Calif. AG Says Sirhan Sirhan's Appeal Should Be Denied

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — California Attorney General Kamala Harris says Sirhan Sirhan should not win his latest appeal for freedom.

Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of assassinating presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

Last year, Sirhan's attorney appealed a judge's decision to deny parole, claiming evidence had been switched in his trial and new forensic details could exonerate him.

However, Harris says Sirhan has not proved his innocence.

So far, all of his appeals have been denied.
