Charles Manson was born November 12, 1934. He is an American criminal and musician and created what is now known as the Manson family. This family was started in the California Desert in the late 1960s. He was found guilty of conspiracy on 1971. He committed murder of seven people including actresses and couples. He also had followers which also murdered several people with him.
In his younger stages, he burgled a store. The money that he obtained from the robbery, he used to rent a room. He also attempted to steal a bike from a store but was then caught. He then escaped the next day but was caught again and was recaptured. He was sent to a place called boys town in which he escaped with another boy that was there and after they escaped, they committed to armed robberies on the way home.
Charles Manson believed in Helter Skelter. He believed that this was an apocalyptic race war. By murdering these people, he thought that he would help the war start. A man named Vincent Bugilosi wrote a book on Manson’s murders and the title of this book was helter skelter. Manson was sentenced to death but it was automatically changed to life in prison since there was a decision by the supreme court in which the death penalty was temporarily removed. Once the death penalty was re-established, Manson was still not sentenced to death since he was already in prison for life.
