Video: Charles Manson Parole Hearing – Parole Denied

The 2011, aged 77 Charles Manson

No surprise that parole was denied.

A prison panel denied parole Wednesday to mass murderer Charles Manson in his 12th and probably final bid for freedom.

Manson, now a gray-bearded, 77-year-old, did not attend the hearing where the parole board ruled he had shown no efforts to rehabilitate himself and would not be eligible for parole for another 15 years.

“This panel can find nothing good as far as suitability factors go,” said John Peck, a member of the panel that met at Corcoran State Prison in Central California.

Also playing heavily into the board’s decision was something Manson had said recently to one of his prison psychologists that Peck read aloud.

“‘I’m special. I’m not like the average inmate,”‘ Peck said. “‘I have spent my life in prison. I have put five people in the grave. I am a very dangerous man.”‘

Peck then spoke for the record directly to Manson, who will receive a transcription of the proceedings: “This panel agrees with that statement.”

The panel deliberated for 20 minutes before making its decision.

Here is the video:

There will probably be no more parole hearings for Charles Manson which is just fine with me and most Californans.

Manson is lucky to be alive, as he really should have been executed decades ago, except for a legal loophole.

    Manson has got to be the most laughable looking person on the planet.
    If there was ever a perfect definition for the word idiot, it has to be Charles Manson.
