This plot was too crazy even for Charles Manson. Mansons engagement to a woman 53 years his junior was part of a wild scheme of hers to profit by putting his body on public display after his death, says the author of an upcoming book.
Mansons fiancée, 27-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, known as Star, sought to wed the convicted mastermind of the Sharon Tate murder and eight other slayings so that she could gain possession of his corpse, according to journalist Daniel Simone.
Burton and a pal, Craig Hammond, planned to lay out Mansons remains in a glass crypt, Simone says. The pair figured their bizarre California version of Lenins Tomb would draw huge crowds and make big money.
But Manson, 80, does not want to marry Burton and has no interest in spending eternity displayed in a glass coffin, Simone told The Post. Hes finally realized that hes been played for a fool, Simone said.

You mean...it wasn’t LOVE?
I am Soooooooo disappointed.
LOL.
I don’t think it’s eternity in a glass coffin that is his primary problem nor this wacko chick.
A chick that’s too crazy for ol’ Charlie... that takes some doing.
If only BO could share his cell.
Oh, I dunno. Charlie should be up for parole in only a couple of hundred years. I hope she’s going to wait for him.
Reminds me of my ex.
We were played a fool when the State of Kalipornia decided to get rid of the Death Penalty and if my memory is correct set the stage for Manson to escape it. Everything else is just commentary...
...don't get excited, it's her best pic.
I don't think Satan grants paroles.
Actually, I misspoke there. Charlie’s up for parole now. For some reason he keeps getting denied. I think it’s racism.
Probably Jim Crow laws. Or the crusades.
She looks a bit like Saw’s assistant chick - shawnee smith. :-)

So, how is this different from any other broad marrying a lowlife for his money?
Wow Charlie looks very happy in that photo of his future fruitcake..I mean wife.
