Forget it Leslie. You would not do well on the outside. Stick with your three hots & a cot.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge on Friday refused to overturn Gov. Jerry Brown’s decision denying parole to former Charles Manson follower and convicted killer Leslie Van Houten.
In his ruling, Judge William C. Ryan said there was “some evidence” to support Brown’s decision in refusing to release Leslie Van Houten, 68, who in 1971 was found guilty of taking part in the brutal killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in Los Angeles.
If released, Ryan found that Van Houten “would pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society.”
Ryan said the brutal and terrorizing manner in which Van Houten and her accomplices killed the LaBiancas demonstrates how the crime was more heinous than most and stands apart from others.

thank you, I was confused.
While I can appreciate some of the arguments made in his favor and Manson’s groupie because of her good behavior and apparent change of heart as well as the often light sentences of some by contrast, there still needs to be consequences that fit the particular heinous degree of certain crimes, in my opinion.
I really don't care one way or other about Leslie Van Houten. She should have been executed 45+ years ago but the fact that she wasn't and used the opportunity to apparently rehabilitate herself would support parole. On the other side, few crimes were more vicious and anyone involved deserves the maximum penalty allowable (which now in California means life imprisonment).
>>I think if Charlie was 25 years old today and accomplished the same act....he’d just be declared insane
What? No. Just no.
If Charlie was 25 today, he’d run for congress in NY or NJ, and win. He’d be a hero to the left.
I agree with the argument re degree of heinousness. She and the rest of them really should have been executed. I don’t think that many of the people who make the argument about life sentences being harsher, are being honest. That evil pos Dennis Rader will never get out prison, if he lived to be 400-but he’s glad to still be alive, even having served a lot of it in solitary confinement. He can still watch tv, get and send letters, read books, etc. For all anyone knows, that evil scum still sits and relishes the pain and agony and degradation he visited upon innocent people, including children. He should have been dead, with just enough time to ponder his execution and erasement from history a little.
Yes, the looney left was already trying to mythologise him before his trial had even ended. They never stopped interviewing him and his cult, there are tee shirts with his image (much like another of their sadistic murdering hero’s, Guevara).
May she rot in prison for eternity.
These Manson girls were the first looney left
From the article:
“In January 2018, Brown reversed a parole board’s decision to free Van Houten,”
The parole board recommenced her for release! What in the world possessed them??
I dont care if they chop her head off, That being said stop the farce of parole. She deserves it as much as the other skids they let out based on prison records age and threats to society
I say put her under house arrest with an ankle monitor if that’s cheaper than keeping her in prison.
Exactly. Everyone becomes a feeble older fairly sweet and harmless person. But what you did never goes away, no matter how helpless you eventually become. Justice is justice.
I agree completely....Keep her there unconditionally!
....I don’t base my opinion on what the present day ridiculous sentencing is
I’m just glad they’re holding the line with these satanic monsters.
She’ll no doubt soon become the darling of the Left.
Charlie Manson finally started his forever visit with Satan, one of his favs, on Nov 19, 2017. Bye Charlie. Hope Leslie joins you and the others soon.
Rather than base her incarceration as a “Just Sentence” Ryan actually told the truth. If released, Ryan found that Van Houten “would pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society.” The left suffers a real risk that on the outside she might have some notoriety and expose the roots of the progressive movement.
yes they were, and what a waste!!! How adrift do you have to be for Manson to look like the answer?
Depends on the victim’s race.
That’s possible. On the other hand, he could prove useful to maxine waters.
