Nobody suggests we release him, he is an absolute scumbag, but why use the death penalty on somebody who has never even taken a life themselves?
I mean, these were adult women, not children who did the murders.

I, too, have been fascinated with Manson for many years. While I think that Charlie is mentally ill, it amazes me that he is still in prison at all. He was convicted of his crimes and has sat in prison all these years. In my opinion, if his name wasn't Charles Manson, he most likely would have been paroled by now. There have been many more much more horrific crimes over the years, and those peolple have gotten out. Case in point, the assassin of Robert Kennedy. Also, the man who shot Reagan. I just think that if the name Manson weren't synonimous with evil, he maybe wouldn't be sitting in prison still.
It's pretty clear he has no desire to be out. He was raised in institutions, and institutions are where he feels safest. He gets 3 square meals and a bed, and nobody's going to mess with him because he's Charlie Manson.

Well no matter what I'm fairly sure that he has never made any attempt at getting out thru parole. The things he says at the hearings are enough to get him convicted all over again.
He's sentenced to life and that's what he'll do if he keeps telling the board he didn't kill enough of us. What a maniac.
To tell you the truth no matter his intellect and the fascination.
All that aside he is a maniac.
Just can't see him walk'in down the street no matter how old he gets.

Yeah he is a scumbag.
All because he was an orphan with no home and so they threw him in jail at that early age. He was raised in jail, by all the other scumbags, most likely through rape.
He is a product of our society.
It's all really sad if you think about it.
