Charles Willis Manson

Reform school is where he spent most of his childhood. From there he went to prison for the bulk of his young adulthood. Paranoid Schizophrenia is the medical diagnosis of Charles Willis Manson. I'm sure he displayed many symptoms of this disorder while he was in prison. When he was informed about his upcoming prison release, he literally begged prison officials as he fell down to his knees, "This is the only life that I know. Please don't make me go. "I'll die out there, " he pleaded with tears in his eyes. "Please listen to me. I'm telling you truthfully. If you send me out there I'll never survive." Which raises the question; who is truly the guilty party of the Tate-La Bianca murders? Had prison officials taken him seriously, when he pleaded on his hands and knees NOT to be released, the Tate-La Bianca tragedy most certainly would have never occurred.
