Personally, I think they should have been dragged out and hanged or electrocuted immediately after being found guilty.

That was actually her Original Fate, until California got rid of the Death Plenty.

If anyone ever deserved it it would be Leslie Van Houten.

Maybe on her 106 Year Old Corpse they should carve the word "Pig" like they did to the LaBiancas.

I’d be fine with the state just carrying out her original sentence, along with Manson and whatever others are left, and closing the sick chapter in the book for the families of the victims.

I'm surprised there are actually posts on this forum in favor of releasing her, especially given that freepers tend to be strong on punishing criminals.

She's 70 years old (actually 63, I looked it up) and not a threat anymore? SO WHAT? She brutally murdered multiple innocent people. How the heck can her time in prison equal what she did to those people? Tell the families of the victims she deserves freedom. She's still allowed life on earth, something they were denied decades ago. As someone else noted, she should have been executed long ago.

More proof we need the death penalty, IMO. Even in this rare example where "life in prison" actually DOES mean "life in prison", you STILL have people who want them released years later. Even if it's a Manson family member. Sad.
