Leslie Van Houten: Parole bid of Charles Manson follower denied again
Fox 5 Atlanta ^ | February 12, 2022 | Kelly Hayes

SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court has denied a potential bid for freedom by Leslie Van Houten, a Charles Manson follower serving a life sentence for her role in the murder of a Los Angeles grocer and his wife in 1969.

The high court on Wednesday refused to hear Van Houten’s appeal of a lower court ruling last December that denied her petition for a review. That petition had challenged what it deemed as denial of due process by Gov. Gavin Newsom in reversing a 2020 parole board recommendation.

The petition also said Newsom had refused to provide documents indicating when the board referred the case to him and argued that there was a "strong possibility" that he exceeded a 30-day time limit for review.

Although,”famous” people get to commit one murder and get away with it.

Something many people do not know about.

Wasnt he involved in writing a song for some rock group that became a semi successful song?

Was it a CSN&Y song?

There is grace and forgiveness, but there is also justice and punishment. I wonder why a truly repentant murderer would not stop seeking parole and serve out their sentence as part of their penance and to make some small restitution to the family of the victim and to society. The family could then have the peace of not having to keep tabs on parole requests and showing up to testify as to why the murderer of their loved one should not be paroled.

‘One of the Beach Boys (Dennis Wilson?) hung out with Charlie, too.’

Dennis Wilson allowed them to live in his home for a period of time, and introduced Manson to Terry Melcher, a music producer, who, after taking one look at Manson, said ‘thanks, but no thanks’...

Dennis Wilson, a very bizarre character indeed...

‘And don’t be surprised if you see Tex and Susan Atkins in heaven.’

in no sane universe would a hell creep like Tex Watson ever end up in any type of peaceful afterlife, should such a thing even exist...as for a stupid slut like Atkins, the less said, the better...

The only decent thing Gov. Newsom has done.

Read where a representative of the Folger, Frykowski and Tate families are at every single parole hearing for these monsters to this day. Hopefully the Parent family too.

All of them should have been executed decades ago.

‘...if you don’t believe the Bible.’

it has nothing to do with believing religious texts, and everything to do with acknowledging that if you haven’t nowingly committed a sin, then you are, by definition, not a sinner...

On a whim, I watched “Once upon a time in Hollywood”
Taking a flame thrower to a member of the Manson Family near the end sounded like a fitting end.

Sandra Collins Good (born February 20, 1944) is a long-time member of the Manson Family and a close friend of Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme.

She’s watching her youth rot away; the life she denied Tate and others.
