After 11 failed bids for freedom, notorious killer Charles Manson, now 77, is up for parole later this month.
The parole board rejected his bid in 2007, saying Manson [For the record, 9:42 a.m. April 5: An earlier version of this post incorrectly gave the killer's last name as Mason.] "continues to pose an unreasonable danger to others and may still bring harm to anyone he would come in contact with."
Manson refused to participate in that hearing, describing himself as a "prisoner of the political system." He also declined to participate in any psychological evaluations in 2007.
"He refused to cooperate, so the conclusion they drew from the reports is he still remains a danger to the public," Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Patrick Sequeira said at the time. "He was convicted of nine horrible murders. He has expressed no remorse or empathy for any of the victims."
A new photo released by state prison system shows Manson with long, gray hair and a beard. It was released at the request of CNN in advance of next Wednesday's parole hearing.
Manson and other members of his so-called family were convicted of killing actress Sharon Tate and six other people during a bloody rampage in the Los Angeles area during two August nights in 1969. Prosecutors said that Manson and his followers were trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesized in the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, was 8 1/2 months pregnant when she was killed at her hilltop home in Benedict Canyon on Aug. 9, 1969. Besides Tate, four others were stabbed and shot to death including Jay Sebring, 35; Voytek Frykowski, 32; Abigail Folger, 25, a coffee heiress; and Steven Parent, 18, a friend of Tate's caretaker.

That left thumbnail looks like a weapon itself. Wonder if he has any other claws that he keeps sharpened, perhaps for self-defense.
Are control freaks attracted to global warming because it’s potentially the biggest scam in the history of the world?
Manson is probably going to live to 80 with three square meals a day. Meanwhile, with NDAA good people here might end up in rendition, tied to a bed in a small room in Poland in walks Hillary Clinton in a red pants suit -maybe the butt is cut out. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.
Soooo - if Im reading this right Charlie petitions the board for parole but then declines to participate in the hearing or have a psych eval done?
Good eye on that. GG Liddy had himself a ring made that was essentially a single brass knuckle.
Charlie was imported trash.
Charlie Manson, born raised and educated in Ohio.
Jim Jones, born, raised and educated in Indiana.

Pelosi...Boxer, etc., born raised educated in the nasty east coast regions
To bad California never put up a fence to keep these out of state freaks, out.
California may have been a nice place once upon a time. But nuts and flakes seems to roll to that end of the country as they move “someplace else”.
Flyover country is ignored (with some California and Texas transplants opting for Colorado) but once they hit the West Coast, there is no place farther to go.
Even the illegal aliens running Texas and CA, are obviously not from here either.
Of course what happens in CA, is already happening in every state in the U.S.
Except the U.S. government is 100,000 times deeper in the hole than CA.
He had children? I hope someone is keeping on eye on them for signs of genetic mental illness.
They’re probably working on Willard’s campaign.
“He had children?”
You bet. Tex Watson has at least 5 bastards as well. Want to guess who’s paying for them?
Eisatzgruppen is the answer for all of them.
