Charles Manson in the '60s
California corrections officials released a photograph taken Wednesday of aging convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, replete with receding hairline, fading forehead swastika carving and a thick, heavily graying beard.
The photograph of the 74-year-old cult leader was taken at Corcoran State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence, and is part of periodic updates of inmate images by prison officials, said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The 40th anniversary of the Manson killings is in August. Manson and other members of his so-called family were convicted of killing actress Sharon Tate and six other people during a bloody rampage in the Los Angeles area during two August nights in 1969. Prosecutors said that Manson and his followers were trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesied in the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, was 8 1/2 months' pregnant when she was killed at her hilltop home in Benedict Canyon on Aug. 9, 1969. Besides Tate, four others were stabbed and shot to death: Jay Sebring, 35; Voytek Frykowski, 32; Abigail Folger, 25, a coffee heiress; and Steven Parent, 18, a friend of Tate's caretaker. The word "Pig" was written on the front door in blood. The next night, Manson rode along with his followers to the Los Feliz home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, then left three to kill the couple.
Manson has made 11 failed bids for parole since 1978, the last in 2007, when he was ordered to continue serving life sentences. Manson's next parole hearing is scheduled for 2012.

-
I first thought he was going to be released.
-
It's always weird to me to see old dudes that have commited crazy crimes. It just seems surreal. The guy looks like he should be playing bocce ball at the park, not that he killed ( or was responsible more like) a bunch of people.
-
why was he never sentenced to death? They killed a lot of people for less than that in californian prisons
-
He was sentenced to death, but when the death penalty was banned for a while in CA it he was given life instead.
-
I don't support the death penalty but that piece of shit should be rotting in hell.
-
He looks like a guy i would want to sit down with over a hot cup of tea and discuss various things with.
:baseballbat:

Manson is a very intelligent guy, just a bit misguided. He had an IQ of 121 as a kid yet he was illiterate. But he had numerous fucked up things happen to him at an early age. Check this shit out from wiki:
Childhood
According to Manson, his mother, allegedly a heavy drinker,[6] once sold him for a pitcher of beer to a childless waitress, from whom his uncle retrieved him some days later.[11] When his mother and her brother were sentenced to five years imprisonment for robbing a Charleston, West Virginia, service station in 1939, Manson was placed in the home of an aunt and uncle in McMechen, West Virginia. Upon his mother's 1942 parole, Manson was retrieved by his mother and lived with her in run-down hotel rooms.[6] He would one day characterize her physical embrace of him on the day she returned from prison as his sole childhood joy.[11]
In 1947, Kathleen Maddox tried to have her son placed in a foster home but failed because no such home was available.[6] The court placed Manson in Gibault School for Boys, in Terre Haute, Indiana. After 10 months, he fled from there to his mother, who rejected him.[6]
First offenses
By burgling a grocery store, Manson obtained cash that enabled him to rent a room.[6] A string of burglaries of other stores, from one of which he stole a bicycle, ended when he was caught in the act and sent to an Indianapolis juvenile center. His escape after one day led to his recapture and his placement in Boys Town, from which he escaped with another boy four days after his arrival. The pair committed two armed robberies on their way to the home of the other boy's uncle.[12]
Caught during the second of two subsequent break-ins of grocery stores, Manson was sent, at age 13, to the Indiana School for Boys, where, he would later claim, he was brutalized sexually and otherwise.[11] After many failed attempts, he escaped with two other boys in 1951.[12]
In Utah, having burgled gas stations all along the way, the three were caught driving to California in cars they had stolen. For the federal crime of taking a stolen car across a state line, Manson was sent to the Washington, D.C., National Training School for Boys. Despite four years of schooling and an average I.Q. of 109 (later tested at 121),[12] he was illiterate. "He was, the caseworker concluded, aggressively antisocial."[12]
He actually made some really good music as well.
Wow, just realized he has the same birthday as me (Nov 12) and was born in the same city (Cincinnati) :laugh:
