Interview with Bugliosi forty years after Manson and his band of fucked up aspiring hippies butchered Sharon Tate and others: http://www.newsweek.com/id/209940?from=rss. Manson got the death penalty but was paroled to life after the subsequent Supreme Court ruling. Great--just what that nut job wanted--to have a public forum to spew his brand of crap while he basks in an environment that he's quite comfortable--the guy was in prison most of his life prior to the invention of his helter skelter persona. He likes it there--he's smarter than the rest of the inmates, gets fed regularly and is a big man on campus. That's the thing about a lot of these criminals--they don't mind incarceration and that's a fact that a lot of people don't get, those that say they'd rather die than face life without parole. Not so for Manson and guys like him.
One thing about the Chinese. For their many faults, they don't seem to have a great deal of angst when it comes to the fate of heinous criminals. A bullet to the back of the head and the perp's family billed for the cost of the bullet. Manson should thank his lucky stars he didn't grow up speaking Mandarin.
