer who served four decades in prison for the murder of a developmentally disabled man who was buried alive

but thinks a 77 year old man is too dangerous to be paroled.

His decision on Sirhan was obviously influenced by his political ambitions, not legit concerns about Sirhan.

Hopefully the CA courts over-rule Newsome's decision...

Is there link to that?
I would have thought that a parole board decides this [though...usually the governor can grant a pardon to someone if so inclined--or paid off]

[Jerry Freeman]

This is simple.   There is no credible evidence of a conspiracy in the JFK and RFK assassinations.  Thus, no conspiracy.   It's the evidence that governs the conclusion.

That is simple huh? Maybe to a Bugliosist. Regarding the JFK case...In Dallas, the conclusion cart came before the horse. Then the FBI put two horses behind the cart to push it along. Then the Commission put another horse in there to push the other two horses...to add to their struggle, the HSCA added an additional horse to the side of the cart and so on
In the RFK case I am also skeptical of the L. A. police who didn't protect him.

FWIW, Vincent Bugliosi, former LA Prosecutor, said he saw evidence of conspiracy in RFK's assassination. The contrast between his views on RFK vs JFK assassinations seemed odd but I will admit that there seems to be more solid evidence of conspiracy in the RFK case.

"Vincent Bugliosi, prosecutor in the Charles Manson murder trials and author of the Manson cult expose, "Helter Skelter," told an audience at the University of Tulsa there is "conclusive evidence" to indicate that more than one gunman was involved in the assassination of Robert Kennedy."
