She is the detainee who has fulfilled the longest penalty of California. Patricia Krenwinkel, a member of the “family” of Charles Manson, could be released at age 77. A decision encouraged by the United States Liberation Commission, which believes that the 77 -year -old detainee presents little risk of recurrence due to its impeccable age and behavior in prison, reports the British newspaper The Guardian citing local television.
In 1971, Patricia Krenwinkel had been convicted of seven positions, including murders and conspiracy, and sentenced to death for several murders perpetrated on behalf of the Charles Manson sect in 1969.

The next night, other murders are perpetrated: Leno Labianca, and his wife, Rosemary, owners of a city grocery store, are stabbed at home. Charles Manson, if he has not participated in these murders, will be declared guilty of having ordered them.
Life imprisonment
Like other members of the sect, Patricia Krenwinkel was sentenced to death, before seeing her sentence transformed into life imprisonment after the abolition of the capital sanction in the state in 1972. Charles Manson died in prison in 2017 and Leslie Van Houten, another member of her “family”, was released in 2023.
Patricia Krenwinkel could benefit from the same trial. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, must soon reveal his decision to issue, or not, his freedom for the detainee, against the Council of certain families of victims, opposed to his release.
