Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin Sirhan Sirhan, 70, denied parole again.

Bobby was shot June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, after winning the California Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy died the next day.

Shocked onlookers wrestled Sirhan with a gun in his hand to the ground.

Writer George Plimpton, Rosey Grier, Pete Hammil  and 1960 Olympic gold medalist were among those who subdued the Palestinian after a lengthy struggle.

Sirhan was sentenced to death in 1969, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison after the death penalty was banned in California.

Housed in a state prison in San Diego Sirhan was denied parole for a 13th time in 2011.

Sirhan, now 70, failed to persuade a federal judge to set him free claiming he’s innocent after confessing back in 68.

Defense lawyers argued he had not been physically in position to fire the fatal shot killing Kennedy, and speculated a second shooter may have been responsible.

 U.S. District Judge Beverly Reid O'Connell in Los Angeles ruled that Sirhan “failed to meet the showing required for actual innocence”.
