Jim Jones seems to me more interesting.
I mean I think it would be easier to convince someone to murder someone else than to commit suicide.
That could be debatable among the criminal profilers of the world, I suppose

Read Helter Skelter. It is amazing.

Trent Reznor(NIN) rented out the house that the Sharon Tate(& 3 others) murders happened in right before it was set to be torn down in the early 90's. He recorded the entire Downward Spiral album in that house. When he left he asked them if he could keep the Door that they wrote PIG in blood on(it had obviously been cleaned & painted over)& they said yes. He brought that door with him when he moved to New Orleans in the mid 90's & put it on the front of his recording studio that he converted from a funeral home on Magazine St. I used to go by there all the time & look at it when I lived in New Orleans. There was a gate so you couldn't touch the door. That place is now a Doctors office the last time I heard.

Ultra strange for me. I had just joined my infantry unit in QuangTri, Vietnam...a couple of months after the landing on the Moon and Woodstock. Read Vincent Bugliosi’s book, Helter Skelter. His theory regarding motive, the Beatles, and race war is thin, but everything regarding the family, the crime, the investigation and the prosecution (he was the prosecutor) is spot on.

I remember at little bit of it when it happened but no detail. I watched Helter Skelter when it first aired on TV and it absolutely scared the hell out of me.

This was my earliest memory of it. I was 8 years old when my mother read that book and remember her talking about it. That book was really hot back then and everyone was talking about it.

Series on Netflix, Aquarius, is a good one that covers the Manson case and many other current events of the time

Too young to remember the murders, but was in jr. high school when the TV movie Helter Skelter came out. The look in the eyes of the actor playing Charles Manson freaked me out. Stare like a cobra's.

Can not imagine the effect the real murderer would have had on a room. Vincent Bugliosi's book describes Manson and his followers scratching crosses in blood on their foreheads for the trial to f- with the jury.
Charlie's crazy ramblings in interviews were creepily hypnotic. Maybe similar to how Hitler's personality pulled followers in.
Dude should have been dispatched like a rabid dog.
FWIW finding out that the Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned Manson's (among many others) death sentence went a long way to remove any idealism about liberalism for me.
