Charles Manson’s corpse: Grandson wins battle for frozen remains of the cult leader

They all wanted the corpse.

For four months, while Charles Manson’s remains stayed on ice under a fake name in a California coroner’s officer, a local court heard arguments on behalf of at least four parties seeking the right to send off the notorious cult leader.

There was Michael Channels, who collects serial killer memorabilia.

Another claimant, a Los Angeles musician named Matthew Lentz, said he was fathered by Manson at a 1967 orgy.

And finally, came Manson’s grandson Jason Freeman, a former mixed-martial-arts fighter from Florida who recently appeared in a Facebook Live video alongside a puppet version of the murderer. “We’re going to do things as a family with Grandpa,” he said in the video as his young son dangled the puppet, which featured wild hair and a swastika on its forehead. “There’s nothing wrong with that … finally, I get to take him fishing. Finally.”

A 6 pack and I can thaw it out!

The only sane reason to want the remains would be to cremate them and disperse them down the sewer so no collector can idolize them.

Stick it in a wood chipper and point the "spout" at the pig trough.

I'll pay for the gas for the chipper.

Charlie maybe frozen but his soul is good and hot.

[Vaquero]

The whole hell thing is just not satisfying. “Render unto Caesar etc”. He needed torture and a painful death. He got 3 hots and a cot for near 50 years.

It’s not even good for snake food. Why would anyone want it?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

The grandson must be a weirdo too.

Kind of reminds me of something from "The Waltons." /s

Maybe grandson is hungry...

Thanks to the scumbag jerry brown.

[redfreedom]

I’ll loan the chipper

[DIRTYSECRET]

Maybe he wants to clone him.

[moovova]

I’m sure there are those out there that expect Charlie Manson to rise from the dead.

[Boogieman]

“We’re going to do things as a family with Grandpa,”

Sure, strap him to the roof of the old family truckster and take him on a road trip.

[fella]

Sounds like a cloning project.

Maybe he can be an attraction at a roadside park like a bearded lady, or Bonnie and Clyde’s car or something:...
