IIRC, the only reason he gets parole hearings in the first place is, when Caliofornia’s Supreme Court declared its death penalty unconstitutional (early 1970s, I believe), by some quirk in California law at the time, all death sentences had to be changed to life with the possibility of parole. (I think this is why Sirhan B. Sirhan gets parole hearings as well.)
IOW somebody wants to fuck the crazy.
But OTOH nobody does.
The amazing thing is both of these are really true. For different definitions of that very versatile word “fuck”. What a language! 
Except the police, prosecutor, judge and prison guards who put you in prison for two years?
That’s the difference of one word. Everyone wants to fuck the crazy, but they don’t want to fuck with it. Ain’t English grand?
They didn’t want to fuck with me, they were there to do their jobs and ensure that I was punished as per the rule of law. I had no hard feelings towards them, and I didn’t give them shit, so they mostly returned the favor. I lawyered up and turned myself in to make a deal, so I suspect I had an easier time going through the system than most.
I thought he was married by now, but apparently the latest engagement was called off. The mind boggles.
I thought he had been transferred to a community hospital. (Prisoners are, if they are too ill to be treated at the prison’s infirmary.)
This book came out a few years ago, and it said that 99%-plus of the people who met him could figure him out the instant they did so. It was that other <1% who enabled him to do what he did.
Aye; that’s what I’m talkin’ 'bout.
Now see, I’d offer Polanski a deal: come, serve your original sentence, and in return we’ll give a baseball bat and five minutes alone with Charles Manson. Think he’d take it?
You don’t think he actually wants out, do you?
Prepare to be further boggled. The reports are that the wedding was called off becuase the fiance was only marrying him in a scheme to gain ownership of Manson’s body after he died, and make lots of money by putting it on display.
Heck, let’s go crazy. He can have 30 minutes and an entire toolbox full of goodies.
Entertainment value?
Color me unboggled.
That is by far the MOST logical and sane reason I can think of to want to marry Manson. It’s all the other reasons that are scary-crazy.

Hrm. I suppose I have a higher threshold than SDMB members who brows MPSIMS. However,the barely lucid ramblings of a lunatic, even this particular flavor,don’t really hold my interest. A person like Manson, whenever they seem like they have a point, and you’re going to refute it, they just switch the goalpost. I had seen it on Court TV years ago, the way he mugs for the camera and says, “Can you believe they’re doing this to me?” And I’m like, you’re Charles Manson, is there anything worthwhile in anything you’d ever say? The 60’s are done. No one drops acid and groves in an abandoned barn. The Weather Underground is gone. The Symbionese Liberation Army is gone. Abbie Hoffman checked out early. Pot is medicine now." None of Charlie’s flavor of 60’s flashback is relevant at all.
I’m given to understand, an uncle, a mountain man, told him to resist authority just for the sake of resistance – considering themselves Confederate Rebels forever. Feh. Compare that with the Dukes of Hazard – first TV show then movie, alt-right groups supporting the president, former Klan in Congress (generally repudiating their former stance,) Occupy Wall Street and then the Branch Dildonian occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.
It would be amusing if Charlie could be dropped in society. But since California hasn’t lost all sanity, its not an option, despite the quixotic nature of the law after death penalty reversion.
And don’t expect too much from Roman Polanski. Yeah, he says he wished he were there. And I bet survivor guilt can do that. But he was already espousing the point that Sharon Ttet’s waifish figure was ruined by pregnancy. No longer to Roman’s taste, it would appear.
Charles Manson, mastermind of 1969 murders, dies at 83
Gravely ill again? If he was into Karma he came back as a fruit fly and will surely be dead again within 24 hours.
Now he’s just “grave.” And one of the best arguments for abortion and the death penalty.
Discussion can continue in the thread opened regarding his death.
