RFK Assassin Denied Parole

COALINGA (AP) —  A California parole board has denied parole for Robert F. Kennedy's convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan.

The decision came Wednesday after a hearing before a California parole board at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga.

The 66-year-old Sirhan says he doesn't remember shooting Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4, 1968.
