“Life Without…”
1972…
U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Death Penalty, citing “cruel and unusual punishment”…
ALL Death Row convicts’ sentences were immediately commuted to the next available sentence, which at that time was “Life, WITH the Possibility of Parole”, simply because in 1972 there was no Life WITHOUT…
And thereafter, the seeds were sewn for endless rounds of Parole Hearings for all concerned, 1st degree killers of all kinds, including the Manson Family killers.
Many affected by this new ruling, of course, eventually gained their release, with what was considered the proper amount of time served, their behaviour while incarcerated and their demonstration of remorse and rehabilitation while serving their time.
None of the Manson Family killers were given release dates, despite the fact that they began their Parole quest as early as 1978.

Glad to be of some service to you!
We have all come to this story from varying points of views and experiences but we all seem to stick with the story for the same reason...to answer the "Why" question, I think...
All murders have the need for this question to be answered but the "Why?" for this set of events and these people locked in an era that was anything but the norm begs for a lifetimes work of searching, doesn't it?
We at TLB2 may not get any closer than the rest in uncovering the "Why?" but we sure as Hell are stupid enough to try. For us, maybe it's not the goal of gleaning a full answer but more living through the journey on the way to the answer which is ultimately important.
Wanna take a ride with us desertflower? OF COURSE you do! (wink, wink)
We're super glad to have you! :D

Hold on...the ride could get bumpy ya know! (wink, wink)
Squeaky is in upstate New York. Besides the initial press releases from that town, everything has been dead quiet. She DID however have a few minutes phone call from Charlie from Corcoran, where she just plainly said she did NOT want to talk to him.
I've not as yet covered Squeaky on here, desertflower, as I've not covered allot of the players...kind of going through each one by one, in depth, so have nothing to offer you at this point.
I DO have a post on her past partner-in-crime, Sandy, if you so desire. Here is the link to that one>>>http://2ndofficialtate-labiancamurdersblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/forgiving-sandra-goodsome-are-better-it.html
