Charles Manson

For example, Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme is 66 years today and she was paroled.

They are not related. He is not even related to the man that carried the Manson last name. He raised Charles for a short time. His 16-year-old mother, Kathleen Maddox was promiscuous, a criminal, drank too much and failed to take care of her illegitimate child. Soon after his birth, Kathleen was briefly married to William Manson, and Charlie's last name changed from Maddox to Manson.

He got sent to the trans-allegheny lunatic asylum because he murdered many people, so he was sent to the "forensics" area of the campus of the asylum.

Sharon Tate's baby, a full term boy later named Paul, was not removed from his mother by the killers. One of the killers, Susan Atkins I believe, wanted to take the baby but thought there was not enough time. This may have been how the rumor started and to this day many people think the baby was cut out of Sharon.

Charles had a bad childhood and neglect. He was in and out of jail and boys remomatories since age 13 but the records does not show any details about animal abuse.

You must be referring to the 'serial killer shrine' that was found in Tennisse. Made by local teenagers, the shrine included such serial killers as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz.

sky blue-as it frees one mind to the openess of all there is to be open to.

If you mean Charles Manson then yes, he is (was) a cult leader.

There is no political bias in Helter Skelter. I've read that book many times and it really has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with winning an impossible case for the people of California. That's it.

Yes, he got the death penalty but no he did not die. After Manson's conviction and sentencing in 1970 the death penalty was struck down by the Supreme Court. That made Manson's death sentences commute to life in prison. This has made him eligibly

They are all sociopaths or psychopaths.

They don't get much worse. His crimes, and the way they were carried out are almost unparallel in criminal history. These victims did not die painless, easy deaths. It was long, excrusiating, horror-filled minutes that nobody should have to endure.

The only one that can even come close was Jack the Ripper's murder and mutilation of the prostitue Mary Kelly in November 1888.

Unless he kills somebody in prison he will not be on death row again. He and his 'family' members were given the death penalty in the sentencing phase of the trial in 1969-1970. In 1972 the Supreme Court abolished the death penalty due to it's cruel and unusual punishment on prisoners. Their sentences were automatically reduced to life which at the time there was no 'life without parole' which left only life with possiblity of parole.

It doesn't seem fair but that's are judicial system. Not perfect, but what is?

He was locked up in Gilbralt Boys School in Terre Haute, IN.

Initially, Charles Manson and his chums received the death penalty for the Tate-LaBianca murders, but when the Supreme Court decided death by state was cruel and unusual punishment their sentences were commuted to life. This is how Manson beat the system. For Charlie prison is like home. He does well in prison, probably the only structure he has ever had. So incarceration is not really a punishment at all for people like Manson. So in this respect, Bugliosi is correct, death would have been the only just punishment.

Manson didn't reach his full potential or even get close. He could have used his abusive childhood to work for the rights of abused children. He could have used his limited musical talent for good instead of his own purposes. He could have used his leadership qualities to help countless charities. The list is endless. We all make choices everyday. It is up to us what we do and which direction we go in life. As far as I can tell Charles Manson did nothing to reach the potential we are all born with.

I believe with the breakup of the Manson family some of those children where taken by the Child Protective Services. Now as to which ones, if any, were Mansons it's hard to say. But some were placed in foster homes and a few were adopted out. So it is very possible that Manson's offspring were placed into homes for adoption.

There is no simple answer to this question. It is a tale of caution, what happens in society with no rules to live by. That evil exists and it wears a mask that looks like our daughters, sons, neighbors. That when Jesus comes, He won't ask young people to kill strangers to prove how worthy they are. Mostly, he probably needed to purge Manson from his mind.

This rumor pops up every once in a while. I will assume you mean the actress Donna Douglas (EllyMay Clampett on Beverly Hillbillies). I have never found any connection between Douglas and any member of the Manson family. It was just one the the many unfounded rumors that floated around at the time of the Manson murder trials.

She's at the California Women's Correctional Fac., Fontanta, CA.

In the late 1960's Los Angeles, CA Charles Manson an ex-con and his motley crew known as the Family killed 8 people (one an unborn baby) on 2 different nights in August 1969. They were all found guilty and sentenced to death. Later their sentences were commuted to life because of a Supreme Court ruling.

Susan Atkins has since died but the remainder of the murderers are alive and well, including Charles Manson, in California prisons.

Although I have never come across this in my research, it is entirely possible. Manson started working on a 'rap sheet' when he was only 8 years old. And it is common for serial killers to start fires at the begining of their criminal careers so it would not be out of character for him.

Fun is not the exact word that applies. Control would be closer to the target. People that do what Manson did need to feel control over other humans. And what could be more powerful than someone that decides if you will live or die? Manson's followers would say that 'death was Charlie's trip', and it was.

Killing made Manson, a man that stood 5ft 2in, feel bigger than he really was. Unfortunately for Manson, it was just an illusion, a product of his distorted thinking process. And like most serial killers, no matter how many times they kill, it is never a permanent feeling. They have to kill over and over to get that same feeling.
