FRESNO, California (AP) -- Robert F. Kennedy's killer is eligible for parole this week, and the decision could ultimately rest with Arnold Schwarzenegger, a potential conflict for the governor because he is married to the victim's niece.

Sirhan Sirhan shot Kennedy on June 5, 1968, minutes after the New York senator claimed victory in the California presidential primary election.

His parole hearing on Wednesday, the 13th since his conviction and first since Schwarzenegger's election in 2003, will be heard by two board members, one of whom was appointed by the current governor.-snip-
