Prop 17 overruled People v Anderson. Anyway, not sure how that addresses my question about why people who are supposedly in for “life without the possibility of parole” have parole hearings. Perhaps she appealed at some point and got her sentenced changed.
Yes....Anderson was overturned but in the process all death sentences commuted to life in that time period stayed that way.
It was not a reinstatement of death penalties to those commuted.
They got very very lucky by the timing.
This is one of those things where over early 50s aged folks here remember all this like Kennedy or the moon landing
But for younger freepers it’s just old history
man does time move on
every Manson family member involved with the killings shoulda have been executed long ago
and like some here rationalizing it by their upbringing?
hell Charlie had far and away the worst upbringing...some of these girls were just bored suburbia chicks
Charlie’s mom was a whore...turned tricks with him in the bed as a boy...let folks diddle him
and so forth
but at some point you have to draw the line
Charlie thought Terry Melcher and some others who had spurned his songster skills ..and he did have a little...still lived in that home
and that was why they hit it...Charlie just cooked up all this acid fantasy for simply getback
and his band of fried kids went along
it was bizarre
