Charles Manson Near Death
Charles Manson was taken from prison yesterday and moved about an hour away to a Bakersfield, CA hospital where he is expected to remain until he dies. Back in 1969, Manson and his followers committed nine murders at four locations over five weeks. He was sentenced to death in 1971 but later had his sentence commuted to life in prison. One of his accomplices, Patricia Krenwinkel, who is the longest-serving female inmate in California, had her parole hearing suspended just before the New Year after the Board of Parole Hearings wanted to investigate claims she was the victim of battered women's syndrome.
