The murders he was convicted of occured on August 9 & 10, 1969. But there were other victims that seldom get mentioned in the mainstream media. Music teacher Gary Hinman was murdered before the August 1969 killings, and he was not alone. Police are still searching for bodies hidden in the desert east of Los Angeles. Many will probably never be found.
In July 1969 the Manson "family" started the killings.
It was July 1969 when the Manson "family" started the killings.

Not for the crimes from 40 years ago. If they were to commit another murder inside the prison they could in fact be given a death sentence.
Charlie was always a busy guy. Besides murder and conspiracy to commit murder he was a car thief, burgler, song writer, and basically a 'legend in his own mind'.
No it is NEVER ok to commit murder
No.
Conspiracy to commit murder mean getting together with a bunch of other guys and planning to bump someone off even if you dont do it. If is also just being with someone who commits murder and you don't say a word or even helping with murder.
As far as anybody knows, Manson's murders were mainly on the West coast, mostly in Southern California. Manson and his followers wandered up and down the west coast from below L.A. to Washington state. There are always unsolved murders and missing persons that are never found, so who knows. You can't hang a man on speculation.
All were found guilty of multiple counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, and all received a death sentence. Except for Linda Kasabian, the only family member that was present at both Tate and LaBianca murders who did not kill anyone. Kasabian was given immunity for her testimony against the others, Manson included.
The Tate-LaBianca murders were carried out by followers of Charles Manson, a cult leader. Manson himself did not directly participate in the murders but orchestrated them through his followers, who became known as the Manson Family. Manson's motive was to incite a race war he called "Helter Skelter."
It is my understanding that that means asking someone to commit murder for you.
Manson is unique in the world of serial murder. He actually has more in common with other cult leaders than serial killers. There are several factors that are very clear though, he falls into the organized classification. He planned, plotted, and prepared his 'family members' from start to finish.

Conspiracy to commit murder means that the person had full intent and plans to commit a murder. Also known as premeditated murder.
