Well, I'm glad someone is glad over her release. But it's not me.
Yes, I agree that the Manson killers were imprisoned a lot longer than other savage murderers in part because of the notoriety of Manson and the Family. Worse killers have been released. But I don't agree with THEIR release either. We have a truly effed up legal systems that allows violent killers to go free.
Have you read some of John Douglas's writing. He was the creator of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (the BAU). He and many law enforcement officials are severely critical of releasing violent criminals. Violent killers are often on their "best behavior" in the controlled, orderly environment of prison. That whole "good behavior" idea is nonsense when it comes to murderers.
So Mrs. La Bianca was "just about dying" so that makes it okay??? Take a moment to really think about the type of person, a young woman who had a nice middle class upbringing, who could be in the middle of all that carnage and act like it was no big deal! She plunged a knife deliberately into a helpless woman over a dozen times. She doesn't deserve to breathe free air ever again.
I have no sympathy for her being "forced" to do what she did because of a reprisal from Tex Watson. Who in hell goes along willingly on a night of killing? I've seen her interviews on TV and she has a calm, matter of fact, so what attitude and a smirky smile. She doesn't ever exhibit a moment of sorrow or regret.
If you're worried about a "business decision", then economically it would have been better for California to carry out their death sentences. But since they were commuted to life in prison, that's what they all should have gotten, LIFE! God knows they took enough lives.
