Manson family member Leslie Van Houten parole reversed for the fifth time
CNN
California Gov. Gavin Newsom rejected the state's parole board recommendation to release Leslie Van Houten, a former Charles Manson follower and convicted murderer, from prison, saying she continues to pose a threat to public safety.
Van Houten was 19 when she met Manson and joined the murderous cult that came to be called the "Manson family." In 1971, she was convicted for her role in the grisly stabbing murders of supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, at their home.
She is now 72.
