[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3628296, member: 44288"] Leave it to the liberal attorneys to screw it all up. [B][I]For the first time, the Los Angeles County district attorney did not appear at one of Sirhan’s parole hearings to argue in opposition. Newly elected prosecutor George Gascón issued a policy that his office would no longer participate in parole hearings. “The role of a prosecutor and their access to information ends at sentencing,” Gascon adviser Alex Bastian said, noting that parole boards are better suited to judge a prisoner’s time behind bars and likelihood of reoffending. “If someone is no longer a threat to public safety after having served more than 50 years in prison, then the parole board may recommend release based on an objective determination. Our office policies take these principles into account and as such, our prosecutors stay out of the parole board hearing process.” [/I][/B] [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/08/25/sirhan-parole-hearing/'][I][B]Sirhan Sirhan, convicted of Robert F.
