I was 14 when these murders happened. They and their aftermath were in the forefront of the nation's conscienceness for a very long time. In an era that was supposed to be about love, free spirit, yada yada, this destroyed a lot of that idealism, made everyone look at things differently, begat a level of distrust and fear of anyone not deemed "normal".
If anyone gets their hands on a copy, read "Helter Skelter", the book about the murders, the trials, the people involved.
Those that did the actions still claim to have been "under the influence" of another and take little if any responsibility for anything they've done. A born-again Christian? Bah.
If she's got just a few months to live, let her do it in her current home-her cell. I'm a very compassionate person, but this doesn't deserve compassion.
