A California panel denied parole for Charles Manson and scheduled his next parole hearing 15 years from now, setting up the possibility that he could die in prison.
Manson, 77, initially was sentenced to death for the 1969 slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six others by a group of his followers as part of what prosecutors said was an attempt to incite a race war. His death sentence was changed to life in prison after California's death penalty was overturned for a period during the 1970s.

Even if Manson didn't end anyones' life ( which is questionable ) he is still responsible for the carnage he inspired his followers to commit.
jmo
let him rot. If the death penalty ever had a reason to be, it was over a guy like this.
Nut job.
Gee, and I thought he was a model prisoner!
Free Manson!
Only a question here people, there are killers who actually kill people and are released from jail and some kill again. Manson didn't kill anyone and he will rot in jail. Its like the old saying goes if I tell you to jump off a bridge are you going to do it?
When's his next conjugal visit with Sarah Palin ?
Unpack your suitcase Charlie, you ain't going anywhere except back to your cell. Maybe a sympathetic prison cook will put an extra cookie on your meal tray.
Have a nice rest of your life where you belong Screwball
No brainer...
Sorry to say, this guy just doesn't fit anyones model of someone who could be released even on supervision. There are so many, however, that could and should be given a new chance and to keep them incarcerated at tremendous cost is not even good business since the infrastructure for outside supervision is already in place – and we don't have to feed and clothe 'em. Maybe someone will figure out a way to determine with some accuracy just who might be a viable candidate for "early release" since the prisons are slap full and costing us a fortune!
I went by his house Sunday in the "Haight" and you would never know a complete nut job once lived there.
Charlie never killed anyboey
Right, and you apparently didn't graduate 2nd grade English #learntospell
What's 'the rest of the story'? Did he attend the hearing? and . . . does this no parole decision deny him a future in Atascadero State Hospital? TELL US THE REST OF THE STORY! please? and thanx
So Happy Califorina tax payer has been keeping this citizen in good health.
I love reading the sarcastic jokes on here. I think jail bars suite him well
