  • 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.

  • Manson Girls Escape Attempt Poster
    Manson Girls Escape Attempt from SBI By Deputy Chris Miller (retired) Los Angeles Sheriff’s Museum Charles Manson was a career criminal and drug user who dealt in stolen cars and car parts. He believed that a race war, which he referred to as “Helter Skelter,” was going to occur in the near future. Manson was an expert at manipulating others to commit crimes. He decided that his followers should murder Caucasians and make it appear as if they were killed by blacks so that it would expedite the race war. To start the race war off, he convinced some of his followers to kill actress Sharon Tate and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Manson was arrested for conspiracy to commit murder for conspiring with his followers to commit these killings. Three of the Manson Girls, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten, and Patricia Krenwinkel were arrested and confined in the Sybil Brand Institute for Women while they were on trial for murder. When the three Manson girls arrived at the Sybil Brand Institute for Women known as SBI, Deputy Sheryl Endresen was working there as a senior deputy. She supervised the deputies who worked the module that housed the Manson girls. The three girls were housed in separate cell blocks until they were sentenced. Once they started receiving publicity on T.V., and in the newspapers for the murders they committed, the girls started acting differently. They walked around like they were super stars, bragged about the killings they were involved in and what a rush it was to stab someone.

Three young girls dance down the hallway of the Superior Court Building in Los Angeles, holding hands and singing one of Charlie's songs. They might be on their way to a birthday party in their short, crisp cotton dresses, but, actually they are attending a preliminary hearing to a murder trial. A middle-aged lady in Bel Air wants to "mother" Charlie, and two little girls send a letter to him in jail. "At first we thought you were guilty. But then we read in the papers about these kids who were stabbed to death in the same way as the Sharon Tate murders. We knew you hadn't done it because you were in jail at the time. We knew you hadn't done it anyway when we saw your face in the newspaper. "Love . " Charlie gets letters from little girls every day. They come from New Hampshire, Minnesota, Los Angeles.

  • Examining Rationales for Incarcerating Aging and Infirm Criminals
    MCCARTEN.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/30/2019 8:59 AM JAILED WHILE FRAIL: EXAMINING RATIONALES FOR INCARCERATING AGING AND INFIRM CRIMINALS Grace McCarten* As the aging population in the United States increases, the number of elderly criminals also rises. The four theories of criminal punishment play an important role in sentencing decisions for elderly offenders. Given the physiological changes that accompany aging, current prisons are not fully equipped to handle the health and care concerns of elderly inmates. There is an emerging need to analyze whether longer sentences truly serve to deter and rehabilitate elderly offenders. This Note examines the various judicial considerations that inform sentencing decisions under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and case law, the increased costs associated with caring for elderly offenders, and the role of the four theories of punishment. This Note recommends that an offender’s age and mental and physical condition be afforded more consideration in sentencing decisions, similar to how juvenile delinquency cases are handled. This Note further recommends the implementation of alternative treatment programs for elderly offenders, targeting individualized treatment for offender rehabilitation. I. Introduction Until recently, scholars and the public have paid little attention to elderly criminals. Scholarly focus was largely geared towards the vic- timization of older people.1 As the prevalence of elderly criminals broke into public and scholarly discourse, the care of and increasing number Grace McCarten is the Editor-in-Chief 2018–2019, Member 2017–2018, The Elder Law Journal; J.D. 2019, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; B.A. 2016, Sociology, Illi- nois Wesleyan University. 1.

  • An Excerpt from the False Prophet Azazel by John of the Gentiles
    An Excerpt from The False Prophet Azazel by John of the Gentiles Charles Manson, whose nickname was ‘The Wizard,’ he being heavily into black magic and witchcraft, was himself a friend of Dennis Wilson, founding member and drummer for The Beach Boys with Wilson at one point even hosting members of the murderous Manson Family in his home. Family-member Susan Atkins has written in Child of Satan, Child of God: “…we spent a lot of time at Dennis’ house on Sunset Boulevard. Large numbers of us lived there for irregular, but sometimes lengthly, periods.” Tex Watson, Charles Manson’s ‘right hand man,’ in his biography, Will You Die for Me? describes the scene at the home of Dennis Wilson: “People came and went, a peculiar mix of young dropouts like me, drug dealers, and people in the entertainment business. It was a strange time in Hollywood. It had become chic to play the hippie game, and the children of the big stars partied with gurus like Dean (Moorehouse) and Charlie (Manson) and listened to them and bought drugs from them and took hippie kids to bed and let them drive their expensive cars and crash in their Bel Air mansions (to this list of movie star’s children must be added the daughter of Rat Pack member Dean Martin. As we learn from Ed Sanders in The Process: “Manson…once gave Dean Martin’s daughter a ring at Dennis Wilson’s beachhouse.”). Everyone felt aware and free…life was one big party. Rock musicians and hopeful singers like Charlie (Manson), actors and hopeful actors, girls who didn’t do anything, producers like Terry Melcher (Doris Day’s son), talent people, managers like Gregg Jakobson (Jakobson was a friend of Charles Manson), and stars’ children would all come over to the house and it would be a drug circus.

    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.
