Manson is an interesting case. He got a death sentence. Then California repealed their death penalty. Then California reinstated their Death Penalty. It was decided that Manson's original sentence couldn't be reinstated because that would be the same as upping it for someone who was convicted when death wasn't an option. So he sits there, and every so often he comes up for parole review, and is always turned down. He's probably happy about that, considering how long he would survive on the outside.
My friend Rocky was once having a discussion on the death penalty. He was supporting it and the other person said that the DP isn't really a deterrent, which is arguably true. Rocky's answer to that was "Really? How many women has Ted Bundy killed recently?"
