as a matter of fact. Both CA Governors Brown and Newsom denied her parole...

"On November 9, 2021, Van Houten was again recommended for parole by a parole board. On March 29, 2022, Governor Newsom again overruled the parole board's recommendation."

"On May 30, 2023, a California Court of Appeal in Los Angeles set aside Governor Newsom's denial of Van Houten's parole, thus making her the first Manson family member to have a court rule in her favor for a parole recommendation. On July 7, 2023, Newsom announced that he would not file an appeal with the California Supreme Court to block her parole, paving the way for her release. Van Houten was released on parole on July 11, 2023, after serving over 52 years in prison."

I was pissed off about this at the time and I still am!
