I apologize. Charles Manson should not have been given a room in the prison system and treated so well. Yes, he died.

In 1971 he was found guilty of
first-degree murder and
conspiracy to commit murder for the
deaths of seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, all of which were carried out at his instruction by members of the group. Manson was also
convicted of
first-degree murder for two other
deaths.
He served 46 years alive. The reason his cult follows was because he was alive.

The killings orchestrated that summer by Charles Manson, who died on Sunday at the age of 83, after spending the past 48 years in prison, occupy a unique space in the American cultural psyche. All of the elements of the Tate–LaBianca murders, as they came to be known, seemed designed for maximum tabloid impact. There was the actor Sharon Tate, luminously beautiful and eight months pregnant, who was stabbed to death with four others at a rental home in Hollywood. There were the killers—young women, Manson acolytes corrupted by a sinister cult figure. There were the drugs, abundant both on the Manson Family ranch and at the house on Cielo Drive. There was the nebulous chatter about satanism and witchcraft and race wars ready to erupt. And, as Didion captured, there was a sense that something was rotten from the Hollywood Hills to Haight-Ashbury—that the Summer of Love had long since curdled into paranoia and depravity.
Is there not one person that will come forward and state he ruined their life? He did far more than molest these young women. Should have fried this evil person long time ago.
I feel he cost us far more than money...
