Calling a biological female a women?

Eating Meat?

Attempting to send a democrat to prison?

If only “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” could have been a true story.

She and some other Manson family members got the death penalty, but then the Supreme Court overturned the death penalty, so death sentences became life instead. Then she got a new trial and got a new sentence, which made her eligible for parole.

She may find life on the outside is not what she thinks and probably will be totally lost in a world she knows nothing about.

Can’t see the ‘x’ on her forehead. I wonder if it still shows.

I’d love to a comment from Jerry Brown.

I am sorry for the LaBianca family, this must be hard for them.

After a long period incarceration a condition can occur known as being “institutionalized”. This means the inmate has been in prison for so long its all they know and sometimes the new found freedom doesn’t set right.

It may be she thinks she wants out, but psychologically speaking she may end up wishing she wasn’t released......we shall see.

Most prisoners released in their 70s would probably be out of luck, following five decades behind bars. This one, though, will probably end up living in Bill Ayers' guest room. Perhaps not literally, but you get the point.

This follows a pattern I noticed a couple of years ago in New York: prisoners in their 70s getting paroled from life sentences so the corrections system doesn’t have to cover their health care costs.

There is a lot of interest in Manson family stuff. She could probably go on a speaking tour or make a documentary. Not sure how much of the money she could keep, if proceeds from selling crime stories are confiscated. But as to her time spent at the various houses they lived, stories about Chuck etc maybe she can get around it and keep the cash.

Yep. I liked the happy ending and ass-kicking aspects of the film.

imho murdering beautiful women should call for an especially stiff sentence and strict parole criteria.

I can't agree with that.
