Governor Gavin Newsom said Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel, now 74, is still too much of a public safety risk and blocked her parole.
on Friday, more than five decades after she scrawled "Helter Skelter" on a wall using the blood of one of their victims.Gov. Gavin Newsom said Krenwinkel, now 74, is still too much of a public safety risk to be freed.
She and other followers of the cult leader terrorized the state in the late 1960s, committing crimes that Newsom said "were among the most fear-inducing in California's history." "Beyond the brutal murders she committed, she played a leadership role in the cult, and an enforcer of Mr. Manson's tyranny. She forced the other women in the cult to obey Mr. Manson, and prevented them from escaping when they tried to leave," he said.
Also, for the first time, Los Angeles County prosecutors weren't at the parole hearing to object, under District Attorney George Gascón's policy that prosecutors should not be involved in deciding whether prisoners are ready for release. She said she left with him for what she thought would be a relationship with "the new man in my life" who unlike others told her he loved her and that she was beautiful.
