Why are any of them Still Alive?

They should have been sent to Old Sparky 40 Years Ago!

Could have Saved Cali Taxpayers a Mint.

Blame Cali Supreme Court Chief Justice Rose Bird. The prosecutors, juries, and judges involved in the Manson trials all did their jobs. They were nullified by a lone individual who 'felt' the death penalty was 'wrong'. I am sure Leo and Rosemary LoBianco 'appreciated' Bird's gesture, although they could not demonstrate the appreciation, due to the fact that they, themselves had an arbitrary 'death penalty' imposed upon themselves, extra-judicially, by Van Houten...

In California it would have been the gas chamber and I am still mystified as to why they didn’t get shoved into the chamber within a month of their conviction. With this kind of proof of guilt, the savagery, no need to wait long.

They all received the death penalty, but:

"In February 1972, the death sentences of all five parties were automatically reduced to life in prison by California v. Anderson, 493 P.2d 880, 6 Cal. 3d 628 (Cal. 1972), in which the California Supreme Court abolished the death penalty in that state."

You beat me to it!

Now liberals are saying that being in jail a long time, particularly solitary confinement, is cruel and unusual punishment. Pretty soon nobody will be jailed at all, if liberals have their way.
