Sharon Atkins is known as one of Manson's minions. She participated in the murders of the Le Blanc couple and Sharon Tate(along with that of her unborn child). She is now a 60yrold amputee,paralyzied,and dying of brain cancer. Her family argued for a compassion release from the California penial institution stating the above along with the fact that she can't even sit up in bed. It has cost the taxpayers 1.4million since March to guard her at her bedside and for the hospital care.
Some chalk her crime up to youthful indecrestion,mind altering drug use(LSD),or the actual brainwashing of Manson? Whatever it was that contributed to the demise of this woman in her younger state some argue she "still took 4lives known about". Do you think her husband and brother have the right to ask for a compassionate release? Do you think in this physical state she had the right to get one or Do you think that life means exactly what it means? L.I.F.E!
P.S.: She was denied the compassionate release. The husband and brother said they were going to appeal as they argue that in her current physical state she is no longer a danger to society. They only grant 10-20 a year so California is not a leanient state. But even Arnold said that with crimes of this particular nature that he tended to think people should never get out. They should pay for the crimes they commited and if that's a life sentence then so be it. So they have an up hill battle to fight. I just wanted your take on it. Do you agree?
