The True Story of the Manson Family A Graphic Novel by Randolph Gentile One man and three women... …each of them members of what would come to be known as The Manson Family, stood outside of the main gate at 10050 Cielo Drive. On the other side of the gate sat a beautiful ranch style home overlooking Beverly Hills. They knew no one that lived there, but knew they had to go inside. The man, Tex Watson, had a plan that was hatched a short time prior to their arrival. The girls, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian, had no idea what that plan was, but were instructed to do what Tex said. Underneath it all, like a wound beneath a scab, was “Helter Skelter”. Helter Skelter would be an apocalyptic race war between the blacks and the whites and when it ended, their leader, Charles Manson would rule the world. Tex, Susan, Patricia and Linda were about to ignite the war. 10050 Cielo Drive august 8th, 1969. Get down! Stay here. Please don’t hurt I won’t me! say anything!

“'The Paranoia Was Fulfilled' – an Analysis of Joan Didion's
“‘THE PARANOIA WAS FULFILLED’ – AN ANALYSIS OF JOAN DIDION’S ESSAY ‘THE WHITE ALBUM’” Rachele Colombo Independent Scholar ABSTRACT This article looks at Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album” from the collection of essays The White Album (1979), as a relevant text to reflect upon America’s turmoil in the sixties, and investigate in particular the subject of paranoia. “The White Album” represents numerous historical events from the 1960s, but the central role is played by the Manson Murders case, which the author considers it to be the sixties’ watershed. This event–along with many others–shaped Didion’s perception of that period, fueling a paranoid tendency that reflected in her writing. Didion appears to be in search of a connection between her growing anxiety and these violent events throughout the whole essay, in an attempt to understand the origin of her paranoia. Indeed, “The White Album” deals with a period in Didion’s life characterized by deep nervousness, caused mainly by her increasing inability to make sense of the events surrounding her, the Manson Murders being the most inexplicable one. Conse- quently, Didion seems to ask whether her anxiety and paranoia are justified by the numerous violent events taking place in the US during the sixties, or if she is giving a paranoid interpretation of com- pletely neutral and common events. Because of her inability to find actual connections between the events surrounding her, in particular political assassinations, Didion realizes she feels she is no longer able to fulfill her main duty as a writer: to tell a story.

Murder, Media, and Mayhem: the Metamorphosis of California Murder Cases to International Media Sensations
Murder, Media, and Mayhem: The Metamorphosis of California Murder Cases to International Media Sensations By: Olivia Cusimano Advisor: Richard Perry Undergraduate Legal Studies Honors Thesis University of California, Berkeley 1 “Sometimes the power of the media, the power of the movie, can be very subtle and great.” -James Blatt, Attorney for Jesse James Hollywood I would like to take a moment to thank all those who helped me take an idea grown while watching Investigation Discovery on the couch and develop it into this project. From the initial guidance of Professor Musheno and Christina Carbone to the astute guidance of my advisor, Professor Perry, I am forever thankful. My family, too, has supported me mentally and even intellectually. To my Aunt Diane, I owe you so much for your direction and insight. I never would have parsed out a coherent thesis without our conversations at The Natural Café. Additionally, a never-ending thanks to those who supported me, made sure I didn’t give up, and listened to my unending laments without disowning me: Kent, Mike, Brendan, Safeena, Dani the entire Student Advocate’s Office, and everyone else who spent any iota of time listening to my laments. 2 Table of Contents I.

The Wrongful Conviction of Charles Milles Manson
45.2LEONETTI_3.1.16 (DO NOT DELETE) 3/12/2016 2:40 PM EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION OF CHARLES MILLES MANSON Carrie Leonetti I. Imagine two crime stories. In the first, a commune of middle class, law-abiding young people living on the outskirts of Los Angeles were brainwashed by a dominating cult leader who ordered his followers to commit murders to usher in an apocalyptic race war. In his subsequent trial, the leader of the “kill-coven”1 engaged in outrageous behavior because he thought that mainstream society was inferior to him and incapable of understanding. In the second, a group of young, middle-class hippies, caught up in the summer of 1969, heavy drug use, and group contagion, committed the same murders. Afraid of the death penalty and having to face public responsibility for their actions, the murderers accused a mentally ill drifter, a delusional schizophrenic, whom the group had adopted as a mascot, of directing the murders. The only significant evidence implicating the drifter in their crimes was their claim that they were “following” him. The claims were given in exchange for leniency and immunity from prosecution for capital murder. Even prosecutors who charged the drifter conceded that he had not actively participated in the murders, proceeding to trial instead on the theory that he had commanded the others to commit the murders like “mindless robots.” The police and prosecutors went along because they wanted to “solve” and “win” the biggest case of their lives. The drifter’s Associate Professor, University of Oregon School of Law.

Great mini book about Susan AtkinsBy rkrystofolskiGreat mini book about Susan Atkins, a Female Manson Family Member and convicted murderer 5 times over. Although not present at the LaBianca double murders, Susan Atkins did participate in the mass murder of 5 people at the Tate Residence and also participated in the murder of a former friend of the Manson Family, Gary Hinman. Along with 2 other Manson Family Members, Mary Brunner and Bobby Beausoil, Susan Atkins held Hinman captive for days and got him to sign over his vehicles before they murdered him, after Charles Manson dropped by and ordered it done.
