===Possibility of parole=== On August 27, 2021, in his 16th appearance before the parole board, Sirhan was recommended for parole. He has served 53 years in jail. Two of Kennedy's surviving sons, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Douglas Kennedy, offered their support for parole during Sirhan's appearance before the parole board. The decision is subject to a 90-day review by the California Board of Parole Hearings after which Governor Gavin Newsom, has 30 days to grant, reverse, or modify the decision. Six other surviving children of Robert F. Kennedy urged the full parole board or Newsom to reverse the decision. "It is a recommendation we intend to challenge every step of the way", they said. They filed a statement with the parole board on August 27, 2021. Neither Los Angeles attorney general George Gascón nor any staff of his office appeared or spoke for the prosecution, the first time no one from the prosecution appeared in the 16 parole hearings, which is Gascón’s policy as to parole hearings. The next step in the parole process is review "by the legal division of the Board of Parole Hearings, a process that can take up to about four months. If the lawyers find an error, they can send the case to the full slate of commissioners to review." If there is no reason to send the decision to the full board of commissioners, then it goes to the governor, who has 30 days to review it. Should he be paroled, Sirhan plans to live with his only surviving brother, Munir Sirhan, in Los Angeles, according to his parole filing.
