Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole

Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole By Elton Camp This is a name that many won’t recall But for murder, none would know at all Robert Kennedy was a leading candidate When Sirhan Sirhan gave in to his hate With a crowd of supporters stood about He there shot the man with an evil shout To assassinate him, Sirhan did choose Because he stood in support of the Jews The name may sound like one of Islam, But from a “Christian” the shots had come Sirhan now claims he doesn’t recall a thing But the parole board for this didn’t spring

Louis, Some truly bizarre paroles have taken place. For example, the survivor of the "Trial of the Century," the Leopold and Loeb case, was eventually parolled. This was despite the firm agreement that neither of the two killers would ever be let out of prison. The other one was murdered in prison or he might have been released also. Elton

Annalise, He was a "Christian" AT THE TIME he shot Robert Kennedy. That was widely reported at the time, but with the wave of hatred of Islam, some have begun to identify him falsely as an adherent of that faith. Sirhan comes up for parole consideration again in five years. Elton
