FOUR DECADES LATER: Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel, (centre), walking to court to appear for her role in the 1969 cult killings of seven people in Los Angeles in 1970.

Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel - one of two surviving women convicted in the Sharon Tate murders - has been denied parole by a California panel.

The two-member parole board said after a Thursday (local time) hearing in Los Angeles that the 63-year-old Krenwinkel will not be eligible for parole again for seven years, the longest such period handed down to any of the Manson Family convicts.

The panel said they were swayed by the memory and of the crimes, along with 80 letters which came from all over the world urging Krenwinkel's continued incarceration.

Krenwinkel was convicted along with Manson and two other female followers in seven 1969 murders, considered among the most notorious crimes of the 20th century.

She has been imprisoned longer than any other woman in California.

and another one from last month

Charles Manson follower Bobby Beausoleil denied parole again in killing of musician Gary Hinman. Should 'family' members ever be freed?
December 14, 2010

Once again, the state Board of Parole has rejected efforts by a Charles Manson follower to be released from prison.

The latest move came Monday and involved Bobby Beausoleil, 63. According to the Associated Press: "He was arrested for the murder of musician Gary Hinman in August 1969. Beausoleil was convicted of Hinman's murder in 1970 and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to life when the California Supreme Court found the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972."

The issue of whether Manson family members should ever be released from prison came up in 2008 when Susan Atkins, who was terminally ill, asked for her freedom. Officials rejected her bid, and she died in prison.

and a few words from Charles

[terry57]

When I watch old Charlie raving on like a lunatic the TV moderating team spring to mind.

[kmart]

Charlie Manson still sells newspapers and headlines more than 40 years after his crimes. Charismatic SOB.

[prawnograph]

In the news again - a Rolling Stone magazine interview (here in full) - presume these are not done for free

Charles Manson Today: The Final Confessions of a Psychopath
He's nearly 80 and his Family is smaller, but darkness still surrounds America's most notorious criminal



He's 79 years old. He's an old man with a nice head of gray hair but bad hearing, bad lungs, and chipped-and-fractured, prison-dispensed bad dentures. He walks with a cane and lifts it now, in greeting to his visitors, one of whom is a slender, dark-haired woman he calls Star.

"Star!" he says. "She's not a woman. She's a star in the Milky Way!"

He shuffles toward her, opening his arms, grinning, and she kind of drifts in his direction.

[Pragmatic]

His fcuking tattoos have done him proud. Mine are now faded after 40 years. I say let him go. Let others take care of the shit. Or is this why he won't be released?

[terry57]

Didn't realize Charlie was 79 years old ?

Just goes to show that being denied drugs and alcohol does extend ones life.

Not that its much chop being banged up but after so long he would like it I reckon compared with trying to survive in normal American society.

[Pragmatic]

after so long he would like it

Hence why he's bi-sexual. Does any one think he can re-adjust to normal life after being in prison for so long? Of course not. He's kept in there for his own protection, and nothing more.

[dobella]

Seems like a healthy lifesyle in the US prison system, Charley looks well good for his age.
The woman that is wanting to marry him now is surely not asking for annonimity ?
She surely wont be selling stories about her and 'loveable' Charlie, no she loves him for the cuddly bunny he always has been.

[Rural Surin]

So...what was the real crime that keeps him incarcerated for so long?

Too late now - such has been implanted and repeated over and again throughout popular imagination.

[wasabi]

The message is clear,do not kill the well to do,you will never be released.

[Boon Mee]

Or the Beautiful.

Sharon Tate used to give me Wood!

[barbaro]

Is this parole denial any surprise?

It's just a way to give more publicity to these idiots.

OP - PU*)(*&*( you.

[friscofrankie]

Charles Manson was, and is, an institutionalized nut case. He is where he belongs. Would have eventually ended up there with out a lot the fanfare associated with his name now... I still don''t know who he actually took part in killing, though.

here's his new girl friend's web site:

[friscofrankie]

Charlie was, and is, a completely institutionalized nut case. He would have eventually ended up in the joint again regardless of the circumstances. He is where he belongs. Still, I don't know how they got him for any of the murders since he wasn't there. He filled some stupid Wannabe hippies head with shit and they acted on it.

Believe they got him based on a 'murder for hire' clause in the law. Inciting murder the same as going out and hiring a hit man to put somebody down? Very high profile case too.

I thought a few of his early songs were quite promising. Dunno if the Beach Boys paid him any royalties after he got sentenced?

[harrybarracuda]

Let them all rot to death, what they did was inhuman.

Got that right harry...

another Manson follower in news this week
71, and 43 years in prison - wonder how many last that many years?

Ex-Manson follower gets parole, but hurdles loom

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (AP) — A California board once again approved parole Wednesday for former Charles Manson follower Bruce Davis, but before he's released he'll have to get past Gov. Jerry Brown — who chose to keep him in prison under the same circumstances just last year.

Davis, 71, made his 28th appearance before a Department of Corrections Board of Parole Hearings at the California Men's Colony near San Luis Obispo.

He has been in prison for nearly 43 years, sentenced with Manson and others for the 1969 murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman ranch hand Donald "Shorty" Shea. He long maintained that he was a bystander in the killings, but in recent years he has acknowledged his shared responsibility.

Davis was granted parole by the same board in 2012, but Brown rejected it last March, saying he was convinced Davis still hadn't revealed all he knew about the Manson Family.

Brown said in his written decision that after four decades "it is encouraging that Davis is beginning to reveal the actual details of what happened. But it is clear that he continues to withhold information about these events."

"Until Davis can acknowledge and explain why he actively championed the Family's interests and shed more light on the nature of his involvement, I am not prepared to release him," Brown said.

And just three years before Brown's rejection, Davis got the same treatment from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who refused his release on parole in 2010.

He became a born-again Christian in prison, earned a master's degree and a doctorate in philosophy of religion and ministered to other inmates.

He married a woman he met through the prison ministry, and has a grown daughter. The couple recently divorced.

Davis would be only the second Manson-related murder defendant to be granted parole since the killing spree began in 1969.

Manson and three of his followers, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Charles "Tex" Watson, remain in prison for life in the Tate killings. Their co-defendant, Susan Atkins, died of cancer behind bars in 2009.

[billy the kid]

[Rural Surin]

yea a complete nutter and gave acid a bad reputation.

Nah...
All part of his theatre.

People are swayed so easily.

Charlie's no more of a lunatic then anyone else.

[neemo]

The PC brigade will keep him locked up.
