U.S. Charles Manson cult follower Leslie Van Houten should be paroled, appeals court rules

May 30, 2023 / 6:02 PM / AP

A California appeals court said Tuesday that Leslie Van Houten, who participated in two killings at the direction of cult leader Charles Manson in 1969, should be let out of prison on parole.

The appellate court's ruling reverses an earlier decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom to reject parole for Van Houten in 2020. She has been recommended for parole five times since 2016. All of those recommendations were rejected by either Newsom or former California Gov. Jerry Brown, with the latest such rejection coming in March of 2022.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta could ask the California Supreme Court to stop her release. Neither his office nor Newsom's immediately responded to requests for comment on whether they would do so.

Tell you what, when Leslie Van Houten brings Leno and Rosemary LaBianca back to life, then we can talk about parole for Leslie Van Houten.

"She wasn’t there. She was part of the crew that murdered the LaBiancas."

Oh well, then that's okay. They were only an elderly, white couple. Now if they'd been black...

She didn’t age very well. I was born two years before her, and she’s got more wrinkles than an elephant’s scrotum.

I think it would be a death knell for any governor who didn’t veto their release.

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
