I was pretty disappointed in this book. Karlene Faith relies on an overabundance of clichés and a meager sprinkling of insight into the character of Leslie Van Houten and Van Houtens involvement in the Manson murders. Although published in 2001, the book reads as if it might have been written thirty years ago, at the beginning of the feminist movement. Leslie and her fellow murderesses are given every consideration: they were victims of cultivated femininity, they never lost their innocence, they were so brainwashed they relinquished all control and thought; however, Faith contradicts herself when excusing Leslies involvement in the Manson Family as, ...Although part of his inner circle, Leslie was never part of Mansons inner, INNER circle. She would lapse into thinking for herself.... So in one fell swoop, the author denies Leslies culpability and recognizes it.In spite of that, one gets the feeling that Leslie herself has taken on more responsibility for her involvement than the author gives credit for. What Leslie seems to recognize, which the author does not, is that the Manson murders branded themselves on the American psyche, and society demands a price be paid. The author becomes downright offensive when she coyly alludes to other murders and murderers since then who have not received the notoriety of the Manson girls, suggesting perhaps that we are being a tad unfair in having the audacity to remember the shock and horror of the Tate-LaBianca deaths.The author spends much time on Charles Manson and his responsibility as leader of the cult. What she forgets is that members were free to come and go, and various people DID walk away from Manson and his personality. Faith also takes pains to mark how the Manson girls are exceptional in their good behavior in prison, apparently without noting the irony that they were exceptional members of Mansons inner circle, and before that Van Houten was an exceptional student and twice prom queen. It makes me wonder if these womens ability to get along in the unnatural atmosphere of prison is linked to their ability to have gotten along in the bizarre world of Mansons philosophy...and just how well they would be able to integrate themselves outside of the rigidly controlled environment of prison should any of them meet another guru.In the end, this book gives more insight into the authors embrace of victim ideology, and quite a bit less into the mindset and maturity of a major participant in the crime of the century. I cannot imagine this book helped Leslie Van Houtens case for parole.

    The long Prison Journey of leslie Van Houten: life Beyond the Cult By Kariene Faith Boston: Northeastern University Press (2001), 216 pp. Reviewed by Liz Elliott n the last year of the 1960s, a decade of anomie, the U.S. experienced two I events that would symbolize different aspects of its culture into the next millennium. These events took place at opposite sides of the country, although they occun-ed less than a week apart. One event, a cultural festival of music and arts, has remained in time as an example of the possibilities of peaceful co­ existence in adverse circumstances oflarge numbers ofpeopJe. From August 15th to the 17th the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival's patrons endured rain and mud - and all of the other inconveniences that would reasonably accrue in a situation where unexpected large numbers ofpeople converged in one location -to see some of the decade's masters of rock and roll and folk music perfonn in the state of New York. Almost half a million people, many of whom were experiencing the event under the influence of various illicit drugs, attended Woodstock and lived together peacefhlly for one weekend. 1 Across the continent a few days earlier, the world heard the news of two ten-ible sets of murders in California that shook the sense of security that until then was enjoyed by Americans. We were soon to learn that these bizarre, seemingly ritualistic killings were the bidding of a charismatic but crazy man who was state-raised2 and resourceful. In this case the drugs were used to weaken the already fragile resolve ofyoung idealistic people who were searching for themselves and open to new ways of seeing the world.

President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world. Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie.

  • California Debates Parole for a Member of the Manson Family - the Prindle Post California Debates Parole for a Member of the Manson Family
    8/9/2021 California Debates Parole for a Member of the Manson Family - The Prindle Post California Debates Parole for a Member of the Manson Family By Rachel Robison-Greene - Feb 9, 2018 "Prison Cell" by Aapo Haapanen is licensed under CC BY 2.0 (via Flickr) On the night of August 9, 1969, several young people crept into the Los Angeles home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. At the behest of cult leader Charles Manson, they stabbed the couple to death. Cult member Leslie Van Houten stabbed Rosemary LaBianca fourteen times. The group wrote messages on the wall in the victims’ blood. After she played her part in the murder, Van Houten took a shower, put on one of Rosemary LaBianca’s dresses, and ate some food from the refrigerator. The guilty parties were later arrested and tried, and many viewed Van Houten’s behavior during the trial as tremendously inappropriate. She giggled throughout much of her testimony. She didn’t seem to take any of the proceedings very seriously. She was also clearly still very much under the influence of Manson’s powerful personality —when Manson carved an “X” on his forehead, signaling his symbolic departure from society, Van Houten and other Manson family members followed suit. Van Houten is now a 68-year-old woman serving her sentence at the California Institution For Women in Corona, California. In September 2017, the parole commission recommended Van Houten for parole. On January 19, 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown reversed the commission’s decision. Brown’s decision is very controversial.

Despite the general abhorrence of treason in time of war, the American public opposes criminal liability for such indoctrinated soldiers, yet existing criminal law provides no defense or mitigation because, at the time of the offense, the indoctrinated offender suffers no cognitive or control dysfunction, no mental or emotional impairment, and no external or internal compulsion.

    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives Poetry + Murder, Part 2: My Dance with the Manson Women Sarah Elgart · Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 From 1981 – 1984, as a young and emerging choreographer/director, Sarah Elgart taught dance and created choreography with a small group of maximum-security inmates at California Institution for Women, the state prison. Initially unbeknownst to Elgart, two of the inmates in her class included Patricia Krenwinkel and Susan Atkins of the Manson Family. When each independently elected to participate in the ten- month creation of a movement theater work, the two women had not spoke for ten years. Poetry + Murder recalls the class’s confrontations, obstacles, and epiphanies in creating “Marrying the Hangman”, an award winning work based on the poem by Margaret Atwood, before it went on to be performed via Elgart’s company in the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival. This is the second installment of Poetry + Murder. You can read Part 1 here. Subsequent installments will be featured bi-monthly. Except for Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel (aka Krenny), the names of the inmates have been changed to protect their identities. Photos by Jaeger Smith I was living in downtown LA. At the time, my boyfriend of five years and I were amongst the first to take an empty storefront loft and create a live/work space. He was intelligent, outgoing and gregarious, a type A personality. He was a guy’s guy, and into numbers. He was becoming a developer, he was going to be a millionaire, and he had some art smarts.
