She is truly evil.... I used to drive her and the other female canines from the women's jail to court every day and then have to haul them back.

Buck up, man, you can do better than that. I hear Squeaky Fromme is available.

but some can be rehabilitated after a long time inside...

Then they can be paroled AFTER their victims have been resurrected. That should be long enough for rehabilitation.

Read "Helter Skelter" by Vincent Bugliano. It is riveting and scary. Manson deserves death.

It's horrible to put the victims' familier through these parole hearings again and again -- just a new kind of torture.

Again, I'm not defending her..was asking about the system..life without parole, is one sentence..life, with the possibility of parole, is another..sh'es been inside for 35 years...does the state board have to tell why she's not fit for release..

Little did we know back then that in the 21st century we'd see the same thing on a global scale.

Well yeah, and no doubt it's because she is still breathing while those she cut to pieces have been buried in a hole in the ground for many years.

...she's been the "model prisoner"...

Lots of killers are good at putting on a convincing show of "rehabilitation." Anybody who does what she did should never be let back into society.

No abuse, but I am sure the notoriety had a factor. Besides, it was just a brutal crime and they must feel she is still a threat. Would you want to be on the board that released one of the Manson gang?

"It really makes me uncomfortable to discuss anything to do with that situation because I just simply am so sorry," Van Houten said

The victims aren't able to discuss anything to do with it either. Oh yeah, that's right. You killed them.

Actually, yes, there was a 2002 court decision faulting the parole board for not giving sufficient guidance.

Biggest travesty of justice there ever was, commuting their death sentence to life with the possibility of parole.

Charlie makes more sense than those Islamofascists out there running around loose--or those Democrats running around loose, for that matter.
