Charles Manson is to be reviewed to see if he should be moved to a psychiatric hospital. His lawyer says that he has never even met Manson. He is unsure if Manson will even come to the hearing. Manson is now 77 years old. Originally Manson was sentenced to death for the murder of Sharon Tate and 6 others. Manson has been denied parole 11 times. He hasn't shown up for a parole hearing for 15 years.
I don't know much about the Manson family murders. I've never read the "Helter Skelter" book and the murders happened long before I was born. But this guy had to know what he was doing. I don't think he had mental issues. I think he was a messed up man but I don't think he should be able to just go into a psychiatric hospital. He should either have to stay in prison for life or follow through with the life penalty. Everyone should have to pay for their crimes.
I agree that these murders happened way before i was born so i dont know much about them either. But when these crimes were committed i dont believe they let people off for physcological reasons. If the man does have a mental problem i feel he should be gived the right to be evaluated in a mental institution. But if he is found sane then bury him under the prision. Now days i believe people use the insanity card way to often to try and get away with crimes they have done
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is no way this guy should ever see the light of day again. Mental illness or no there are certain people who cannot and should not be a part of free society.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. Killing 7 people is no call for any kind of leisure time. He should be put back into prison for life. How scary would that be to know a killer is on the streets if a mental hospital cleared him? Scary.
