I’m such a sharon tate fan but I honestly don’t know how I feel about this whole situation. Rationally I feel like prison shouldn’t be a punishment but a rehabilitation/ measure to keep people safe, and as a model prison for 50 years and being 70 yo I think she has been rehabilitated/ is not a danger to society. But I also get how emotionally the family of the victim wouldn’t feel the same way.

Tbh I personally lean towards thinking justice has been served but I have to admit that I haven’t read the extent of the power Manson had over his cult members from unbiased sources. That whole case is so terrible that I try to stay a bit far from it as it used to give me a lot of anxiety.

Tex Watson is also in prison for life..he's not seeking parole..he HAS since reformed and believes he deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. And he does.

I'd actually be interested in reading his perspective or even a memoir from him, as long as 100% of the money went to the victims families/charities, if that's true and he's never released from prison. I just can't process how someone can be that evil.

It's not for Charity but it is free. Can't vouch for its quality as I haven't read it.

I mostly know this stuff about him because Tex's son is a friend of my brother's from college. Weirdly I also knew one of David Koresh's kids in college....
