The Kennedy family is divided after a California panel recommended that Robert Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, 77, be granted parole after nearly five decades in prison.
The Friday decision was followed by a statement signed by six of RFK's surviving children condemning the panel's decision.
'We are in disbelief that this man would be recommended for release,' the statement from the six siblings read. The siblings warn that they 'intend to challenge [the recommendation] every step of the way.'
It was signed by Joseph P. Kennedy II, Courtney Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Christopher G. Kennedy, Maxwell T. Kennedy and Rory Kennedy.
But two of RFK's children, Douglas Kennedy, 54, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 67, have supported Sirhan's parole.
Sirhan has attempted to be recommended for parole 15 times before Friday's recommendation. The decision will now move to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk.
