Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins, who admitted killing actress Sharon Tate 40 years ago, has died. She was 61.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Atkins, who suffered from brain cancer, had been in hospice care in recent days. Thornton said Atkins died late Thursday night at a prison hospital in Chowchilla where she had been moved when she became ill.

Early this month, she lost her final bid for parole.

Susan was also involved in the LaBiana murders and that of Gary Hinman ... possibly others.

She and Charlie Watson were the worst of the bunch.

Sorry to disagree.

There are some crimes so ruthless, so degenerate and so horrific that the perpetrator loses the right to be called "Human Being".

These things are called home to their master Satan.

Remember that Satans greatest trick was to convince so many that he doesen't exist.

Fox News needs to interrupt Dohrn publically during a University meeting or class, and ask her for a comment.

In front of her students -- and after explaining who the now-deceased was.

Cheers!

she may have been in prison, but she lived for far too long....i guarantee her suffering was not nearly as great as her victims suffering was

I wonder who won Howie Carr’s Death Pool. I heard her name brought up last Friday

She was # 3 on the list.

Manson only allowed her to have sharp objects on special occasions.

All California flags to be flown at half mast.

If it was good enough for Teddy it's good enough for this killer.

Doesn’t it amaze you there are still many people out there who claim Manson is innocent?

I don't think many people think he is innocent. I've never heard anyone make that claim.

I hope she begged for forgiveness. I didn't see it in the article I read and I don't want to waste too much time finding out.

It appears her suffering, knowing she was going to die was much longer than her innocent victims.

A follower of Manson goes to the place where Helter Skeltor was born, Hell.

“May she rot in hell...” yep!

Another example of the loons produced by our liberal education system:

“...Whitehouse, her second husband, is a Harvard Law School graduate and had recently served as one of her attorneys.”

I been wondering lately why Dohrn, Ayers wife, saw Sharon Tate as a “pig”.

Maybe because of this:

...It was Atkins who broke open the case when she bragged of her participation in the slayings to cellmates ... where she was being held on other charges ... After prosecutors promised not to seek the death penalty against her, Atkins appeared before a grand jury, providing information that led to her own indictment, as well as that of Manson and others...

So even tough in some peoples' opinions Susan Atkins was the worst of the bunch, she was the one who told all and provided the testimony to get them all convicted.

A bunch of naive hippies who followed a white supremacist ex-con whore child. Not the brightest briquets on the fire.

From an AP story:

"I don't have to just make amends to the victims and families," she said softly. "I have to make amends to society. I sinned against God and everything this country stands for." She said she had found redemption in Christianity.

The last words she spoke in public at the September hearing were to say in unison with her husband: "My God is an amazing God."

If true, today Susan Atkins lives in Paradise.
