California Gov. Gavin Newsom has denied parole for Sirhan Sirhan, the man convicted of assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, a source tells CNN's Jake Tapper.
The California Parole Board recommended release after Sirhan's 16th appearance before the board last August. Two members of the Kennedy family, sons Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Douglas Kennedy supported Sirhan's release. Other family members felt he should remain imprisoned.
Through the review process, Newsom has noted his penchant for Kennedy, telling reporters he keeps a framed photo of the former senator at the entrance of his office.
