Charles Manson’s fiancée wanted to marry him for his corpse: source

This plot was too crazy even for Charles Manson. Manson’s engagement to a woman 53 years his junior was part of a wild scheme of hers to profit by putting his body on public display after his death, says the author of an upcoming book.

Manson’s fiancée, 27-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, known as Star, sought to wed the convicted mastermind of the Sharon Tate murder and eight other slayings so that she could gain possession of his corpse, according to journalist Daniel Simone.

Burton and a pal, Craig Hammond, planned to lay out Manson’s remains in a glass crypt, Simone says. The pair figured their bizarre California version of Lenin’s Tomb would draw huge crowds and make big money.

But Manson, 80, does not want to marry Burton and has no interest in spending eternity displayed in a glass coffin, Simone told The Post. “He’s finally realized that he’s been played for a fool,” Simone said.

I don’t think it’s eternity in a glass coffin that is his primary problem nor this wacko chick.

Oh, I dunno. Charlie should be up for parole in only a couple of hundred years. I hope she’s going to wait for him.

We were played a fool when the State of Kalipornia decided to get rid of the Death Penalty and if my memory is correct set the stage for Manson to escape it. Everything else is just commentary...

Actually, I misspoke there. Charlie’s up for parole now. For some reason he keeps getting denied. I think it’s racism.

So, how is this different from any other broad marrying a lowlife for his money?
