The photos show Manson, 77, with lengthy, gray hair plus a beard. It released in the request of CNN in advance of an April 11 parole hearing.
Manson along with other members of his so-called family had been convicted of killing actress Sharon Tate and six other men and women through a bloody rampage within the Los Angeles place in the course of two August nights in 1969. Prosecutors stated that Manson and his followers had been trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesied inside the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, was eight 1/2 months pregnant when she was killed at her hilltop home in Benedict Canyon on Aug. 9, 1969. Besides Tate, four other folks had been stabbed and shot to death which includes Jay Sebring, 35; Voytek Frykowski, 32; Abigail Folger, 25, a coffee heiress; and Steven Parent, 18, a buddy of Tate's caretaker. The word "Pig" was written on the front door in blood.
The next night, Manson rode as well as his so-called loved ones members to the Los Feliz property of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, then left 3 of them to commit the murders. "Death to pigs" was written on a wall, and "Healter Skelter," which was misspelled, on the refrigerator door.
Manson was also convicted with the earlier murder of musician Gary Hinman in his Topanga Canyon house, along with the slaying of former stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea in the Spahn movie ranch in Chatsworth, where Manson had his commune.
Manson initially was sentenced to death. A 1972 ruling by the California Supreme Court found the state's death penalty law at the time unconstitutional and his death sentence was changed in 1977 to life in prison using the possibility of parole.
The septuagenarian has created 11 failed bids for parole considering that 1978, the final in 2007 when he was ordered to continue serving life sentences.
