Patricia Krenwinkel, a former member of the infamous Manson family, has been granted parole after spending 54 years in prison for her involvement in a series of murders. The decision now awaits approval from Governor Gavin Newsom, who previously reversed a similar decision in 2022. Krenwinkel's attorney argues for her release based on her acceptance of responsibility and rehabilitation efforts. The process requires a 120-day waiting period before a final decision is made by Newsom, who now has 30 days to act on the parole board's recommendation.
"Pat has fully accepted responsibility for everything she did, every twisted philosophy she embraced and endorsed, and every life she destroyed by her actions."
"Krenwinkel was approved for parole Friday, the second time the state's parole board reached that decision during her 54 years in state prison."
