Charles Manson - Up for Parole / DENIED

One Manson family member convicted of murder in the death of ranch hand Shorty Shea has been paroled. Clem (Steve) Grogan had his death sentence reduced to life in prison when a judge decided he was "too stupid and hopped up on drugs to decide anything on his own." Grogan was reportedly a model inmate who worked to deter juveniles from a life of crime and was paroled back in 85.


Bruce Davis (^ recent inmate photo) was convicted of murder in the deaths of Shorty Shea and musician Gary Hinman, which was later converted to life in prison. Davis was approved for parole last year, but Governor Brown recently reversed the board's grant and denied it (for the third time).
