Susan Atkins claimed to be born again. If she truly accepted Christ as her LORD and Saviour she is now in heaven. That's how it works. Christ died and paid for every sin we have ever committed with His precious and holy blood shed for us. All we can do is accept Him and the free gift of eternal salvation. If Susan did this, she is now in heaven forevermore.

Jhn 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom 3:23-28 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

If Susan Atkins had truly accepted Christ as her Savior she would not have asked for parole. Luke 23:39-42

39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

40But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[f]”

43Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Sorry to disagree.

There are some crimes so ruthless, so degenerate and so horrific that the perpetrator loses the right to be called "Human Being".

These things are called home to their master Satan.

Remember that Satans greatest trick was to convince so many that he doesen't exist.

I agree.

However, the evidence suggests that she didn't really express regret and repent fully. If I were in her situation I would go to every parole hearing and just say that I am sorry for what I did and that I deserve to stay in jail for the rest of my life for what I did.

"What's spending the rest of my life in prison compared to the person I killed?" and "After my death, I will be free for all eternity anyway" is how I would expect someone truly changed to look at it.

She apparently did not do that, or at least it doesn't look that way to me as evidenced by her last parole hearings.

She was in jail for committing murder, it's not like she was innocent or in jail for her faith. Rather than seeking release, she should have spent the remainder of her life in prison preparing to meet her maker and the pregnant woman she murdered after she died.

In God’s view the utter filthiness of her sins

is no different than mine.
