Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) was convicted of murder in what became known as the "Tate-La Bianca case," after Sharon Tate and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca —victims in two separate mass murders carried out by Manson's followers.Manson was the leader of a group of young followers of both sexes,
known as "The Family", and had planned and ordered the murders, although he was not accused of committing them in person.
During the trial, evidence was accepted that Manson recruited and gained the trust of impressionable
young people, who were typically estranged from their families or were otherwise seeking affection and support. Through his
personal charisma and use of sex, drugs, and pseudo-religious mantras, Manson was able to gain a deep control over his followers, to the degree that they had even grown to
believe that he was Jesus.Manson began discussing his theory of "Helter Skelter", the ultimate race war he claimed was being prophesied by the music of The Beatles. In 1969, he told his followers that it was time to start "Helter Skelter", which he believed he could incite
by gruesomely murdering prominent white people and leaving clues which implicated the Black Panthers. Over two nights in August 1969, his followers murdered seven people in Los Angeles, California, including the movie actress Sharon Tate, who was eight months pregnant. The murder case and subsequent trial were major news stories throughout the world because of the high
profile victims, the brutality of the killings, and the unique backgrounds of the people accused of killing themManson and
several of his followers were found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. However, the sentence was commuted when California repealed the death sentence. The death penalty was since reinstituted, but the appeal effectively meant the sentence would be commuted for those convicted before the repeal.
