Court Rules Manson Family Member Leslie Van Houten Eligible for Parole
TL;DR Summary
Leslie Van Houten, a former Charles Manson follower who was sentenced to life in prison for a 1969 double murder, could soon be released on parole after a California appeals court overturned Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision denying her release. The court ruled that there is no evidence to support the governor’s conclusion that Van Houten posed an “unreasonable danger to society if released from prison.” Van Houten has spent more than half of her life in prison for her part in the murder of Rosemary and Leno La Bianca.
