Is Charles Manson getting out of jail?

CORCORAN, Calif. - Charles Manson was denied parole Wednesday, the 11th time since 1978 that the cult leader was ordered to continue serving life sentences for a murderous rampage in 1969.

Manson, 72, did not attend or send a representative to the proceeding before the Board of Parole Hearings at Corcoran State Prison.

He previously told a prison counselor that he refuses to participate because he considers himself a "prisoner of the political system," said Patrick Sequeira, Los Angeles County deputy district attorney, who attended the hearing.

The board voted to deny Manson parole for at least five years, the maximum allowed by law. He will not be eligible for release again until 2012.

Despite his age, Manson "continues to pose an unreasonable danger to others and may still bring harm to anyone he would come in contact with," the board wrote in its denial.

Manson has had 12 disciplinary violations since his last parole hearing in 2002. He refused to take advantage of rehabilitation programs, and he would not participate in a psychiatric evaluation, Sequeira said.

"He refused to cooperate, so the conclusion they drew from the reports is he still remains a danger to the public," Sequeira said in a telephone interview. "He was convicted of nine horrible murders. He has expressed no remorse or empathy for any of the victims."

Manson initially was sentenced to death for the August 1969 fatal stabbings of five people in the Los Angeles home of actress Sharon Tate and the murders the next day of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Prosecutors said Manson and his followers were trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesied in the Beatles song "Helter Skelter."

He also was convicted of the earlier murder of musician Gary Hinman and the slaying of former stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea at the Spahn movie ranch in Chatsworth, where Manson had his commune.

His death sentence was changed in 1977 to life in prison with the possibility of parole, the result of a 1972 ruling by the California Supreme Court that found the state's death penalty law at the time unconstitutional.

Manson will never see the day of light. He's been locked away for so long that he doesn't even know how to live around people, not to mention it doesn't even look like he wants to see the light.

If they let him out, they would need an evaluation. He will die in prision. Remember he once thought he was Jesus? I remember his interview, he looked the camera right in the eye and said " I am "Jesus Christ" he was serious to.

There's a nut that will never be let out. If he doesnt cooperate with them, then there's virtually no chance he will be parolled.

Charles Manson looks as scary today as he did the day he was arrested. I've seen him several times on the news and he just gives me chills, his eyes are not ones I like to look at either.
Until he really admits any guilt for any of his actions with the murders he will never get out of jail. Even then I doubt he would get out of jail.

Im not really sure what the laws were in California at the time, I would assume that the laws were pretty steep for Conspiracy to Commit Murder because if I recall correctly, Manson never did murder anyone, it was always his associates. I think even if he did do everything possible to get out of jail, they still wouldnt let him out because his following would be so big that it would be as celebrated as Hitler coming back to lead a 4th reich. Also from what I remember, Manson was flat out lazy. He begged to go back to prison after one of his sentences ran out in the 60s. Being in prison to him is not a big deal at all, its his home and theres no place he would rather be. I guess its a win/win situation for everyone.

Manson's mother was a prostitute...he spent the most of his childhood in orphangaes and boys homes...he really doesn't know how to live on the outside...When the Tate-LaBianca murders happened, Manson wasn't present. He was convicted of conspiracy to murder and sentenced to death. That sentence was commuted when the death penalty was abolished in the 70's. Now, he and his conspirators sit in prison with the "possibility of parole". But, considering all of the had death sentences commuted, I doubt any of em will ever be released from prison.
