SIRHAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD ONE PAROLE HEARING, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXECUTED

U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy's assassin was granted parole Friday after two of RFK's sons spoke in favor of Sirhan Sirhan's release and prosecutors declined to argue he should be kept behind bars. 
 
The decision was a major victory for the 77-year-old prisoner, though it does not assure his release. 
 
The ruling by the two-person panel at Sirhans 16th parole hearing will be reviewed over the next 90 days by the California Parole Board´s staff. Then it will be sent to the governor, who will have 30 days to decide whether to grant it, reverse it or modify it. 
 
Douglas Kennedy, who was a toddler when his father was gunned down in 1968, said he was moved to tears by Sirhan´s remorse and he should be released if he´s not a threat to others. 'I'm overwhelmed just by being able to view Mr. Sirhan face to face,' he said.
