Leslie Van Houten, 69, has been a guest of the state for almost 50 years. She is also a stone killer psychopath. She was 19 when she took part in the La Bianca murders under the tutelage of Charlie Manson. The parole board voted to let her out. Gavin Newsom said NO. I admit that surprises me. I expected that Gavin would let her out and maybe help get her a job in an old folks home or maybe a day care center.

Let her rot.
Have supervised Charlie, Tex, and Bruce at different times and at different institutions during my career. If she's anything like them...I have to agree with Trey. She is right where she belongs. And she should remain there.
I agree that any member of the Manson family should never be released from prison. However, the California legislature apparently does not.
Under the current state of the law, she is entitled to release on parole. Allowing politicians like Gavin Newsom to arbitrarily overrule the parole board for political reasons with absolutely no factual support for their decision at all, will eventually lead to unintended consequences that none of us will like.
