Sirhan Sirhan, the man convicted of assassinating Robert F. Kennedy, was granted parole on Friday. Kennedy was fatally shot by Sirhan in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel the night he won California’s Democratic presidential primary. Sirhan was previously denied parole in 2016, but on Friday a California parole board panel voted in favor of it. One key factor in this parole hearing was two of Kennedy’s sons speaking in favor of his release.
