| | An Account of the Charles Manson (Tate-LaBianca Murder) Trial of 1970-71. |
 | | Watson, Krenwinkel, and Van Houten were the killers chosen by Manson. |
 | | The suspects consisted of four women, all in their early twenties, and one man in his mid-twenties: Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Leslie Van Houten, Linda Kasabian, and Charles "Tex" Watson. |
 | | As the clerk read the verdict, Manson shouted, "You people have no authority over me." Patricia Krenwinkel declared, "You have judged yourselves." Susan Atkins said, "Better lock your doors and watch your own kids." Leslie Van Houten complained, "The whole system is a game." The trial was over. |
