[Lady Cop]

You're probably right.

Sharon Tate's sister was hoping that she had made her last trip to the parole hearing to oppose his release.

He's been incarcerated for most of his late teen and adult life, he has food and shelter, and he's in a protected ward (with Juan Corona who raped and murdered 25 migrant workers in 1971, and John Gardner who killed Amber DuBois and Chelsea King a couple of year back). He has access to health care on-site, something many of my elderly clients don't have. He was able to acquire contraband cell phones a couple of years back and was communicating with 3 different people before he was caught. He got 30 days added to his life sentence as punishment (what a deterrent).

Manson is the epitome of "institutionalized". He'll be 92 when his next parole hearing is scheduled. I'll be disappointed if he's not dead before then, but not terribly surprised.

Considering the guy has nothing to lose im surprised he hasn't tried to do more crazy things.

Charlie didn't kill anybody.

Neither did Hitler! He ordered the killings.

Are you both absolutely sure or are you guessing?

Charlie's Engaged!


79-year-old Charles Manson and his fiancee Afton Burton (aka "Star), 25.

Afton Burton was 16 and living with her parents in Illinois when she discovered Charles Manson. Now, nine years later, her name is Star, she's 25 years old, and she considers herself Charles Manson's wife, even though it isn't official yet.

"He filed for the first round of paperwork," says Star, who says she's in love with the 79-year-old convicted murderer. "I'm completely with him, and he's completely with me. It's what I was born for, you know. I don't know what else to say."

Star says she was first attracted to Manson after reading about ATWA, Manson's environmental philosophy that stands for air, trees, water, animals. "It's the life on the planet, you know," Star says. "The Earth is a rock and everything else on it is ATWA."

She talks to Manson almost every day by phone and visits him on most weekends. "We talk about anything and everything, you know, like what's going' on today-- who's doing what. I try to help him file papers and stuff like that," the slender brunette says.

The prison limits physical contact. During visits, Star and Manson can only hug each other at the beginning and end. Because Manson is serving a life sentence, they won't be allowed conjugal visits, even if they're officially married.

Star says she knows people think she's crazy. "I don't care what those kind of people think. It doesn't make any difference," she says. "The man that I know is not what they have in the movies or in documentaries and the books. He's nothing like that. He doesn't tell people what to do. He's not manipulative at all."

Star spends her days painting and maintaining several of Manson's social media sites, including MansonDirect.com. Her goal is to try to get Manson out of prison, arguing that he had nothing to do with the seven Tate-LaBianca murders that he was convicted of masterminding.

Star is fiercely loyal to Manson. She still has a scar from when she shaved her head and carved an X in her forehead two years ago, an act similar to what girls in the so-called Manson Family did during his 1971 trial. She says she did it at Manson's request as a protest after he was put in solitary confinement.

Critics believe Star is being manipulated by Manson, and that ATWA is just a ploy to get young people like her to pay attention to him. "The only thing that he's trying to manipulate people into doing is planting trees and cleaning up the Earth. He genuinely cares about that," says Star. "He's nice to everyone. I've never seen him try to be manipulative. I've never seen any of that."

Star says Manson, who turns 80 in November, is in good health, and she doesn't think about what she plans to do with her life after he's gone.

================================================

She's either one loopy open-hearted tree-hugger, or one crafty forward-looking con woman, IMO. Manson is unable to profit from his crimes, by law, but she's not -- and her fiance still makes headlines (obviously).

[Duchess]

How needy do you have to be to fall for a monster. Jesus. Stupid cow.

[aussiefriend]

He looks like the devil. After all these years, he hasn't changed. There is no way he will ever get out.

[Duchess]

He's made a life for himself in there & that's exactly what that twat Jodi will do if she's given a chance.

[aussiefriend]

It makes you wonder how someone like that and Drew Peterson can get women who want to marry them and then Travis gets lumbered with someone like Jodi. I mean, why doesn't Jodi and Charlie get together, I would be fine with that.

That girl who is with Manson is a whole new breed of stupidity.

[Maggot]

He looks healthy.

[Duchess]

That's what I thought too. He looks pretty damn good for pushin' 80.

Sorry, Duchess, he's not allowed conjugal visits and he may be off the market soon anyway.

He got the marriage license!

He looks stoked.



Charlie and Star have 90 days to tie the knot; that's when the license expires.

The happy couple get to have up to 10 people at their nuptials (whatchya wanna bet they'll all be media reporters, if they actually get married).

Sadly enough, he won't be allowed to leave his permanent residence for a honeymoon or off-site reception or anything like that.

Star says she loves Manson and being next of kin will allow her access to information she needs to get him a new trial; he will be proven innocent. I do not know if she plans on wearing white, but I think she has a bridal registry at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

It's a beautiful May/December romance story...

Excuse me why I go and

[Maggot]

Take that swastika out between his lookers and he looks like a guy I know.

[username]

Well, aren't they a cute looking couple...







ETA: Oops. I just saw that HotD already posted a pic. Never mind...move along...nothing new to see here.

[Duchess]

I think she sorta looks like one of his girls from back in the day. They are all so old now.

Right? I thought the same thing. She looks like someone right out of the 60's/70's. Twiggy.

Susan Atkin's...one of Manson's followers. [insert Twilight music].

[FAHQTOO]

WTF is wrong with a woman that would do this? It makes me embarrassed to be a female when I see this stupid shit.

Crazy bitches.
