Should have executed him long ago.

A bit of research will convince you of his culpability and his co-defendants death warrents.

Oh, no question he was sentenced to death. But then Cantafordya rescinded the death penalty, so he was commuted to life. When they reinstated it the courts decided that the sentence couldn't be retroactively uncommuted.

Well they gave him another 30 days on his sentence.
That ought to teach him a lesson.

True true.

So what kind of reprimand is he going to get?
"Bad Charlie! Bad, Bad Charlie!"

"Hello?"

"This is Charles Manson."

"Yeah, right!"

"No, this really is Charles Manson."

"Doug, is that you? I hate Marilyn Manson!"

"No, this is Charles Manson!"

"Who?"

"Charles Manson."

"Never heard of you."

"I want to kill you."

"No, Doug, I'm gonna kill you if you don't quit screwing around!"

I'm not familiar with that aspect of the case against Manson (or much else about him other than his followers killed a bunch of people) but wouldn't that be a case of Expost Facto? Don't criminals sentenced under one law remain sentenced even if the laws are rewritten and vice versa (ie one who commits what is later deemed a criminal act cannot be prosecuted as there was no law at the time)?

When the death penalty was rescinded in 1972 several inmates on death row had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment, including Manson and Sirhan Sirhan, who had assassinated Robert Kennedy. When the death penalty was reinstated it was recognized that someone serving a life sentence could not be upgraded to death, even if that had been their former status.

oh interesting, I thought that the decision from '72 put off all prisoners from death row who sat there at this time, a quasi-amnesty. This seems to be the case only in some states.

I'm pretty sure any similar law would have the same result but the 1972 law was created in California for California, and had no effect on the rest of the United States.
