Sirhan Sirhan will once again appear before a parole board at a hearing at a federal prison in San Diego County to ask to be let out.
Nearly two years ago, a California parole board voted to free Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, but the decision was later overturned by the governor.
That's why she said she's also turning to the courts. The parole board hearing comes nearly six months after Berry asked a Los Angeles County judge to reverse Newsom's denial. The case is ongoing. "They found him suitable for release last time and nothing has changed," Berry said. "He's continued to show great behavior."In a 3 1/2-minute message played during a news conference held by Berry in September, Sirhan said he feels remorse every day for his actions. It was the first time Sirhan's voice had been heard publicly since a televised parole hearing in 2011, before California barred audio or visual recordings of such proceedings.
Sirhan originally was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life when the California Supreme Court briefly outlawed capital punishment in 1972.Sirhan's younger brother, Munir Sirhan, has said his brother can live with him in Pasadena, California, if he is paroled. Sirhan Sirhan has waived his right to fight deportation to his native Jordan.
