Should Sirhan Sirhan be paroled?

[Joey McGee]

Derren Brown apparently hypnotized a dude into committing a murder and forgetting about it in his new series which featured clips Sirhan and basically suggested it at least could have been done that way. For instance they used a gun range in the show etc.

On a related note: when is Yigal Amir supposed to walk?

 

[Noztradamus]

But not all. I say if he's still alive in 20 years, let him out then. 60 years sounds fair.

It sounds a bit harsh. Release him in 2015. He was sentenced to "life". In 1968 a 24 year old male could be expected to live to 70-71. So releasing him when he turns 71 is fair.

Actually life expectancy sentencing makes a lot of sense. It removes any age related unfairness. Every convicted murderer would have the same chance of completing their sentence and being released.

First he has to own up to the crime. Then we can discuss a release date.

Political killers have been paroled in the past. It all depends on who you kill, example John Patler.

No. I don't care if he remembers or not.

In earlier parole hearings, he claimed Robert Kennedy would have supported his parole.

Too bad he murdered about the best spokesman he could have ever had.

If he hadn't shot Robert Kennedy, he would be out by now.

I had to Google that name, but I wasn't surprised about the person it related to.

I hope there's no sour grapes there.

I'm anti death penalty, but believe that there are some crimes that causes one to forfeit their freedom for the rest of their life.

IMO, Sirhan Sirhan is exactly where he should be.
