Charlie is dead...Linda Kasabian is dead...Susan Adkins is dead. Only 3 are left..Tex Watson, Pat Krenwinkle and Van Houghton. Cant believe they lived as long as they did. They dodged the Gas Chamber....
Wasn’t that because Rose Bird and the CA Supreme Court reversed the death penalty? So long ago, it’s a good thing (sometimes) we have the internet to set things straight after so long...Four were sentenced to die when the death penalty was abolished.

I don’t think Krenwinkle ever repented did she?
This crime killed hippies quicker than anything else
Altamont too
Everybody wasn’t quite cut out for peace love and back to the country naïveté
I was admittedly as a teen fledgling
Boy after all that though southern rock particularly AB and zeppelin and Tull and sabbath were a welcome relief
