So far-
1- FIVE DOWN ON CIELO- Book- Paul Tate- Manuscript exists- Reference- News Reports
2- MANSON'S SECOND IN COMMAND- Book- Paul Watkins- inaccurately titled early draft of MY LIFE WITH CHARLES MANSON- pages exist in the Archives of Aesthetic Nihilism- no idea if a full manuscript exists.....
2b- Screenplay based on Watkins book- never seen- referenced in 1989 by Paul on CNN's Larry King live with Maureen Reagan

Linda's scruples before, during and after the murders, even to the present day as a drug dealer, seem to be more like what I think they are than what you think. She is a thief ($5k from Melton) a 7 time murderess, who left her daughter with killers because she "felt" it would be okay.
No the Family screenplay, which I have read, was based on Sanders mess of a book, not Paul's. There also is a screenplay that I have that is based on Charlie's book- New World wanted to make it in 1989 with the director of STEPFATHER 2 starring Dennis Hopper. I think the screenplay you read was trying to take you through the Family trip via Paul and Mary- Mary comes off quite well in the script- in reality she was a whore and a robber and a gun moll.
If you drove to TWO nights and stuck around while 7 people were butchered and you didn't do jack until they found you and swore out a warrant I promise you sir, PROMISE YOU, you would do major time for murder and we would call you a murderer.
Unless an extremely ambitious prosecutor REALLY REALLY needed your testimony of course.
No
I know Karen Montecillo has one.
I know Tom O'Neill the magazine writer has one.
I know Debra Tate has one.
I want one too.
