Forty years ago now, Charles Manson and his "family" committed outrageous murders in the Los Angeles, California area. Manson was subsequently sentenced to death by a jury of his peers yet during a short period when California abolished the death penalty in 1972, the decision was commuted to life imprisonment. Four decades on, the deranged psyche of this beswastikad psycho killer continues to fascinate us through pop culture. With plenty of charisma and considering the simple bizarreness of his crimes, he may very well pass on to urban myth along with the great criminals of
history.
Manson's psyche, like everybody else's was formed in early childhood. Manson was born to a teenaged prostitute whom never really wanted him. He was passed around to relatives and later in juvenille facilities, never really having a good home with a loving caretaker. His whole early life was abuse and rejection. He probably had nature as well as nuture against him. His mother served time in prison also. He didn't stand much of a chance for a good life.
