Charles Manson Up For Parole

After the grueling trial process in the early 70s, Charles Manson was given the death sentence.  Due to a change in the law at that time, he was given the opportunity to live -- his new sentence, life in prison with a chance of parole.  Manson has come up for parole a few times since his original sentence, each time being denied.  He does come up for parole again in May of 2012.
