A California parole board in Coalinga on Wednesday rejected a parole request by the the man who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy.

Sirhan Sirhan has spent 42 years behind bars for the assassination in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel.

This was his 13th parole hearing. The parole board has repeatedly rejected Sirhan's appeals for release for failing to accept responsibility or show remorse for Kennedy's death.

Sirhan's attorney, William F. Pepper, told the Associated Press that his client had no memory of the events and suggested a second gunman was involved in the crime.

1. Good.
I may be opposed to the death penalty, but I do believe some crimes are not open to release/parole.

5. The world would be a much better place had this man never existed.
If RFK had been elected instead of Nixon, well one can imagine where we'd be as a nation versus where we are today.

6. If you even considering asking for parole, showing up and saying you
don't remember the crime probably won't get it done.
