Sharon Tate Killer Charles Manson | 03/19/2009 9:35 am

Ahead of 40th Anniversary, Sharon Tate Killer Charles Manson Shows His Face

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Charles Manson is showing his face — from the inside of his California prison cell, that is.

The man who helped kill seven people in August 1969, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate, is now 74 years old. California corrections officials released a new photo of him, that shows him balding with a gray beard. But he still has that easily recognizable swastika on his forehead. The latest photo comes ahead of the 40th anniversary of the "Manson Family" killings. Manson was last denied parole in May of 2007, since he "continues to pose an unreasonable danger to others and may still bring harm to anyone he would come in contact with."

Manson and the "Manson Family" — Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Charles "Tex" Watson and Leslie Van Houten — were convicted of murder and other charges after a two-night killing spree aimed at inciting a race war. All of them are still in prison. Atkins, California’s longest-serving female inmate who wrote "PIG" in blood on Tate’s front door years ago, last summer requested a "compassionate release" from prison since she is terminally ill. She was denied.

As for Manson — he still has those dead, chilling eyes.

The death penalty should have been instituted just to rid society of this montrous worthless trash!

Death is too good for him, he should of been tortured first.  What a waste of human life.

WoW  !!!   Did he get old.  His weird eyes are not as threatening any more, just sad old man’s eyes.  Tatoo is still there, though.

Why is an article on Charles Manson appearing on Wow?  Because he killed a pregnant woman and her child?  Because he evilly manipulated several women to go and kill for him?  It is not current or relevant news.  Can we get away from these types of headlines on Wow?
