One of Charles Manson’s accomplices has been recommended for parole after serving decades in prison for her role in the 1969 murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others in California.
A state parole board has again recommended the release of Patricia Krenwinkel, who is the longest-serving female inmate in the state.
At 77, Krenwinkel is still serving a life sentence at the California Institution for Women for her role in one of America’s most notorious killing sprees.
She was convicted on seven counts of first-degree murder in 1971.
Krenwinkel was just 19 years old when she abandoned her life as a secretary in California to follow Charles Manson, the charismatic cult leader who has since transformed into one of history’s darkest and most mysterious figures.
Drawn in by promises of love and spiritual enlightenment, Krenwinkel instead became a key figure in one of the most infamous crimes in American history.
Krenwinkel personally stabbed heiress Abigail Folger multiple times and then participated in the murders of grocery store owners Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, writing “Helter Skelter” and other phrases on the walls in the victims’ blood.
Convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder, Krenwinkel was originally sentenced to death.
But in 1972, her sentence was commuted to life in prison after California briefly abolished the death penalty.
