Exclusive: New Evidence Possible in Manson Family Murders
NBC Los Angeles ^ | May 24, 2012 | Olsen Ebright and Patrick Healy

Possible new evidence has surfaced in the Manson Family murders and police are poised to hear it for the first time, according to documents obtained by NBC4.

In a letter dated March 19, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck requested "eight hours or so" of audio recordings between attorney Bill Boyd and his then-client Charles "Tex" Watson, according to a U.S. bankruptcy filing.

Watson, the former right-hand man of Charles Manson, is currently serving a life sentence for his involvement in the 1969 Manson Family murders.

Although the LAPD has yet to receive the recordings, police believe the interviews could contain information about unsolved murders.

"The LAPD has information that Mr. Watson discussed additional unsolved murders committed by followers of Charles Manson," Beck wrote in a request to a trustee with the U.S. Department of Justice.

I was wondering about that. That means Obama can’t pardon Mumia.

Charlie don’t surf.

That's because he's from Ohio.

Like Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, all born, raised and educated in east coast states, places like Missouri etc, etc.

The California Suoreme Court is composed of seven members. Years back the Court voted 4-3 that the death penalty violated the California constitution. All the death-row prisoners’ sentences were reduced to a term of life (with the possibility of parole). Outraged California voters removed the four justices in a subsequent recall election.

True and a good example, which Iowa followed in voting out three Supremes for instituting gay marriage in 2010. But Manson had been commuted 14 years by the idiot Furman decision. Did any of the Framers consider capital punishment unusual? And the then usual definition of cruel went a lot further than what was done in Charlie's day.

I read “The Family” when I was a young teen, and it scared the hell out of me.

I have seen a few charismatics in mylife.
Manson was a Charismatic, and Obama is a Charismatic as well.

I got that beat. I grew up about a mile from where The Exorcist really happened.

I know what you mean. As a kid, Manson lived in the Madisonville neighborhood of Cincinnati. I grew up in Fairfax which is the next neighborhood over.

Isn’t Tex Watson the one that was allowed to marry while in jail, and have conjugal visits? I thing that POS has 3 or 4 kids, all while being “imprisoned”.
