Gov. Newsom again rejects parole for Manson family member Leslie Van Houten

Her attorney said the decision will be appealed in court.

SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday blocked parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, reversing a panel’s recommendation that she be freed after spending a half-century in prison.Van Houten, 72, “currently poses an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison at this time,” Newsom said in his parole review. It was the fifth time that a California governor has rejected her release.

“We’re not fighting Leslie being a good person. She’s proven that through her actions for half a century,” he said. The day before, other Manson followers, not including Van Houten, killed pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others.
