Patricia Krenwinkel, serving a 56-year sentence for her role in the Manson family murders, has been recommended for parole after 16 hearings. Now 77, Krenwinkel's case reflects both her personal growth and systemic challenges within California's legal framework. Despite being deemed suitable for release by the Board of Parole Hearings, Krenwinkel faces potential political roadblocks as the governor retains veto power over parole decisions in high-profile cases. Advocates highlight her transformation and argue for recognition of her ability to change, emphasizing the complexities of the justice system surrounding notorious crime figures.
Pat grew up in prison, and she is such a sweet, humble, kind, communicative person.
Commissioners recognized her growth over more than five decades and concluded she is not a danger to society.
