I read women prisoners used to be able to color their hair and use make up, but that changed several years ago. Didn't realize there were also rules about hairstyles. I just wonder about basics though, you know. What would a little moisturizer hurt.

Denials are overturned on appeal, governor reversals have been overturned, decisions reinstated...<br /><br />I don't believe these women have suffered injustice...going back to the California Supreme Court overturning Leslie Van Houten's original convictions, she's had plenty of justice. Maybe she'll succeed in Federal Court.<br />In their (the women's) cases, it seems the 'some evidence to support heinous and callous' always comes back to multiple victims and 'inexplicable' motive. <br /><br />And honestly, Matt, I'm not trying to be obstinate here, but with PK's 'i wanted him to love me'...i understand she was talking about 1969...my disappointment is in wondering if she says "I got a knife, I was a willing to get in that car, I saw Tex kill that young man and didn't get the hell out of there, I helped tie them up, i heard Tex say you're all gonna die, I hissed 'kill her', I chased Abigail and stabbed her over and over again, I did those things all by myself. No one held a gun to my head. And I did it again the next night too, I stabbed a terrified woman til my knife bent and then I shoved a fork in a dead man's gut just so I could stare at it and watch it move. And THEN...I wrote all over the walls in their blood. She's right she was a monster, but the i did it so he'd love me is such bs, it's not accountability. In fairness though, i'd really love to read the entire transcript of this current hearing.<br /><br />~MarlieseMarliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920353129039798997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-76041230379330660132011-01-23T07:38:32.336-08:002011-01-23T07:38:32.336-08:00P.S.- I read in john Waters book that they dont ev...P.S.- I read in john Waters book that they dont even let Leslie wear her hair the way she wants, so that why there long Grey ponytail at the parole hearings...<br /><br />But then I have also seen pics of Susan and LULU that look like Glamour shots lol- so I am not sure what the rules are regarding personal grooming..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-40216915824587526162011-01-23T07:36:22.437-08:002011-01-23T07:36:22.437-08:00Go JETS MATT :) Hope your having a great weekend...Go JETS MATT :) Hope your having a great weekend Marliese...<br /><br />I guess my own feelings about there eligibility will have to wait until I am sure exactly what the law says regarding the circumstances we have been talking about. <br /><br />But Col is right- despite what the law says, and what I think lol...<br /><br />right or wrong- I dont think any of them are ever leaving alive.<br /><br />It will be for us to debate why, and fair or foul...<br /><br />Have a great Sunday all... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-46418365258739103032011-01-23T05:36:44.461-08:002011-01-23T05:36:44.461-08:00Hi Marliese,

They aren't and the state of CA turns a blind eye.<br /><br />In civilized society of you turn a blind eye to "injustice", you could be next.<br /><br />Also, when she says "I wanted him to love me", she's telling the truth based on what she felt <b><i>at the time (1969)</i></b>. I didn't read into that that she was trying to <b><i>justify</i></b> her actions in any way in today's context.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766282574442161929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-37890706375003413182011-01-23T00:45:14.196-08:002011-01-23T00:45:14.196-08:00St. Circumstance, that's how i feel also...if ...St. Circumstance, that's how i feel also...if these crimes are not enough to keep them in prison for life, then what would be? <br /><br />I don't understand the idea that a vengeful society is keeping them in prison for life...they deserve it...nearly 42 years later, and she's still saying i did it so he would love me. <br /><br />She's looks ancient. Guess the women prisoners aren't allowed even basic skin care items. An old woman in prison. By the way she's aging, I wonder about her health. Maybe that's what the board meant by if your situation changes you can apply earlier...if she gets sick...? <br /> <br /><br />~MarlieseMarliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920353129039798997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-45203624694322008992011-01-22T23:59:00.899-08:002011-01-22T23:59:00.899-08:00Hi St. Circumstance, thanks but I'm finding mo...Hi St. Circumstance, thanks but I'm finding more that may not support it...<br /><br />"although the heinousness of the crimes alone may constitute a sufficient basis for denying parole (In re Rosenkrantz, supra, 29 Cal.4th at p. 683; In re Dannenberg, supra, 34 Cal.4th at pp. 1094-1095), that is true only in a case where the particularly egregious nature of the commitment offense reasonably suggests that “the prisoner who committed it is presently too dangerous” to be released on parole. (In re Danenberg, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 1080) ~ from the Avalos 2006 appeal...where the board found the prisoner suitable, the Governor reversed the board's decision based on the heinous nature of the crime, the appeals court overturned the governor and reinstated the parole board finding of suitability. <br /><br />I need to research dates into the correct order, and credit sources, but just wanted to quickly let you know...it seems the commitment crimes may be considered but have to connect to the present threat to society.<br /><br />That must be why the parole decisions always include the facts of why the crimes were especially heinous, and then 'would pose a risk to society.' <br /><br />I feel sick about the idea that it's vengeance keeping these people from parole, or that Patricia Krenwinkel is a political prisoner. So Tex too? <br /><br /><br />~MarlieseMarliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920353129039798997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-31849428939701015922011-01-22T11:56:29.410-08:002011-01-22T11:56:29.410-08:00Hey Brian!!

So yeah, I can google and...Matt, false pretenses? <br /><br />So yeah, I can google and find out about appeals rulings...<br /> <br />When Leslie Van Houten sued with the argument that the parole board "failed to balance the heinousness of the crimes with her efforts at rehabilitation" the ruling stated that as long as there is "some evidence" to support cruel and callous multiple felony murder with inexplicable motive and mutilated victims, denial can come "solely from a review of the circumstances of the crime." <br /><br />The idea that Pat Krenwinkel is being held on 'false pretenses' I think is insulting to the suffering of her victims, and insulting to people in the world being held without a fair trial (let alone three for LVH, and a reprieve from the death sentences handed down to the rest of them) that haven't stabbed other human beings til the victim soaked in her own blood says 'i'm already dead' or abusing and cutting up people in their own homes with knives and carving forks for no truthful motive...even 40 years later there isn't clear truth.<br /><br />There is horrifying injustice in the world, but I don't believe it's being suffered by Pat Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten, or that they're being held, so to speak, on false pretenses. What is false? If not their crimes, then parole suitability criteria? <br /><br />Maybe I'm naive for believing that appeals court have ruled fairly in these instances...regarding LVH.<br /><br /><br />~MarlieseMarliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920353129039798997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-77449988775958404642011-01-22T07:17:51.161-08:002011-01-22T07:17:51.161-08:00Hello to Everyone !

Great an...Hello to Everyone ! <br /><br />Great post Col ! <br /><br />Great analogies !<br /><br />Catch-22 is right on. <br /><br />DA Sequeira said if PK had any remorse she wouldn't come to the hearings.<br /><br />Loved your reference to the Monkey Boy ! As funny as that was that probably did or does hurt Van Houten. In addition, How about LVH's marriage or engagement to that ex con guy they found with items they thought to help LVH escape. I know LVH was supposedly not knowing of this, but I wonder if they look at that too. ?<br /><br />Col, a couple of questions for you regarding this post if you get the time and don't mind, thanks,<br /><br />- <b>"The BUG testified under oath that he didn't bring the LA TIMES with the Nixon headline into the courtroom. He did."</b><br /><br />Col, why do you think Bugs would do this ? I would think that would possibly work in Manson's favor.<br />And it almost did. <br /><br />-<b>Bobby would like to be out but that whole story is so confused who knows.</b><br /><br />Col, Have you changed your viewpoint or opinion about BB ?<br />If so, please elaborate in a future post.<br /><br />Thanks again Col !Brian Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846299736165215660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-70887795568878827592011-01-21T09:23:02.470-08:002011-01-21T09:23:02.470-08:00I agree, Pristash.

Current politics dictates retribution so they are denied parole on false pretenses because there is no real oversight to make sure the CA parole board follows the law. No one wants to be "the one" who let them out. So, they hide behind "she's not remorseful enough".<br /><br />If Bruce's parole hearing dragged into Jerry Brown's administration I bet he'd be out.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766282574442161929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-69147982576722052812011-01-21T07:39:13.875-08:002011-01-21T07:39:13.875-08:00Col- isnt that sort of what Morgan Freeman did at...Col- isnt that sort of what Morgan Freeman did at the end of Shawshank redemption lol ???<br /><br />Very interested to hear what you think of the book...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-57341387006834202042011-01-21T06:47:33.570-08:002011-01-21T06:47:33.570-08:00The reason Bugliosi thought they would be out in 2...The reason Bugliosi thought they would be out in 20 or 25 years is because back then there was an actual culture of rehabilitation, where the penal system allowed for those deemed sufficently so to re-enter society at large.
