All members of the «Family» arrested for the murder of Leno and rosemary La Bianca were sentenced to death, but later this was commuted to life imprisonment. Leslie van Houten has been in prison for more than 47 years and for the third time the Board of PAROLE recommends the release of the woman.
However, each time such an initiative was blocked by former California Governor Jerry brown. This is also facilitated by relatives of people killed by members of the sect of Charles Manson. In their opinion, none of the participants in the terrible events of 1969 should not be free.
Van Houten’s lawyer insists that his client is fully aware of his guilt and deserves to get out of prison. This year, the former follower of Charles Manson has to be fulfilled 70 years. She says that at that time came under the influence of killer-sectarian, which lost contact with the real world.

The head of the «Family» inspired van Houten that to be saved they need to commit a series of brutal murders. According to women, Manson is the main culprit of all crimes, taking advantage of the credulity of his followers.
Now the lawyer for Leslie van Houten hopes that the new Governor of the state can not deny his client’s parole. However, experts doubt this is the case. To date, none of the people involved in the murder of a family of La Bianca, was released from prison.
