(Newser) – Update: Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s killer will remain in a California prison, ignoring a parole board’s recommendation. Newsom said Sirhan has yet to accept responsibility for the crime, Politico reports. Nor has he disclaimed violence, the governor’s statement said. « Sirhan lacks the insight that would prevent him from making the same types of dangerous decisions he made in the past, » he said. In an opinion piece Thursday in the Los Angeles Times, Newsom wrote, « Kennedy’s assassination not only changed the course of this nation and robbed the world of a promising young leader, it also left his 11 children without a father and his wife without a husband.
