wikipedia notes: Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934 as Charles Milles Maddox) was the founder and leader of the "Manson Family," a hippie cult whose members he commanded to commit the August, 1969, Tate-LaBiana murders in Los Angeles. He is currently an inmate at Corcoran State Prison in California, having been denied parole many times.
Manson has spent most of his adult life in prison, initially for offenses such as car theft, forgery, credit card fraud and pimping. In the late 1960s, he migrated to California, wanting to become a musician; instead, he befriended the young, disenfranchised people he met and began calling them his "Family." He ordered them to kill movie actress Sharon Tate (wife of the Polish movie director 32;ski">Roman Pola&Roman Pola&&24;ski), who was eight and a half months pregnant at the time. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. He is serving a life sentence in California's Corcoran State Prison, and will be up for parole in 2007 at the age of 73. Manson has always maintained his innocence of the Tate-LaBianca murders.
Manson was also friends with several notable musicians before the murders were committed, including Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys, and was a marginally successful musician himself who recorded several albums and whose songs have since been covered by many artists.
Since his trial and conviction, Manson's name and image have been integrated into American pop culture, typically as a symbol of evil.
