Governor Newsom wrote an editorial in the LA Times stating his reasons for denying parole:

1. Good,

Life without parole is the appropriate sentence for him.

5. I agree to a point

2. The Kennedy family is mostly for him not being free..there were a couple thou

An interview done with a couple of Bobby Kennedy’s children stated they might feel differently if he had made some effort to say he was sorry, admit his guilt, but he continues to maintain his innocence

He can stay where he’s at!

4. I could read it and I don't subscribe.

You probably get a couple of free articles a month.

6. " ...if I did in fact do that"

Thats what Sirhan told the parole board. Newsome got it right.

7. I will never forget the loss of Bobby...

Very happy with this decision


“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

― Robert F. Kennedy

8. What a blow to our country

Bobby would have beaten Nixon, got us out of Viet Nam, continued Johnson's Great Society, fought for Civil Rights, and probably brought us Universal Healthcare.
We still have not recovered from this.

10. So true....

Bobby had momentum and could have gotten the nomination. I don't think Humphrey had it locked up. Humphrey was a very good man but a weak candidate. Losing RFK was a terrible blow to this nation and the murderer Sirhan should die in prison.

9. Good

He needs to stay right where he is.
