California state officials denied parole for convicted killer of ROBERT F.KENNEDY saying SIRHAN SIRHAN shows "no remorse" in the 1968 slaying of he Presidential hopeful.
Sirhan told officials at a parole hearing that he couldn’t remember what happened on June 5, 1968 the night Booby lay dying in a pool of his own blood after being pumped with bullets in the crowded kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
"I don’t remember pulling a gun from my body. I don’t remember aiming it at any human being. Everything was always hazy in my head," Sirhan, 66, claimed.
"I don’t remember anything very clearly….I’m not trying to evade anything."
Sirhan said he underwent hypnosis at his lawyer’s behest but still did not remember shooting Kennedy or five other victims where Kennedy stood after claiming victory in the California presidential primary.
Parole panel chairman, Mike Prizmich, and deputy commissioner, Randy Kevorkian, advised the convicted assassin he must come to terms with his actions.
"The magnitude of this crime is one that a nation mourned over, and from that day on, politicians changed the way they interacted with people," Prizmich said.
He said the Kennedy family, which had endured another tragedy five years before with the killing of President John F. Kennedy, was wrought with more tragedy.
Sirhan interjected, "That’s not my responsibility."
The commissioner cut him off.
"In this way, interrupting me indicates a lack of control of yourself," he said.
Sirhan is eligible for another parole hearing in 2016.
He stands about as much chance of ever getting out as Charles Manson and Mark David Chapman.
