This Manson family member is the longest-serving woman in California prisons. Will she get parole?

Confined to a California prison since 1971, former Manson family member and convicted murderer Patricia Krenwinkel is now the longest-serving female inmate in the state’s correctional system.

On Thursday, the 69-year-old will have a chance at freedom when a review board considers whether to recommend her for parole.

Krenwinkel was sent to death row after a Los Angeles jury convicted her of killing actress Sharon Tate and six others in a two-day rampage intended to trigger a race war. The killings were done at the behest of Charles Manson, leader of a cult-like group living on an old movie ranch near Chatsworth.

Why is it so special that she is the longest serving woman in jail? Is the author implying women should have lower sentences than men? And why is Manson still in jail if this woman should be released? He didn’t actually do the murdering did he?

Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with Manson and his butchering followers.

The Manson clan including Krenwinkel and Van Houten should have been executed long ago for slaughtering all those perfectly innocent people but a leftist CA Supreme Court saved them.

No parole, no commuted sentences for any of these murders, they should all die in prison.

There are many people who belong in prison for life and yet are free. That in no way justifies releasing a vicious murderer. Patricia Krenwinkel should never walk free, even though other evil women, like Hillary, are never prosecuted.

If Krenwinkel finds God and peace, I’m okay with that. If not, I’m okay with that too. Her spiritual destiny is in God’s hands. However, her legal destiny is in the Parole Board’s hands, and they should protect the safety of the people. Keep that murderer locked up forever.

Krenwinkel has nothing to lose by killing again. She has killed before and a mad dog doesn't change. Leave her in prison or execute her because the risk of releasing her into society is not worth losing another life.

"Hope she is paroled. She and Van Houten. Why you would ask? [...] Someone please tell me why the both are still in jail and Hillary is not in there with them?"

What? Probably because Hillary Clinton didn't savagely murder several Californians in California back in 1969? Did you miss that part?

Aaaaanyway... No, I don't think they'll be paroled. Of course I hope not, but California is firmly on the side of the lunatics nowadays.

The reason they don't parole the Manson followers still in prison is because if they paroled the admitted and convicted murderers of Tate and the LaBiancas then what intellectual reason is there to keep Charlie in prison? Might as well parole Charles Manson along with them.

I would be surprised if Gov. Jerry Brown sought to make the chief memorable legacy of his terms in office as the governor who paroled Charles Manson.

The only way out of prison for the Manson Family killers before their death is to leave on a gurney, cancer-ridden, weak as a kitten, with just days to live.

Will the people she murdered come back to life? We’re suppose to feel sorry for her?

You know, there is so much to this whole story that I’ve never understood.

They say Charlie ordered the hit and that’s why he in jail, but where is the proof?

He was not even there when it happened.

He and those twits should not have been acting a fool during that trial it might have helped their case but really Charlie might be insane who knows?

I do know one thing, there are more dead bodies around the Clintons than around the Mansons. We all know this. Why is one “family” in jail and the other not? Ask yourself this. I see Kerwinkle a lesser threat than Hillary. I would run from Hillary.

That’s some rationalization. You do remember what she did and the manner in which is carried out, right?

I say no to parole, let her rot in prison and then in hell.

Morgana: Hillary Clinton is not in prison next to Patricia Krenwinkle because she didn’t murder anyone in California, much less participate in the Manson Family slayings. That’s the reason you think the Mansons deserve parole?

Using your rationale, do I understand that you don’t think anyone be in jail anywhere because Hillary Clinton isn’t?

I’ve watched Krenwinkel at all of her parole hearings. She’s always crying that she’s denied parole. What does she think of her victims who can’t escape death?

They should all have been executed decades ago. But hoping that someone goes to Hell is an entirely different matter. That is a mortal sin.

“Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with Manson and his butchering followers.”

Yea the clintons have a higher body count. Manson could never have reached that mark. Plus I want to remind you of Bill “laughing” at Ron Brown’s funeral way back when he was president.

BUT FOR THE RENEGADE ROSE BIRD OR BYRD COURT, The Manson Cult of Murderers were sentenced to DEATH.

Their LWOP MEANS EXACTLY THAT: Life Without Parole.

ALL sins are “mortal”, that's why we need a Savior. I'm not in the forgiveness business when it comes to murders... Jesus is, but that's all his dept.
