	UPNE - The Long Prison Journey of Leslie van Houten: Karlene Faith
		At the age of twenty-one, Leslie Van Houten was sentenced to death, along with Charles Manson and his other disciples, for the infamous murder rampage spanning two nights in August 1969.
		Leslie, who was present at the Rosemary and Leno LaBianca stabbings, serenely accepted her sentence, wishing only that she had better served Manson in carrying out his apocalyptic vision of "Helter Skelter." When the United States temporarily suspended its death penalty, her sentence for murder conspiracy was converted to life in prison.
		Leslie's journey out of Manson's grasp is a riveting feminist and spiritual story of recovering one's self.

	Van Houten family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the animated series The Simpsons, the Van Houten family consists of the father Kirk, the mother Luann, and their son Milhouse.
		Milhouse Van Houten is Bart Simpson's best friend, and is most distinctive for his extreme nearsightedness requiring thick glasses to correct.
		In a recent episode (aired September 25, 2005), the Van Houtens are on the verge of re-uniting, so Bart and Milhouse try copying a stupid stunt off of a parody of The OC to try and get them separated again.

		Leslie Van Houten is indisputably the least culpable and most rehabilitated among all of the so-called “Manson girls” who, along with cult leader Charles Manson, were convicted in 1971 for what would later become known as the Tate-LaBianca murders.
		Leslie, only 19 years old at the time of the murders, was the youngest of the female murder defendants and as such, was much more vulnerable to Manson's manipulations.
		At Leslie’s 2002 hearing, Judge Krug wrote that: "Other than the finding as to the gravity of the offense, there is a complete lack of any evidence to support the decision of the board.” “The board failed to make a finding that [Leslie's] institutional behavior was a factor tending to show her suitability for parole.

		Despite being a model prisoner, Leslie has been repeatedly denied release from prison, a fact that tends to illustrate that it is not a lack of rehabilitation, but rather personal prejudices, media-hyped hysteria about the so-called “Manson murders,” and political posturing that is thwarting real justice and denying freedom to her.
		Leslie’s biographer author Karlene Faith, while writing about the fate of Leslie and the other Manson women, noted that, “Rather than considering who they are today, who they have been for decades and questions of proportional justice, the board continues.
		But at the same time, this website also stands by the view that Leslie Van Houten, along with her parents and other relatives, were also victims of Manson and that it is vital to seek to promote tolerance, forgiveness, and healing for all concerned.

		Leslie Van Houten was 21 when she was sentenced to death for her part in the infamous 1969 "Helter Skelter" Charles Manson murders.
		Leslie and two other "Manson girls" were kept isolated in the old death row building at the California Institute for Women for many years for fear that the hold Manson had on them would be a danger to the general prison population.
		Carlson was concerned for Leslie and the others and recognized that many years of brainwashing and programming, along with sexual and emotional exploitation by Manson, had left these "girls" without any sense of themselves or the ability to act on their own choices.

		Van Houten was a 19-year-old member of career criminal Charles Manson's ersatz hippie cult in 1969 when the group killed nine Los Angeles area residents, including seven in two days, in what prosecutors said was an attempt to start a race war Manson believed was prophesied in the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
