California Parole Board Recommends Release for 78-Year-Old Manson Follower Patricia Krenwinkel

Patricia Krenwinkel, 78, has been preliminarily granted parole for the third time by the California Board of Parole Hearings after nearly six decades in prison. Convicted in 1971 for her role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, Krenwinkel is the state’s longest-serving female inmate. The grant is subject to a 120-day review by the board and a subsequent 30-day review by Governor Gavin Newsom, who has previously reversed two parole grants for her. While her attorneys cite extensive rehabilitation and low risk assessments, victims’ families and prosecutors oppose her release, citing the brutality of the crimes and perceived political pressure on the governor.
