Leslie Van Houten has been released from prison after Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to continue fighting her parole facing the likelihood he would not win in court.
As for the case, the story you hear and has gone down in history as what actually happened, was written by Bugliosi, the prosecuting attorney, who has since been found to have been playing fast and loose with the facts and hiding a bunch of shit. He made his career on the Manson case and has been very successful because of it but now there are a lot of questions. There’s likely a lot of shit that’s been lost to time and we’ll never know.
You won’t hear about it but a lot of shit has come up that calls into question everything he said. His book, Helter Skelter is supposed to be the definitive story of the case but now there are a lot of holes in it, including your theory which said that Charlie never intended anyone to get killed and Tex had him and the girls murder to challenge his leadership of the family. Charlie never told anyone to kill people during the Tate murders and Tex went off script. Then Tex ran away to Texas before the rest of the family were arrested, so there was some shit going on we’ll probably never know about.
Very excellent background information, thank you
