Manson Follower Leslie Van Houten To Seek Parole 50 Years After LaBianca Killings
Jan. 30 2019, Published 12:05 p.m. ET
Leslie Van Houten, the youngest follower of cult leader Charles Manson, will be seeking parole once more, despite the fact that she's serving a life sentence for her heinous crimes.
As RadarOnline.com has learned, the 69-year-old is scheduled for a parole hearing this Wednesday at the California Institute for Women.
According to the New York Post, her lawyer, Rich Pfeiffer, believes she will have no problem getting parole as she's been a model inmate for over four decades. However, a judge has twice blocked Van Houten's release, saying she still blames her crimes mostly on Manson, rather than taking responsibility for her own actions.
RadarOnline.com readers know Van Houten was one of the Manson Family members who were responsible for the 1969 stabbing deaths of wealthy grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary. She previously admitted that she smeared the couple's blood on the walls of their home after the slaying.
Van Houten's blamed her vile actions on her troubled teenage years, Debra Tate, sister of late actress Sharon Tate — who was killed by other members of the murderous clan — believes she is still a danger.
None of the people involved in the LaBianca killings have been released — though, as RadarOnline.com was the first to report, a parole panel recommended Robert Beausoleil to be freed earlier this month. The former Manson follower was convicted of killing musician Gary Hinman in 1969.
