Charles Manson
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) is an American and was the leader of a group of young followers of both sexes, known as "The Family" in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Manson made the youths of his Family believe his end of the world vision and still has an amount of control over some of the former family members who are still alive. He planned and ordered the Family to commit several brutal murders, most known is the murder of the movie actress Sharon Tate who was pregnant at the time. He was convicted of murder in what came to be known as the "Tate-La Bianca case", named after the victims, but he was not accused of committing the murders in person. He is currently serving a life sentence in a California prison and is up for parole in 2007; due to his violent and crazy behavior, it is very unlikely he will ever be released from prison.
