Charles Manson, Now 77, Gets New Chance at Parole
Los Angeles Times ^ | April 5, 2012

Posted on 04/05/2012 12:24:20 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

OK....I’m confusing different family members trials. Wapner was apparently the judge in Susan Atkins’ trial.

The baliff from “the people’s court” was one of the baliffs on the manson trial.

Manson is a complete pyscopath but when you think about it, he never personally killed anyone.

Now we have the Attorney General, the POTUS and various black race-baiters with microphones who do well in accomplishing that goal.

And Manson is still crazy as bat$hit.

Of course he did - what an idiotic thing to say.

Tex Watson carved up Sharon Tate with a knife. Do you blame the knife?

Manson carved up Sharon Tate with Tex Watson.

Do you have proof he never personally killed anyone? At the very least, there were additional murders that he committed that for some reason they never prosecuted.

Deserves repeating.

What did Charlie say?

“I’m just a reflection of youuuuuuuuuu.”

I think he was talking about his son, barak Obama.

Is there still time for him to get the band back together?

Charlie Manson was one of The Two Charlies who released Got Your Water On/Don't Put Your Dirty Hands On Me, on ARC 6-06-61 and I Couldn't Stay There/Pork Chop Blues on ARC 6-09-61(the other one being Charlie Jordan, though not the St. Louis Charley Jordan)). He recorded Nineteen Women Blues on Saturday April 11, 1936, ARC unissued released on Yazoo L1040, singing and playing guitar.

Give him a shot at Bill Ayers’ old teaching job. He’s certain no worse a villain that Ayers.

Manson’s bastard children are old enough to run for the White House now.

Bugliosi's nutty conspiracy theory.

Bugliosi also called George W. Bush a murderer who could be prosecuted and holds no hint of irony or sarcasm when he screams it.

Jim Jones, Charles Manson, L.Ron Hubbard, and Anton LeVay all tied their cults to the San Fransicko freak scene. Something “new” over the establishment’s religions.

What an injustice. He should have been executed decades ago. In 1971, to be precise.

Ted Kennedy killed more people we know about than Manson did personally.
