Charles Manson

I don't really know but I'm assuming she would probably be dead now because he is now 74 years old..... but then again she could be alive. if she did die it would have probably been while her son was still in jail.

Manson was convicted of the Tate-LaBianca murders which occured on August 8 and 9, 1969. He also ordered the killing of music teacher Gary Hinman but I have never heard if charges were ever brought against him for Hinman's murder. Manson and his 'family' are suspected in many more killings but with many there is a lack of evidence, some there is a lack of a body. People that crossed Manson's path many times just disappeared.

Charles Manson is a man who brainwashed young people and had them murder actress Sharon Tate and 8 other people. He also stole a car back in the 1960's.He was charged with murder & conspiracy. His next court hearing his 2012 and he is being held at Corcoran State Prison. Charles Manson also was on the death penalty but in 1972 they uplifted it so him and the "Family" got off the hook and now spends the rest of his life in prison.

As it now stands, Manson will never get out of prison. He has had many parole hearings and has been denied every time. He will leave the prison one day, but it will be in a pine box.

He's up for parole again in 2012. Maybe that's what the Mayans were talking about with all the 2012 doom, the second coming of Charlie.(Ha Ha) He won't ever get out, but what if he did, what would he do?? Greeter at Walmart, Barista at your local Star bucks, Mall Security guard??

He could probably go to a minimum type place but he will have to stay in protective custody. He'd get killed by some kid trying to make a name for himself.

I wonder what Roman Polanski would say, wasn't he just given a break on an old rape case. Maybe he has forgiveness in his heart. Maybe Abby Folger's family might help Charlie get back on his feet.

He could go stay with Squeaky Fromme. Shes out now. That sounds like a Sitcom in the new WB fall line up. Charlie and the Squeak. Hes a delusional murderous ex-cult leader, shes a failed Presidential assassin. Together they're raising a young adopted Asian boy in the city. HEY!! It could happen.

Manson was denied parole for the twelfth time in 2012. He did not attend that hearing. Per wikipedia, prison offcials believed that at 77 years of age, his controlling behavior, schizophrenia and paranoia meant he was still too dangerous to be released. His next parole hearing was set for 15 years later, rather than the customary seven. If Charles Manson lives to see that day in 2027, he will be 92 years old.

The cost of the death penalty versus life in prison is a complex issue that varies depending on multiple factors such as legal fees, appeals, and housing expenses. Some studies suggest that the death penalty can be more expensive due to lengthy legal processes and specialized facilities. However, other studies argue that life imprisonment costs more in the long run due to healthcare and housing costs for aging inmates. Ultimately, the cost effectiveness of the death penalty versus life in prison is a contentious and multifaceted topic that lacks a definitive answer.

Charles Manson IS still alive. He is now around the age of 75, and is still in Concoran State prison in California, doing a life sentence.
Charles Manson is still alive, still in prison, and awaiting his next parole hearing. He has been denied parole 11 times. His next parole hearing is scheduled for 2012.

Manson has a number of tattoos as did some of the 'family' members. During the trial Manson carved an X and then a swastica on his forhead and many of his followers copied his example with their own X's.

An old-fashioned name for antisocial personality disorder is psychopath. These are damaged people, and most of the damage was probably done during their childhoods. A person with antisocial personality disorder was most likely neglected or abused as a child. But the abuse and neglect doesn't have to be severe; even benign neglect can cause a person to develop this illness. Living with other people isn't easy. Whether they're a college dorm-mate, a roommate, a parent, a lover or a spouse, sharing daily living space with other human beings requires a lot of compromising and setting of rules in order. But the problem with antisocial disorder is that there are no specific medications for that condition. That means that only some sort of the psycho therapy, perhaps a group one might help. But of course, he has to have the will and desire for that. A family is like an orange: each segment is unique, but connected to make a whole. When member suffers, the entire family suffers. When a loved one in your family is suffering from one of the personality disorders, the entire family is under stress.There are many excellent therapists, counselors, and medical practitioners who specialize in treating personality disorders, but very often the caregivers are overlooked. Just as Mom and Dad can be taken for granted by the children, they can also be assumed to be doing just fine in such a stressful environment.

It doesn't matter much what the personality disorder is when it concerns the well-being of the family. It could be borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or manic depression. The caregivers need to be taken care of as well!

He was born in Cincinnati.

//There is no evidence that Manson ever lived in the Cincinnati neighborhood called Madisonville. Although born in Cincinnati, Manson spent his earliest years in Kentucky, but there is no evidence that he actually lived in Madisonville, KY, either.

Unless there have been any recent changes Manson is housed in cell #B-33920 in the SHU (Security Housing Unit) at CSP (Corcoran State Prison). SHU is the maximum security unit.

I'm sure they were briefly stunned. Manson has a lot of problems, he just doesn't know it. He was diagnosed as APD (anti-social personality disorder), tendencies of paranoia, and as he ages, dementia. He is a master manipulator, a control freak.

There is very little information available on Manson's children. I have found a couple different scenarios for Charles, Jr.'s suicide. One claims that he shot himself in his car somewhere in Ohio. The other claimed that he hung himself in a closet in a hotel, no location given.

As to why he felt suicide was his only option would be guesswork as best. It would not be surprising to find that he suffered from depression or other mental illnesses, considering the gene pool he came from.

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.

Two did, yes. Leslie Van Houten married an ex-convict but the marriage lasted only a short time. Susan Atkins was married twice while in prison. Denied parole because she was dying of brain cancer, her 2nd husband stood by her until the end. Patricia Krenwinkle has never married. She remains in prison, but tries to make her life mean something. She has earned a degree, teaches illiterate inmates to read and says she regrets what she did everyday of her life. All three women have tried repeatedly for parole but each time have been denied.

Footnote:Susan Atkins passed away in September 2009.

Manson brainwashed the gullible young people that lived with him and called themselves 'the family'. Like any good cult leader he stripped them of the worldly posessions, isolated them from the other family and friends, drilled his view of the world into their heads 24/7, ect. Brainwashing doesn't happen overnight but the methods worked very well. The lucky ones were not asked to participate in the Tate-LaBianca and Hinman murders. But for Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinkle, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, Leslie Van Houton and Bobby Beausoleil, Manson's influence was too strong. At the time of the murders these people said they would have gladly died for Manson. They almost did. California's death penalty law was struck down in 1972, all death sentences were reduced to life. They are all elegible for parole, including Manson himself.

Yes he is.

He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. When Manson's mother and her brother were sentenced to five years' imprisonment for robbing a Charleston, West Virginia, service station in 1939, Manson was placed in the home of an aunt and uncle in McMechen, West Virginia.

Charles Manson did get the death penalty. But when the California Supreme Court abolished the death penalty, his sentence was changed to life imprisonment. Later on when the death penalty was re-established, Manson was unaffected, and he is serving a life sentence.

Manson has been arrested numerous times but I will assume you are asking about the final time. Late summer-early fall of 1969. His trial was held in 1970 and at the time was the longest running trial ever held in California.

We can always hope it didn't give them ideas, or expectations to live up to, but it may have. Among killers, even serial killers which enjoy a certain celebrity status, Manson seems to be the "granddaddy" of them all. His crimes were so brutal and gory, that he was bound to attract attention.

It is a fact that killers correspond with each other in prison. Manson is no exception. He is enjoying his infamy. Go figure!

At the time of his arrest in 1969 he was 5 ft. 2 in. and weighed about 130 lbs.

Charles Milles Maddox (Manson) was sentenced to Death, reduced by aboliton of death penalty to life in prison. Manson is an inmate in the Protective Housing Unit at Corcoran State Prison in Corcoran, California. His inmate number in the CDCR is #B33920.

Manson has been before the parole board many times but has never been released. The last few times he has not even bothered to show up.

No, Charles Manson is not on death row. His death sentence was changed to life imprisonment after the Supreme Court of the State of California acted to abolish the death penalty. His next scheduled parole hearing is in 2012. Links to some Related questions can be found below.

Charles Manson never actually killed a single person, but had his loyal followers do it for him. He hurt some people thought, Manson was a born criminal for the most part. He was also in and out of juvenile prison for stealing and assaults.

Charles Manson was able to build an image to his followers, which is another important part of being a leader. Manson built an image as a father figure to many of his followers. When he would recruit his followers he would often look for younger people who had lived the same type of life as he had. He would promise them that they would join this family and be loved. These people were usually runaways or had very low self-esteem.

He used this technique mostly when he was trying to persuade people. Telling people about his failed music career and the race war were used mainly to persuade people, but by putting them into a logical order and telling these people what could happen if they joined him was greatly influential in getting more followers. By telling these potential followers what could happen if they joined with him made him seem more appealing to them. By putting things in a logical order of what was going to happen and how they would be safe with him; Manson was able to gain a much bigger following.

It began on September 1, 1969 when a ten-year-old boy finds the gun used in the Tate murders. The boy's father turns the gun over to the LAPD but the LAPD fails to do a proper investigation.

Whiting that period of time, Susan Atkins bragged about her role in the murders and Manson bragged about the killings in some other jail. That brought Manson to his sentence in 1971.

I have never heard about forensics evidence use in the case, but we could be certain that the gun found by the 10 year old kid went trough the process once they had Manson in custody.

//Manson was arrested at Barker Ranch in Death Valley, CA, on October 13, 1969, on charges of grand theft auto. He was held in the local jail in Independence, CA, located in Inyo County, northeast of Los Angeles. He remained in the Independence jail until he was transfered to L.A. county jail where he was officially charged with the Tate-LaBianca murders.//
