Prior to the hearing, which Manson refused to attend, Los Angeles Assistant District Attorney Stephen Kay said Manson has been a "terrible prisoner" in recent years, and that his record shows multiple incidents in which he hit, spit at, or threw coffee on prison guards and other employees.

I wonder what "Manson spit" could fetch on Ebay?

Also, is the district attorney implying that if Manson had not been a "terrible prisoner," but instead, well-behaved, he'd have a chance at parole? :boxedin:

Nah, everyone in America with the exception of about 5 people will eventually get parole. He's one of the five.

1. Charlie Manson
2. Sirhan Sirhan
3. Mark David Chapman
4. David Berkowitz
5. Ronald DeFeo

Well, Steverino, these days they've got to hang the parole rejection on something politically correct. They can't just put their boots up on the table and drawl out, "see, back in the Helter Skelter days 'ol Charlie was crazier'n a $h!thouse rat. Still is. Mebbe even worse now. So bein's as how we can't hang the SOB, let's keep him in The Hole for another 5 years."

No sir. We have to pretend to actually consider releasing a completely homicidal nutcase like Charles Manson back into the world. It's the liberal way.

I don't think Hinckley will be out any time soon, either.
 
every time he meets the parole board he just says crazy hateful stuff and so obviously hes not going to get out any time soon
 
Maybe he doesn't WANT to get out. He's getting free bed and board, and they keep him away from everyone else so he gets personal attention. What more could he ask for!

As for Squeaky, I suspect she's either gone mad, or regrets it all. But an assassination attempt in a president will get you genuine life, will it not?

Many years ago I read the prosecuting lawyer's book of the orginal trial. He went into a lot of detail about Manson's past and his total disefranchisation within society.

He firmly believed Manson went out of his way to conduct a crime that would see him get a genuine life sentence. Manson had been institutionalised since virtually his teens, and I believed he's spent a total of three of his previous 20 years out of jail.

I am not going to be mamby pamby about prision and reform, but Manson had been so brutalised by the system he'd lost the ability to function as an adult. Realisiticaly the best place for him is in prision. He can't funtion on the outside, and I dont believe society is anywhere near being capable of accomodating him

Yeah, I guess physical assault is politically incorrect. So is spitting on people.

OMG TEH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!

Right-wing nuts are funny.

She's been eligible for parole since 2005, but has refused to attend the parole hearings.

She doesn't regret it at all...

It has been a while since I looked over the case, but as I recall Manson was to be executed for his role in the murders, but while on death row the Supreme Court ruled all executions as being cruel and unusual punishments, so his sentence was automatically commuted to life in prison.

Further, California law requires all such convicts to have at least one parole hearing per year.

By now, Manson has had quite a few of these hearings and while the board listens politely and does review his record as they are supposed to do, they have never even tried to grant him parole even some years ago when he was trying his best to act nice by talking about he wanted to go to Big Sur to watch the whales.

John Douglas (author and former criminal profiler for the FBI) was able to interview Manson during his research, and he had a slightly different take on things...

While he believed Manson should never ever be paroled, he seems to think that the murders committed under his 'command' were due to an internal power struggle in his 'family'. (i.e. one family member was trying to take control committed the first serious crimes and Manson could not afford to appear weak and so ordered the later killings.)
 
Does anyone think Manson will ever be released, liberal or not liberal political correctness aside?
 
"I'll be back. You can't keep the Democrats out of the White House forever. And when they get in, I'm back on the street! With all of my criminal buddies! Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha!!"



And to answer Warge's question:

1986 -
1992 -
1997 -
"trailer" for 2007 parole hearing -

This could be his year!
