Gov. Gavin Newsom overruled a parole board's decision to free Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, marking the third time a governor has stopped the release of the youngest member of Manson's murderous cult.
to free Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten on Monday, marking the third time a governor has stopped the release of the youngest member of Manson's murderous cult.
Van Houten was 19 when she and other cult members stabbed to death wealthy Los Angeles grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, in August 1969. She said they carved up Leno LaBianca's body and smeared the couple's blood on the walls. "Nobody wants to put their name on her release, but when they're speaking honestly or off the record, everyone wants her to go home," said Van Houten's attorney, Rich Pfeiffer.
Newsom's decision on Van Houten outlined her participation in graphic detail, noting that after the killings, she"drank chocolate milk from the LaBiancas' refrigerator" before fleeing. Van Houten's lawyer said in January after her latest release recommendation that the parole board found she had taken full responsibility for her role in the killings.
She later encountered Manson while traveling the coast. Manson had holed up with his"family" at an abandoned movie ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles when he launched a plan to spark a race war by committing a series of random, terrifying murders.
