TL;DR Summary

California Governor Gavin Newsom will not contest a court's decision to allow parole for Leslie Van Houten, a former follower of Charles Manson. Van Houten, who is serving a life sentence for her involvement in the 1969 murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, has been recommended for parole multiple times but was denied by previous governors. Newsom's decision brings Van Houten closer to potential release after more than 50 years in prison.
