    Van Houten was denied parole for the nineteenth time.

    A parole board has denied freedom for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten for the 19th time.

    Van Houten was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the August 1969 slayings of wealthy grocers Leno and Rosemary La Bianca.

    That was one night after actress Sharon Tate and four others were killed. Van Houten did not participate in the Tate slayings.

    Charles Manson and the rest of them, including Van Houten should stay the rest of their lives in prison.

    Leslie Van Houten was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the killings of wealthy grocers. The La Biancas were killed by stabbing to death in August 1969 just a night after the killings of actress Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Voityck frykowski and Steven Parent.

    Leslie Van Houten was not involved in the first night killings but she went along other cult members when La Biancas were killed. Leslie Van Houten confessed that she joined in stabbing Mrs. Rosemary La Bianca.
    Mason cult killings became one the most notorious murder cases of the 20th century and it rivet the pubic attention even after more than four decades.

    But, Carly Fiorina will be back on the campaign trail in a few days.

    Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is recovering today from her final reconstructive surgery related to her breast cancer treatment, according to a statement from her campaign.

    “A quick recovery is expected, and Carly is looking forward to being back on the campaign trail in a matter of days,” chief of staff Deborah Bowker said in a statement.

    Fiorina, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2009, underwent chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and radiation as part of her treatment. She has been cleared of cancer by her doctors since finishing her treatment in October, the campaign said.

    “Carly is in good spirits and is happy to have concluded this difficult chapter in her life,” Bowker said. “She is thankful to her family, friends and the many people who have supported her throughout this successful battle.

    I think everyone is wishing her a speedy recovery.
