Miscellaneous
In the first part of our Charlie Manson Episode, we recount the Tate-Labianca murders of 1969 as well as Charlie's childhood and life leading up to his release from prison, at the age of 32. Little Charlie got off to a rough start in life, as his teenaged mother was ill-equipped to deal with the difficult child. As he bounces from one prison to the next, Charlie's experiences prepare him not to became a well-adjusted member of society, but rather the manipulating cult leader and murderer that he ends being.
