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.

Yea squeeky the one that went after President Ford?
I find it odd that her and Sirhan Sirhan are the ONLY people that CA won’t let of jail.
Prison removed that smug smile from her puss.
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.
If he had died today, the New York Times would've run the headline,
ummm...i listed who went to the Tate-LaBianca homes.....duh.
Terry Melcher was hardly a Family member....
a better pic ….I’ll never understand how young women could commit such atrocities but hey it happened in death camps too and they hanged a fair number for it one only 18 in Yugoslavia I think
Democrat Communists. 99% of the time, that is the answer.
No.
Oh…never mind. Lol.
Knowing CA worse murderers have probably been released far sooner than Leslie.
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
