Manson family member Leslie Van Houten is again denied freedom
LA Times ^ | June 5, 2013 | Andrew Blankstein

A parole board on Wednesday rejected Manson family member Leslie Van Houten's 19th attempt to win freedom.

The board also decided she could not seek parole again for five years.

Van Houten, 63, was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the 1969 killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in their home in Los Feliz. She has repeatedly been denied bids for parole over the last four decades.

“Given the brutality of the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca and Van Houten’s willing and active participation in this evil, pre-planned and violent crime, we are pleased with the parole board’s decision to continue to hold Van Houten accountable for her heinous actions,' L.A. County Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey said in a statement.

Christ forgave the murderers that were executed along with Him.

I hope so, it is appropriate.

Haha - good one. At one time, before the drugs, she was a relatively normal kid

Vince Bugliosi said in 1980 (he was speaking at my college) That of all the murderers, buggerers (sp?) and thieves he ever dealt with, the one that really frightened him was Charlie.

You would think Roman Polanski would have manned up and taken some of these vermin out from the inside. But he’s a pedophile, so I guess not.

If someone did that to my wife and unborn child, “Law Abiding Citizen” time would ensue; take as many of them out as possible is as painful of a manner as possible.

I’m surprised no ones taken any of these trash or John Lennon’s killer out yet.

I also knew a guy that knew C Manson.

He could pass for CM’s twin brother.

Didn’t matter how well I knew him I still couldn’t bring myself to let him ride in the back seat while I was driving.
Gave me the willies.

We were having coffee at a Pitt Grill one morning in Mobile, Al before going to work. The cops surrounded the place, they though C Manson had escaped.

I’m having a hard time working up any sympathy for Ms. Houten.

I believe that Christ forgave one of them (Dismas) because he asked for forgiveness.

Nothing is mentioned about the other criminal as far as I know.

Christ forgave the murderers that were executed along with Him.

Actually, only one, and he was a thief. Has Leslie asked Christ for forgiveness?

Your era and your former neck of the woods

Can you believe post 3?

Good lord....I was only 13 but I remember it all like yesterday

Death of the hippie ideal

Van Houten should have been killed by the state but for damned Anderson ruling

Literally butchered

the one that really frightened him was Charlie.

Many years ago, Diane Sawyer interviewed Manson.

Diane: Charlie, some people say you are crazy. Are you?
Manson: Me? Crazy??? Back in my day crazy meant something. Today? EVERYONE is crazy!!!
