Default Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme to be released

Though probably the majority of the posters on this site have NO idea who this is..I remember it very well.

She was once a member of the Manson family and has spent the last 34 years in prison for pointing a gun at Gerald Ford who was then President.

After 34 years, Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme to be released - CNN.com

Wow, I never thought I'd see this is my lifetime. To think, 34 years for pointing an empty gun at someone...
Wonder if Charlie will ever get out

I seriously doubt any of those involved in the Tate/LaBianca murders will see freedom again.

I don't think he wants out. I have seen one of his parole hearings were he was asked what he would do when he got out. He wants to fly with the angels in LA, after all it is the city of angels.

I thought some of his followers had been released. Am I making that up?

None of the ones charged and convicted in the Tate/LaBianca murders have been released.

Linda Kasabian was charged but became the prosecutions star witness as she is the only one that didn't actually kill anyone.

But the rest..Charles Manson, Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten are all still in prison.

Speaking of "Tex" Watson....here is his prison ministry website.

I had heard he had started a ministry. I didn't realize that they had internet access in prison.

Oh yeah, Pam. There is a website you can sign up to be a pen pal with death row inmates. I saw some report on how one of the women who did that ended up marrying the guy.
