SACRAMENTO (AP) - Cult leader Charles Manson was denied parole today for the 11th time since 1978.

He was ordered to continue serving life sentences for nine Los Angeles County murders in 1969.

Manson is now 72, but the Board of Parole Hearings says he is still a danger to the public. He won't be eligible for parole again until 2012.

Manson did not attend the hearing at Corcoran State Prison.

He tells a prison counselor that he won't participate because he considers himself a "political prisoner."

Manson was initially sentenced to death for the slayings of 5 people in the home of actress Sharon Tate, and the murders the next day of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. He also was convicted of the murders of musician Gary Hinman and former stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea.

His death sentence was changed to life in prison with the possibility of parole when the death penalty was ruled unconstitutional.

Since when are we considering hippies part of legitimate society?

 

[NotMSRP]

Since the death penalty is considered unconstitutional, what is the real purpose of a life sentence?

People who cut swastikas into their foreheads while in prison don't usually get parolled.

I think Weekend at Charlie's would be an excellent reality television show. Every weekend, the producers send a dozen ex-cult members to Charlie's mansion, and America gets to vote on which is the craziest. The winner gets to stay for another week. It would be awesome. Fox should pay a couple mil to get him out.

I started salivating when the idea of a Charlie Manson reality show was broached.

For the young 'uns here's Bob Odenkirk doing Manson from the Ben Stiller show.

The most brilliant iteration of that sketch is when instead of Lassie it's Manson :lol

"I think Manson's trying to tell us something! What is it, boy?"
