While some members of the political dynasty, the Kennedy family, support the proposed parole of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, his widow has come out firmly against Sirhan Sirhan’s release from prison.

“Bobby believed that we should work to ‘tame human savagery and calm the lives of the world,’” 93-year-old Ethel Kennedy said in a statement. “He wanted to end the war in Vietnam and bring people together to build a better, stronger country. More than anything, he wanted to be a good father and loving husband.”
