LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former Manson Family member Bruce Davis, who was sentenced to life in prison for two 1969 murders carried out with other members of the cult, was granted parole on Wednesday by a California parole board, although it was not certain he would be freed.

Davis' parole must still be affirmed by California Governor Jerry Brown, who reversed a similar decision by the same board last year, saying that the 71-year-old convicted killer remained a danger to the public.

This is why you execute convicted murderers. Always. Quickly.

Wonder how often Mr. Davis has looked back on his life and wondered “what the hell was I thinking”? Wasted life.

I think it's almost certain that Brown will veto it. Besides, is there anyone out there really lobbying for this guy to get out?

Is this the guy who is a born again Christian now?

He became a born again Christian, joined a ministry, met and married a woman in that ministry, had a now-adult daughter with her, and divorces her in the last 40 years in prison.

Are born again Christians a big Obama voting block?

I bet they won’t. No one wants to let them out. Even groups that want practically all prisoners out aren’t going to waste their good will on the Manson people.

WOW! Talk about a misshapen life. He became a born again Christian, met a married woman and had a daughter. Was the daughter by the married women? Was she divorced when the blessed event happened?

Not sounding like a Christian like life to me.

By the way, the heading says he is 71, but the article says he is 79?

California where a life sentence only applies to the victims, he, Manson and the rest should have been fried. Damn Brown and Bird to hell!

Wait! You didn't read what I wrote closely. He met a woman with the ministry and got married to her, and they had a daughter while the two of them were married. Later they divorced. Just to be clear. However, I don't know anything other than the couple of sentences they wrote in some of the articles. But there is no indication she was married when he met her.

It is kind of weird that he met, married, had a chils with, and then divorced a woman all while in prison.

It is Manson, not this guy, who is now 79. Yep, ole Charlie has lived a long and pleasant life at the expense of the CA taxpayers. I don't think being in prison has bothered that weird little freak in the slightest.

Manson was originally sentenced to death for the murder spree that horrified the nation in the late 1960s but was spared execution after the California Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972.

My bad, I read to fast. My first read left me with the impression that he met a married women and married her. I apologize.

Can't vote until the probation is discharged ... then again, since we have virtually no checks in California to see if someone is eligible to vote, nothing stops him from voting for a rat.

I cannot picture Manson’s crew of doper rodents practicing safe sex.
Have wondered for years if their are infants buried at one of his hideouts. Speculated on this with my wife but have never seen any public questioning of the possibility.
