Actually Van Houten was granted a new trial, not sure the outcome of it.
These three became sane once they were away from Charlie, one has to wonder why he was let out of jail to start with?
The parole board recommended parole for Van Houten, but Governor Moonbeam veto it.
Van Houten’s original conviction and sentenced were overturned by the court due to inadequate representation. It seems the family murdered her lawyer toward the end of the trial. Van Houten’s second trial ended in a hung jury. In her third trial she was convicted of felony murder. That is murder committed in the act it of an armed robbery. She was given a sentence of life with the possibility of parole. Her conviction and sentence are different than the other Manson murders.
