"Manson family member Patricia Krenwinkel - who broke into the home of a Los Angeles grocer, stabbed him and wrote "Helter Skelter," "Rise" and "Death to Pigs" on the walls with his blood - has been denied parole by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Krenwinkel, 77, was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder for participating in the Manson family slayings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others during a two-day killing spree in 1969."
""She's had nine different and consecutive evaluations from the California Parole Board in which their psychologists for the past 40 years have concluded that she's at low risk of future violence, and California law requires that people who are no longer at risk must be granted parole," he said in an Oct. 1 statement urging Newsom to uphold the Parole Board's decision."
Patricia Krenwinkel, 77, was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder for her role in the 1969 Manson family killings, including the slaying of Sharon Tate. The California Parole Board granted her parole in May, but Gov. Gavin Newsom overruled that decision, stating she still poses an unreasonable danger to society. Krenwinkel has served 56 years in custody, appeared before the Parole Board 16 times, and is California's longest-serving female inmate. Her attorney emphasized her acceptance of responsibility, clean disciplinary record, earned college degrees, and long-term psychological evaluations finding low risk.
