Charles Manson Granted Parole
Corcoran, California – One of the most famous killers in the American prison system will be walking free. On Tuesday Charles Manson, who is now 79 years old, was granted parole by the California Board of Parole and authorized by California Governor Jerry Brown.
According to California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner John Peck, prison overcrowding forced the prison board to re-evaluate prisoners that are elderly or those with serious illnesses. In February a panel of federal judges ordered California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) two more years to reduce chronic prison overcrowding that has cost the state billions of dollars
The ruling, issued by three judges overseeing the state’s efforts to ease the overcrowding, gives California until February 2016 to achieve their goals. But, the judges said, the state has to make elderly inmates and those with serious illnesses eligible for parole immediately.
Manson, who was denied parole in April of 2012 and wasn’t scheduled for another parole hearing until 2027, was re-evaluated due to his age and health and the Parole Board recommended his parole.
“He is 79 years old and in poor health,” said Commissioner Peck. “We know it’s not going to be a popular decision but, considering our other options he’s the least threat.”
Protesters have already planned to picket the lawn outside of the prison in Corcoran but what is more surprising is the number of supporters that have come out to express joy over the news.
“It’s a great [expletive] day in America!” said Joe Goldsmith, who camped out in from of the prison Wednesday morning decked out in Manson gear with tattoos covering his face. “Manson is my idol”
While parole was granted, the actual release date has not yet been set.
Very well done, and too possible for California.
Yeah hoax.
Meetings are on the third Tuesday of the month & there’s no mention of it at May’s meeting

It is indeed a hoax.

Are you telling that even though I just saw this on the internet, it is not true?
Hoax
Actually I would say he’s a hell of lot safer to release that the 5 sc*mbags The One let go. And I heard he’s releasing 78 more.
No but this is not a hoax....

In this day and age I wouldn’t be surprised if they pardoned him, and then they followed him around shooting a reality show. Maybe he would bump into the Kardasians, or is it Kardashians... They seem alien to me either way.
Can you imagine the stupor he would be in if he was to be out in the new world.. other than the world in his head... He might fit in well in some leftist neighborhoods.
Would be fun to pass him a parole document and have him thinking he’s going to be freed then later pass another one saying ‘Just kidding’
well, she knows she has half a brain, and i guess knowing is half the battle...
Who did Manson ever kill?
He didn't go in the homes. He wasn't there.
Bugliosi (who recently wrote a book calling President Bush a "war criminal") came up with a conspiracy theory involving a race war and a Beatles album so he could put Manson as the "mastermind" behind a series of killings some of his followers participated in.
And weren't some of the Manson family released?
Yea I can’t figure it out either.
Lynette squeeky Fromme was released as well as that other chick that tried to do a hit on Ford. Yet Manson is still in?
That’s only a slight exaggeration. Won’t Bergdahl want to go back to his compatriots soon?
When I met Charlie, I thought he was as whacked out in person, as he appears on TV. He is not putting on an act. He really is THAT crazy.
I can believe it. I have met strange people and none of them were pretending, none as badly as Charlie of course.
When/where did you have this unfortunate pleasure?
At San Quentin.
