So what do we think? Has she "served her time"? Should she be released? Personally I say no way, no how. I know she was young. I know she is rehabilitated. But the Manson crimes are among the worst in our country's history. What she did to Mrs. LaBianca IMO prohibited her from ever having the luxury of a day of freedom.
LOS ANGELES — Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten is getting another chance at getting out of prison following a years-long saga that has seen a board recommend her parole three separate times.
Van Houten's case is being heard before California's 2nd District Court of Appeal, which will consider whether to overturn a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge's ruling denying parole for Van Houten last year.
Van Houten's attorney, Rich Pfeiffer, will argue that his 69-year-old client deserves to be released because she's a changed woman, takes responsibility for her actions and has been a model inmate for more than four decades. Prosecutors will continue to vigorously fight Van Houten's release because of the seriousness of the crimes.
