Remember that the Manson Family of cold blooded killers included Leslie Van Houghten, who willingly and gleefully joined in stabbing Rosemary LaBianca many times. She showed no sympathy or remorse and laughed about it during her trial.
Initially sentenced to death, it was later commuted to Life in Prison where she has been since 1969. She has come up for parole several time in the past years and each time it was denied. This year she was recommended for parole by the Parole Board but California Governor Gavin Newsome refused to release her. A court has ruled to overturn the Governor's denial of parole, andnow an appeal may take it to a higher court.
It has been 55 years since the Tate-Labianca murders took place on Aug. 9 and 10 in 1969 at the hands of Charles Manson and his followers. Over the span of two days, seven people were brutally killed at two different homes in the Los Angeles area.
Manson, who had been in and out of jail during his early years for petty crimes, reinvented himself in the ‘60s as the leader of a group of young followers. He often targeted teenage girls who ran away from home or were otherwise on their own to join his group which became known as the “Manson Family.”

''The late, deadly American cult leader Charles Manson may have had more victims than previously thought, according to an upcoming documentary.
In a newly released audio from the docuseries "Making Manson," coming to Peacock later this month, the convicted murderer alleged he committed previously unknown killings south of the border. In a teaser clip, the musician-murderer is heard revealing details about his past to an undisclosed person from prison.
Directed by Billie Mintz, the docuseries includes 20 years' worth of "never-before-aired conversations" between those closest to the case including Manson himself, "who talks openly about his part in the infamous crimes, as well as his upbringing, criminal youth, and his true feelings about 'The Family,'" according to Peacock.''
''Manson goes on to say he was involved in additional killings.
"I just got involved in stuff over my head, man. Got involved in a couple killings. I left my .357 magnum in Mexico City and I left some dead people on the beach."
