After 11 failed bids for freedom, notorious killer Charles Manson, now 77, is up for parole later this month.
The parole board rejected his bid in 2007, saying Manson [For the record, 9:42 a.m. April 5: An earlier version of this post incorrectly gave the killer's last name as Mason.] "continues to pose an unreasonable danger to others and may still bring harm to anyone he would come in contact with."
Manson refused to participate in that hearing, describing himself as a "prisoner of the political system." He also declined to participate in any psychological evaluations in 2007.
"He refused to cooperate, so the conclusion they drew from the reports is he still remains a danger to the public," Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Patrick Sequeira said at the time. "He was convicted of nine horrible murders. He has expressed no remorse or empathy for any of the victims."
A new photo released by state prison system shows Manson with long, gray hair and a beard. It was released at the request of CNN in advance of next Wednesday's parole hearing.
Manson and other members of his so-called family were convicted of killing actress Sharon Tate and six other people during a bloody rampage in the Los Angeles area during two August nights in 1969. Prosecutors said that Manson and his followers were trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesized in the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, was 8 1/2 months pregnant when she was killed at her hilltop home in Benedict Canyon on Aug. 9, 1969. Besides Tate, four others were stabbed and shot to death including Jay Sebring, 35; Voytek Frykowski, 32; Abigail Folger, 25, a coffee heiress; and Steven Parent, 18, a friend of Tate's caretaker.

California is a rather nutty place - but, I don’t think so. Check back in about 60 years.
Lessee how alluring you are to the cute young yippies now, Chuck.
It’s not going to happen, but maybe he’ll put on a show for us. The big mystery about Manson is how did he get those kids to kill for him?
Let Charlie out. . . . .
It’s not to late for Gov. Moonbeam to pardon him.
The only way this kook will get out of prison is in a coffin.
It’s too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
But it’s too soon
To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb
So I think it’s time that you all start
To think about gettin’ by
But what about that need to go out and find somebody to love
It’s too late
There’s no one left that I even wanna imitate
You see, you just don’t know
I’m here to give you my heart
And you want some fashion show
But it ain’t no contribution
To go and rely on an institution
To validate your chosen art
And sanction your boredom
And let you play out your part
It’s too late
You know when they got nothin’ to give
They only part their legs for what’s negative
And they’re so decadent . . .
Until their daddy’s money from home’s all spent
So I think it’s time, ‘cuz it’s too easy
To rely on worshipping strangers and devils in bed,
Though they do get good drugs, and they do give good head
It’s too late
You shoulda realized I was worth the wait
Ah, but you didn’t hesitate
When she took you off, you let her seal our fate
So I think it’s time
that you all start
To think about gettin’ by
Without that need to go out and find
Somebody to love
Same way Obama got people to vote for him. They were looking for a charismatic leader and they found him.
Jim Jones had that same thing. It never turns out well when people allow their minds to be controlled by another.
Parole Manson to Satans Hell!
Parole Chucky to the house right next to Rose Bird!
Read a little bit of interesting trivia just the other night. The judge that presided over Manson’s trial had been a fighter ace with Chennault’s Flying Tigers, then flew again in Korea before going to law school and later being appointed to the judiciary by Gov. Reagan...
He can run for office on the DNC ticket and do very well.
Drugs. Lots and lots of them. Their brains were pickled.
Even in lib CA few have sympathy for an unrepentant, and white, killer.

Don’t put it past obama to give manson a pardon as he leaves office...or if obama gets re-elected (God forbid), he could give manson a cabinet/csar position.
