Welcome to edition ninety seven.
0:21
Part six --
0:24
Yeah. -- of Oh, killer. No Filla podcast
0:26
with me, Rachel Fairburn and Kew a picture of a claim.
0:28
Just before we start, we'll do our usual disclaimer.
0:31
This isn't here our worship. We do this podcast
0:33
because we have a mutual interest in serial killers.
0:36
As long as we are doing this
0:37
podcast, he stops us from writing to
0:39
them in prison. Part six. Part
0:42
fucking 6. And if
0:44
you are like Rachel Fairburn, and
0:47
you hate trials, then I I'm
0:49
really sorry that I still have
0:51
a little bit of trial for you. When
0:54
is this gonna end? I mean, We've
0:57
been in the company of the Manson family
1:00
since early December twenty
1:03
twenty two. And it
1:06
just keeps rolling up. I'm gonna
1:08
cover so basically, I wouldn't
1:11
talk about techs. Charles Watson,
1:13
Texas trial because his was a
1:15
separate trial to the three women
1:18
and to Charles Munson. So I'm gonna
1:20
rattle through it with your permission, Rachel.
1:22
Go. I shall listen. Drink
1:24
my tea. Basically, he did
1:27
a runner. When they were sort
1:29
of when the investigations were happening.
1:31
And he went to Mexico, he
1:33
went to Hawaii, And then he
1:35
went back and tried to find the family in California
1:37
desert, couldn't find them. So then he
1:39
goes back to Copeville in Texas,
1:41
which you may remember from what
1:44
eighteen hours ago of podcasting
1:46
that is that is where he's from. So
1:49
there's this whole thing about, like, he has to be
1:51
I didn't realize this really
1:53
until this case that if someone's in
1:55
different state and wants to prosecute it in another
1:58
one, you have to extradite them or it's like it's another
2:00
country. Really? Yeah. I thought the states
2:02
had more cooperation, but I especially think
2:04
between Texas and California, there
2:06
would be like friction. Historically
2:09
as well. So in December nine sixty
2:11
nine, there's basically a warrant for his arrest,
2:13
but it's a very long time to get someone extradited.
2:16
Now, technically, he's in custody while
2:18
he's waiting next tradition. Mhmm. He
2:20
gets treated incredibly,
2:23
what's the right phrase? Well,
2:25
in quite a lax way.
2:27
So he he gets a
2:29
special because he's a vegetarian. He
2:32
gets special vegetarian meals cooked
2:34
and brought to him by his own mother.
2:37
So while he's in custody, he's eating
2:39
home cooked food. He doesn't have
2:41
to wear a prison uniform. They let
2:43
him bring in a record player and his own
2:45
records, and he
2:47
was even in a cell next to
2:49
female prisoners. Which
2:52
I think is a I don't know. It just gives me
2:54
theic. Yeah. Now the attorney
2:56
at the time is Bill Boyd, and he said, I'm
2:58
not having him I think they wanted
3:00
to sentence him to death basically because
3:02
he was a Texan boy and it
3:04
would be, you know, what's
3:07
the word? It's soft symbolic right to the stomach
3:09
because they execute him. And they
3:11
were worried that California would be too soft.
3:13
So Bill Boyd used the attorney at the time
3:15
was like, I'm gonna set this all the way to the
3:18
court, and he did. His
3:20
dad, the attorneys' dad, Bill Boyd's
3:22
dad, was a really powerful
3:25
politicians. So they just did everything
3:27
they could to keep him there. So
3:30
the judge, who was appointed for the extradition
3:33
hearing was judge David
3:35
Brown. And he
3:37
was like, yeah. That's
3:39
fine. He can stay in Texas. But
3:41
then it goes up to the supreme court. No. He
3:43
says no. He's got to lose access. He goes
3:45
up to the supreme court again. And Hugo
3:47
Black said, no. He can't
3:49
he can't stay. He's got to go
3:51
to California. So he flies back
3:53
in September of nineteen seventy.
3:56
Now, this is about the time that Charles
3:58
Munson is on trial. Mhmm.
4:01
So he arrives during the trial, but not
4:03
in time to be a part of the trial, obviously.
4:05
He actually testifies in
4:08
the oh, shut the fuck up. You hear my cat
4:10
squeaking in the background even though he had he
4:13
has already had breakfast. You're a fucking
4:15
scab pretending he's not had
4:17
his breakfast. Yeah. And also not pulling his weight.
4:19
Like at least the dog barks and people come to the
4:21
door. The cap does nothing except looks
4:24
at me like I'm a piece of shit if I die
4:26
so on my end so far. Anyway, what
4:28
the fuck was I? Oh, so he's been next to diet as
4:30
he goes back. He also had been
4:32
on hunger strike during this
4:34
time. So he
4:36
basically is a sort of well,
4:38
a protest. He refuses
4:40
to have any food. He loses about
4:42
thirty pounds, and most of
4:44
it is in the last two months before he's
4:46
extradited. When it looks like he's
4:48
definitely gonna end up going to LA. So it was
4:50
like a a protest. When
4:52
he goes to trial, it's August twenty fourth and nineteen
4:54
seventy one. And again, it
4:56
was buglioci who was prosecuting
4:59
him, who's the same guy, who
5:01
prosecuted the the previous ones. Now
5:03
he tried to sort of look like a good
5:05
kind of southern college boy. So
5:08
he wore like a blue
5:10
blazer and you know there's what they
5:12
call like cream chinos. I
5:14
think there's something else. Yeah. Yeah.
5:16
I can't tell you what a red flag I see them
5:18
on man. You know if I see them on a
5:20
young man? You know the cream
5:23
chinos and blue blazer combo?
5:25
Yeah. I mean, on a on a young person.
5:27
Yeah. Are you looking to see it as an unconvicted
5:29
rapist? It's it's very young conservative,
5:32
isn't it? It really fucking is. It's
5:34
someone who won't get prosecuted for anything
5:36
because they're a good swimmer. I honestly
5:39
Definitely. I mean, you know, Tim
5:41
has started wearing sort of darker
5:43
colored ginos in his say
5:45
older years. He's probably five years younger
5:47
than me. And that they look quite
5:49
smart, but he wears them with, like, a jump putting,
5:51
like, a a night jumper or a
5:53
champion sweater, that kind of thing. Mhmm.
5:55
But I think when you see that
5:57
young foldy look, when it's young people
5:59
dressed older, and not in a vintage
6:01
way. Yeah. This is always met.
6:03
It's always boys. You're right. Do
6:05
not my partner's flag. Got a really a
6:07
thing against women,
6:10
there's more of that sentence. Okay. Women's
6:13
in here from money who, as
6:15
adults, call their father, Duddy,
6:18
It's it's yeah. It's it's
6:20
horrible, isn't it? I mean, I I've said this before,
6:22
so obviously obviously by Doug Welch and his
6:24
he's in South Welch and his family actually
6:26
used to call their parents mommy and daddy
6:29
when they were adults, but that's different.
6:31
Yeah. When it's a young when it's a oh,
6:34
daddy. Daddy. Yeah. So
6:36
when Prince Harry was talking during his
6:38
wine interview -- Yeah. -- and he kept saying
6:41
mummy. It's like, mate,
6:43
just say mother. Sound
6:47
like you want fucking breastfeeding now.
6:49
But this is the thing it's like, I think postpaid
6:52
people are quite often only
6:54
around push people so they don't realize that's weird.
6:56
Yeah. Well, that's the thing you used
6:58
to fucking get a grip about as well.
7:00
You've only been Right. Can I
7:02
say something that he said in that? Right.
7:04
I'm not interested in Prince Harry in any way, fucking
7:06
shape. Let's not talk about him then. And it's
7:08
a massive action while they sort of fuck
7:10
the NHS. Let's not talk about them.
7:12
Can I just say one thing? Come on.
7:15
Right. I think he's been watching something like
7:17
this is England. To try and make him
7:19
seem like he's, you know, relatively
7:22
normal. He does this bit where
7:24
he's like, he's seen a bit from his art of biography
7:26
and it says, oh, It's alright
7:28
for William. I know my place.
7:30
I'm here living with dad eating takeaway
7:32
over the sink. The fuck you on
7:34
about. Who eats
7:36
takeaway over a sink? Is this another
7:38
four sided? Precisely.
7:41
Does that mean that he was breastfed over a
7:43
sink by a wetness? Probably.
7:47
Fucking hell. I'd see the only thing I've heard
7:49
about this prince Harry's room was bits I've heard from other
7:51
people, so it's really funny to see what you've remembered
7:53
compared to everyone else. Just a
7:56
fucking man. Oh, no. Things fucking
7:59
mad. I'll so shave your red mate.
8:01
Your hair's gone. Oh,
8:04
wow. It's a real old pad. Anyway,
8:07
Tex. Tell me about Tex. So he
8:10
rocks up in court looking very smart.
8:13
And he he testifies in
8:16
the the trial of trials months and
8:18
the and the other months and members.
8:21
He has got very weird
8:23
behavior during it. So not only has he been
8:25
on sort of, like, well, starving
8:27
himself, he would also start to
8:29
throw himself into a
8:31
cell walls. The psychiatrist
8:34
was saying he's refer
8:36
he's like regressing
8:38
to a fetal state.
8:40
Apparently, he wouldn't really speak, and
8:42
he was hospitalized at one point.
8:44
Basically, his mental state was
8:46
deteriorating. But they think that it was sort
8:48
of a ploy and that he was sort of
8:50
pretending to appear to his. Like,
8:52
there was something wrong, so he would sit there
8:54
in the witness spot or sit there in
8:57
the box and he would hang his
8:59
mouth open, so it looked like he
9:01
didn't understand what was going on.
9:03
And that's why he was being sort of cross examined.
9:06
And the the picture they were painting was
9:08
that he was a slave who didn't
9:10
understand anything.
9:12
He didn't speak very much. He was generally
9:14
quite silent, but he did admit that
9:16
he shot and stabbed people
9:19
in the tape, Le Bianca, thing.
9:21
They said, oh, no. I didn't kill Sharon Tate.
9:24
And anything that looked like it
9:26
was to do with planning things
9:28
or premeditation. He
9:31
said, oh, no. That was that was Charles
9:33
Munson, or he blamed the girls for it. So the
9:35
whole thing he's going for is, I don't understand anything.
9:37
It was all then. Now he starts off with
9:39
this sort of, like, open mouth. We can barely
9:41
speak thing. And by
9:43
the end of it, he's crossing because I've been for so
9:45
long. He's sort of gives up and starts trying to
9:47
fight his case back and the juries are
9:49
up. He is absolutely fine.
9:52
And probably always has been
9:55
Yes. And he's just pretending
9:57
to try and get off. Good.
9:59
Now, during a cross examination,
10:01
functionality, who's fucking
10:03
great. Eventually gets him to admit
10:05
that it was him who's stubbed shouldn't take. I
10:07
don't know why he thought, oh, that'll be the
10:09
thing that Killa you you know that's a weird
10:11
thing where a serial killer or someone
10:13
will do a horrible crime, but then I
10:15
but I didn't do that. But Yeah.
10:17
Do you think it led us through so famous?
10:19
No. I think it's because she was pregnant. I
10:21
mean, of course. An eight month pregnant
10:23
woman. Let's be honest. If
10:25
you it's a fucking horrendous
10:28
crime and and to to be
10:30
able to do that, fuck me. There's gotta be
10:32
something seriously wrong with you.
10:34
But imagine you know you're going to be going
10:36
into prison And
10:38
you think, well, I'm gonna go to prison and
10:40
say it's fucking out if the other roommates find out
10:42
that I've killed a pregnant woman. I'm
10:45
gonna get my fucking ass
10:47
kicked and words probably.
10:50
It's very interesting
10:52
that I I think it's in his trial
10:54
he admits to
10:57
stabbing Sharon Tate because
10:59
in the original trial of the three women,
11:01
Leslie Van Houten's defense, like, Can you
11:03
just pull you say that you stabbed her because you did?
11:06
And our defendant stabbed
11:09
her after she was already dead, but she's
11:11
already said she stabbed her. So can you just admit it? And
11:13
he's like, I'm not fucking safe. So he did he
11:15
refused to admit it during her trial. And
11:17
he was like, why should I save her basically?
11:20
You I think about all of these people. I
11:23
think they're fucking horrible and they're
11:25
absolute time wasters. Oh,
11:28
yeah. Well, the fact that the trial goes on for so,
11:30
so that was nine months with the other one. And then this
11:32
is another however fucking long. Now,
11:34
well, he's on trial until, let's Steve
11:36
starts in is it September? He was
11:38
August seventy one, and then he it
11:40
closes on October seventy one. So
11:42
that's another how early. So
11:45
He was convicted
11:47
for the lobby labianca's
11:49
murder for Sharon Tate and everyone
11:51
at her house as well. He
11:53
sends it to death. Now he sent to the same
11:56
prison as Charles Munson, which is San
11:58
Quintin, which obviously, you know
12:00
of. What do you think of when you hear San Quintin?
12:02
Johnny Cash. Yeah. In that
12:04
potty matter every day.
12:06
Checking these out though. Get what? What's the gig
12:08
before or after? Yeah. It's
12:10
interesting that everyone thinks that. What's the what
12:12
did I hear? I I was this is
12:14
irrelevant. I was into a podcast yesterday. The
12:16
unsolved mysteries podcast, you might
12:18
enjoy that. And there was a blood kind of
12:20
talk Killa he the way he spoke
12:22
sounded like the way Johnny Cash sings.
12:25
Really? Yeah. It was really weird.
12:27
Really weird. You know one of the reasons why this
12:29
trial took so long is
12:31
because the lawyers
12:33
from both sides were frequently
12:35
held in contempt of coal
12:37
Fucking hell. This is chaos. And
12:39
in fact, the Buggly OC and
12:41
the LADA, they set up
12:43
basically what was like a crowd
12:45
funder. To cover the fees of
12:47
always being held in contempt. So
12:50
they were, like, to the public,
12:52
like, if you want these people to go
12:54
down, you know, we've done
12:56
this thing so we can get this, but technically it's
12:58
contempt of court. So could you just
13:00
cover the cost to get the conviction
13:02
over the line? Fuck you now.
13:04
Isn't it mad? Yeah.
13:06
Now, Texas whole
13:08
defense was completely different to the other members of
13:10
the months and family. He basically did
13:12
that they said Charles'
13:15
defense was, the girls did it all, and the
13:17
girls were, like, yeah, we did it
13:19
all. But then, obviously, Linda Kasebion was, like, it
13:21
was all Charles month, and when he would have done anything,
13:23
he said. And then text
13:25
was like, I'm gonna try something different. I'm gonna say
13:27
that I'm clinically insane. So
13:29
he he's nice have of rises. Yeah.
13:31
What what do you know what? I think it's mad that the
13:33
others didn't try an insanity defense.
13:36
Yeah. I I agree, actually. Yeah. This
13:38
is a very weird So
13:40
he comes forward when he's testifying in their in
13:42
their trial. And they're
13:44
like, you know, this is a very delicate witness.
13:46
He's he's, you know, he says he's got mental
13:49
problems. He's been in a psychiatric ward.
13:51
Charlespots and steps up and went, do you know what? Give
13:53
me half an hour with him. He says this
13:55
to Vincent okay, I see and says, I
13:57
think I can cure him. Fuck you
13:59
now. And he says, boogulation goes
14:01
to me and says, no, do you know what? I can't eat and do that.
14:03
And he says, I can't afford to take that
14:05
chance. Because if you cured him, then
14:07
everyone would believe that you are Jesus
14:09
Christ. Right? Okay. Isn't that
14:11
fucking mad? The
14:14
two pleas were he's not guilty,
14:17
and the second one was he's not
14:19
guilty by reason of insanity. So
14:21
then means that the jury
14:23
have to decide whether they
14:25
think he's guilty, then they
14:27
have to go forward based on that.
14:29
About whether they think that him insane
14:31
would still make him guilty. If if
14:33
he wasn't saying, would
14:35
he still be guilty? Do you know what I
14:37
mean? Yes. So it went on for
14:39
longer than it should because basically he's absolutely
14:41
bullshitting and he is eventually, like I say,
14:43
found guilty. He gets death
14:45
penalty and then he gets commuted.
14:47
Is that what you say? Yeah. Down to
14:49
life. Yeah. To life because of that change
14:51
in a law. He then moves
14:53
to California men's colony
14:55
in son Louie. A a bespoke.
14:57
Am I saying that right? He
15:00
starts sort of like really
15:02
engaging in books. Do we
15:04
gonna talk about their time in prison? Because I've got loads
15:06
on Texas time in prison. But talk
15:08
about his time in prison. I've I've just got
15:10
basically what they're up to
15:12
now. Great. Okay.
15:14
To be honest, I was coming into this hoping for
15:16
a light romp. Wow.
15:19
So And we're only at the fucking finger
15:21
in mate. So he
15:25
starts reading the bible amongst
15:28
the fucking girls. Now he
15:30
becomes a born again Christian.
15:32
Mhmm. And it's
15:34
means that while he's in prison, he starts
15:36
a prison ministry. And
15:38
starts writing a book, which is a
15:40
memoir about basically
15:42
being in the Manson family. And
15:44
it also talks in detail about the murders that
15:46
he committed. How do you feel about that Rachel
15:48
Farben? I
15:51
mean, by all means use
15:54
rights in as therapy.
15:56
But I don't think you should have your
15:58
work published. I think it should be
16:00
used to assist police
16:02
and authorities and
16:04
and medical professionals to learn
16:06
something. I don't think it should be out
16:08
there for public consumption. I mean, alright.
16:10
But I don't think you should be able to buy
16:12
it Interesting. Interesting.
16:16
Well, he becomes a man of
16:18
faith. He becomes so religious, like
16:20
I said, that he sets up his ministry.
16:22
And one of the people who defend him and his
16:24
right to rehabilitation is someone
16:26
quite unlikely, which is Rosemarie
16:29
Labeanca's daughter. Who
16:32
is religious herself and is like, you're
16:34
walking out. Yeah. She says
16:36
if he, you know, if he says that he's
16:38
repented and he found Jesus Christ
16:40
then. Who am I to judge?
16:42
Which is very very
16:44
noble of very brave, very Very
16:47
unique to your faith. But fuck
16:49
me, I couldn't do that. The
16:51
other thing he starts doing,
16:53
basically, the end of his book talks about this matter,
16:55
isn't it the end it says, and you know what? I've surrendered
16:57
myself to Jesus Christ. He's
16:59
gonna redeem me. I'm gonna be, you know,
17:01
faithful to Christ. Now
17:04
someone reads this book.
17:06
There's twenty year old, they live
17:08
in the area, and she's she's Norwegian,
17:10
and they start seeing
17:12
each other. And she gets
17:15
conjugal visits. Fuck off.
17:20
And they get married,
17:22
which I have got very
17:24
weird feelings about. Yeah.
17:26
Look, I'm gonna I'm gonna go hard
17:28
line on this. I fully I
17:30
believe that the prison is there
17:32
for rehabilitation. Right?
17:34
That that is fundamentally
17:36
the point of a prison. Right?
17:38
It should be a punishment but
17:41
fundamentally is rehabilitation. That's what we
17:43
should be aiming for. However,
17:45
when you've committed such
17:47
fucking horrific crimes, including
17:50
that the the murder of an eight month
17:52
pregnant woman. And then you're
17:54
in prison and you get to be
17:56
banging some fucking twenty year old
17:59
Norwegian chick. I'm sorry.
18:01
There has to be a line
18:05
on what is allowed
18:08
because Basically, you're engaging in
18:10
something that you took away the
18:12
chance of of several other
18:14
people. Yeah. Where is the furnace
18:16
in that? I would say, you know,
18:18
well, one of the things that really
18:20
upset Doris Tate, who's Sharon's mother, is
18:22
the funniest he gets these comtrical
18:24
visits. In fact, He manages in that
18:26
time with his his wife. There's a
18:28
picture of them on the wedding day. It's absolutely
18:30
bonkers. Her name is Kristen SVEGEI
18:34
don't know how you pronounce that. SVEGE.
18:37
Sven, Norwegian. Sven? Yeah. Meghan. It'll
18:39
be Sven something on it. That's
18:41
fine. But she gets pregnant
18:43
four times. She has four children to
18:45
have sex. You see, now this
18:47
is the thing that I mean, I can you
18:49
imagine being Sharon Tate's mother? And
18:51
can you or or,
18:53
you know, a sister or whatever?
18:55
Can can you imagine being thinking
18:57
she was murdered you know, the
19:00
child died, and she was
19:02
buried with a eight month old
19:04
eight, you know, not even born,
19:07
son. And you're finding
19:09
out that someone who's complicit in
19:11
her death as now the nuns have
19:13
four healthy children. Yes. From from
19:16
a time and fucking prison --
19:18
Well, you are -- you're bang on
19:20
because Dora's tape, who's been
19:22
very quiet up until then because,
19:24
obviously, her daughter and her unborn grunts and were murdered.
19:27
This this rebirth
19:29
of tax and him being a family man
19:31
from prison spurs her into
19:33
action, and she becomes a victim's rights
19:35
activist. Mhmm. And one of the things she campaigns
19:37
against is against
19:40
conjigal rights for people who are serving life for murder.
19:42
And she managed to get get it
19:44
repealed. So yeah. And
19:46
she rocks up Killa the parole hearings for
19:48
months and on a halt. All of
19:50
the family as sort of a visible representative
19:53
of the families of the the
19:55
people who've, you know, they've lost I'm gonna be
19:57
very blunt about this. She can't commit
20:00
crimes, go to prison
20:02
and still be getting you dickware.
20:06
I can't I I
20:08
just I'm sorry. There has
20:10
to be and it's probably that
20:12
thing of, like, you know, he's he's gone he's
20:14
become a born and Christian. He's
20:16
got married. Probably something to do with,
20:18
like, oh, the the barag just to be
20:20
consummated, something like that. Well, tough
20:22
fucking titter. I'm afraid. I just
20:24
find it if you wanna get married fine,
20:27
but, you know, the intimacy
20:29
and and stuff like that, there has to be some sort
20:31
of punishment for what you've done
20:33
Taking that away from you seems fine
20:35
to me. Yes. Now she clashes
20:38
with Rosemarie La Bianca's daughter
20:40
who's Susan Lebursch over
20:42
this. This is fucking mad. So you know I
20:44
said that she sort of said, oh, I forgive
20:46
him. So what happened is after her parents,
20:48
she had a big breakdown.
20:51
And the only way she got through
20:53
it was by finding faith. So
20:55
she became this born again, Christian,
20:57
and she'd she'd married, she had
20:59
a family, Fair enough
21:01
to even just kind of fair enough so it's
21:03
a press listen. I've part of my faith is
21:05
forgiveness. This is the bit I
21:07
don't understand. She starts
21:09
secretly writing to him in prison. So
21:11
for about a year, she
21:13
starts writing to text. Mhmm.
21:16
And she goes
21:18
she basically is like, I'm sure he's
21:21
sorry. He's such a man of faith
21:23
that I'm sure he regrets doing
21:26
this. So one
21:28
thing she starts to do
21:30
is help him
21:33
get parole. So fucking
21:35
god. So in nineteen
21:37
ninety, she testifies
21:39
on his parole board. She
21:41
she writes them and says, listen. I
21:43
visited him and visited the quote. I shared the forgiveness I
21:45
felt toward him and felt very certain
21:47
that Charles was deeply remorseful of what
21:50
he'd done. That's what
21:52
she she said. Now when
21:54
Doris Tate, Sharon's mother
21:56
sees him sees her
21:58
at the bottom at
22:00
Texas girl hearing, she goes
22:03
fucking mad. She follows her out
22:05
to the car park and says, you are
22:07
one stupid shit. Fair
22:09
enough. Absolutely right. I agree. Of
22:11
course, this is her faith as
22:13
it were and, you know,
22:16
whatever. I'm not criticizing that even though I find
22:18
it absolutely bizarre. But, you know, it's
22:20
not just you that's been infected by this.
22:23
Someone has to take their punishment This
22:25
is his punishment, but he avoids it in all kinds of
22:27
ways because part part of the prison ministry means that he
22:30
gets sort of preferential treatment
22:32
and that he doesn't have to do the worst things
22:34
because he's, like, on ministry work whilst in
22:37
the prison. So he hands fucking
22:39
knows what he's doing. Yeah. They all sat there on
22:41
trial pretending that someone ought with
22:43
him. And he's gone into prison. He's like, oh,
22:45
how to make this easier for myself.
22:47
Do you it's You're almost Killa Yeah.
22:49
He's bright, isn't he? Him and his wife
22:51
also commit, like, decades of benefit fraud
22:53
when it comes to their children. Oh
22:56
my god. Have a day
22:58
off. Honestly,
23:01
can you can you have a day off from being
23:03
an absolute turd? So
23:07
he gets transferred to
23:10
basically, near Sacramento, a place
23:13
called Mule Creek State Prison, which
23:15
sounds lovely to be honest. This is actually so
23:17
quite nice. Chairman. Now he
23:19
gets a psychiatric evaluation
23:21
in the nineties. By the way, in this
23:23
prison, he's given his own office. He's take over
23:25
the Walden's office I need this for ministry work.
23:28
Oh, please. But
23:30
the psychiatrist are like, we think this
23:32
is a really fucking bad idea because
23:35
This is a man who's kind of getting away
23:37
with murder, who has a
23:39
cushy deal, had a cushy deal up to that, you
23:41
know, was getting home cooked meals. Well,
23:44
while Steve was awaiting trial. And now
23:46
he's got this really cushy, powerful
23:48
position. He's fucking doing,
23:50
like, benefit fraud from prison.
23:53
And they referred as walking time bomb.
23:56
And that basically, he had a lot of
23:58
anger towards the system
24:00
and society that they thought
24:02
would come out at some point. Sounds like me, to be honest.
24:05
Yes. Now,
24:07
Bill Boyd, who is his attorney, if you
24:09
remember, the one from Texas.
24:12
Had loads of tapes
24:14
of him talking about the crimes. Mhmm.
24:16
This is before they went to trial in
24:18
in nineteen seventy one. Now fucking billboard
24:21
goes bankrupt. And dies.
24:23
So they they sell all this shit.
24:25
The firm basically he's working
24:27
for, they sell all this stuff, which means
24:29
that a trustee gets it. And then
24:31
the LAPD were like fucking great.
24:34
We can get access to those because
24:36
maybe we can make him stay in prison if
24:38
we find him that, you know, that he was
24:40
lying about Sharon Tate and he was
24:42
lying about this and maybe it was worse than he
24:44
fall. So it's this I can't believe this is
24:46
still going on in April two thousand
24:48
thirteen, which is not that long ago.
24:50
They said, yeah. Fine. LAPD, you can have the
24:52
tapes. So they were transcribed,
24:55
and the story was broken about
24:57
it. The LAPD sort of
24:59
refused to give comment on it,
25:01
but the stroke
25:03
where the press obviously go to show and
25:05
takes family and the
25:07
family the surviving family of
25:09
the other victims as well. Now
25:11
that LAPD never say what's
25:13
on the tapes, but the Sharon
25:16
Tate's family and the other victim's
25:18
family said, listen, there's nothing actually
25:20
important on them. It was everything that we
25:23
already know. Right. But I also think it was
25:25
fucking weird. Basically,
25:27
that they didn't actually listen to the tape.
25:29
The LAPD just told them what was on the
25:31
tapes. Yeah. That that's
25:33
let them listen. Do you think let them
25:35
listen? If you wanna listen, it then
25:37
you'd been throwing off. Let them listen.
25:39
Do not my thing is is that, like,
25:42
I don't know why you would want to
25:44
listen. That's why I struggle. I
25:46
mean, that that's the thing, but we we've never been
25:48
in that that situation. I mean, I I
25:50
guess if something terrible like
25:52
that happens to somebody in my family, you you might
25:54
want to might be, you know, you feel
25:56
more in control of things if you if
25:58
you like I wanna listen to it. I want to know. Mhmm. I
26:00
think the least you can let somebody do has
26:02
been through that is if they wanna listen to something,
26:04
let them fucking listen. Yeah. And to
26:06
be honest, they they were right to. So the
26:08
LAP deal based, like, there's nothing new on the
26:10
tapes. You don't need to listen to it.
26:12
And then
26:14
Debra, who Sharon Tate's sister went,
26:16
Okay. Cool. Well, I'm gonna get a
26:19
basically, an American version of the freedom of
26:21
information request -- Mhmm. -- for this so I could
26:23
listen to these tapes. I know you say this
26:25
everything's fine. And we've been saying to the press
26:27
everything's fine, but I'm just gonna I think I'm probably
26:29
gonna ask for that. And they were, oh, shit.
26:31
Actually, there is something on
26:33
the tapes. Oh, okay. What was it?
26:35
Well, they
26:37
said, listen, if this breaks out,
26:40
the women might go free because text
26:44
is so upfront about what he
26:46
actually does and how involved he is and
26:48
how sort of minimally involved
26:51
the women are. They think these
26:53
women could go free. So
26:55
Deborah goes, okay. I'm
26:57
not gonna file anything then. Mhmm. So all
26:59
this is going on behind closed doors.
27:02
But there's obviously rumors about, like, this is
27:04
very strange that the family don't wanna
27:06
hear what's on types. So
27:08
papers like the LA
27:10
Times and and the associated press are
27:12
trying to get these tapes.
27:14
They're denied. They said,
27:16
oh, it's because it's an ongoing investigation,
27:19
but it's obviously because they think that it would
27:21
overturn the convictions. K?
27:23
Interesting. I mean, I don't
27:25
think it'd be that easy. But, you know, you'll
27:28
be you'll
27:30
be subs to to hear that
27:32
Kristen Watson has now
27:34
divorced Tex. Oh, god. I hope he's
27:36
alright. Well, they got divorced
27:38
actually in two thousand and three.
27:40
She cheated on him with a that she murdered at church.
27:42
Wow. How Christian of her? Oh,
27:44
she's very good. Also, all the
27:46
imagine this. Right? So your dad's a murderer.
27:49
You can see it in prison. What's
27:51
the third and oh, I don't see an email as
27:53
well. This is clearly a joke. What's the third
27:55
part of that triptic, which is gonna make
27:58
you ostracized from society. They
28:00
were homeschooled. Oh,
28:02
the fucking hell. So they're homeschooled. But
28:05
because Kristen's like they're gonna get the shit bullied
28:07
out of them as soon as they find out who their dad
28:09
is. So and, you know, she wants to
28:11
give them a very Christian education.
28:13
So nothing about the planet. I just wanted to
28:15
keep my heart and brainwashing. Absolutely fine. No
28:17
problem with that. Would you know in Germany that
28:19
there's laws against homeschooling?
28:22
Because it's one of their ways of
28:24
dealing with their past. Give
28:26
it a Google, if you don't wanna me.
28:30
Is to stop people radicalizing their children.
28:32
You know, I've got strong views about this and please
28:34
don't write in because, you know, it's just an opinion. I'm
28:36
not telling you not to do it.
28:38
You wanna hold school, kids you go for it, but this is
28:40
just my opinion. I you know,
28:43
obviously, some kids, it is problems and they have to
28:45
be homeschooled, whatever. However,
28:47
I do think it's not
28:51
healthy to be around adults
28:53
all the time. And you
28:55
know, your your parents, for example,
28:57
children have to learn the wrong way
28:59
in the world. They have to be around other children.
29:02
Children are allowed private lives as
29:04
well, you know. Just send
29:06
them to fucking school. It's it's
29:09
just control And
29:11
and and as I say, please don't write in because it
29:13
is just my opinion, and I'm not I'm not
29:15
saying you can't do it. I just
29:17
disagree with it. That's how life should
29:20
be. I disagree. But
29:22
you go for it. Do you wanna hear what's happening with text
29:25
right now? Please. And now he's been
29:27
a patrol eighteen times, and he's
29:29
been denied. The last time
29:31
was he was denied it
29:33
in October twenty twenty
29:35
one. And they said, Nah,
29:37
you gotta wait another five years before you can
29:39
even ask. He is in San
29:41
Diego, California at the Richard j
29:44
Donovan exceptional facility. That's where he currently is.
29:46
Now, he still his church
29:48
is doing very well. Oh, he also
29:50
got done for fraud. Oh, he's
29:52
been investigated it. So he he's had the fraud to
29:54
do with his Killa' births. So that's
29:57
basically like benefit fraud. Mhmm. And
29:59
he also uses
30:01
money from the organization he set
30:03
up, which is called Abounding love ministries. And
30:05
he's been using that for, like, personal
30:08
things. And it's a it's a
30:10
Christian sort of group. So he's got
30:12
a website about it. How the fuck are you
30:14
in prison? And you're
30:16
managing to set up a business on
30:18
a website. You're in prison, but he's got, you know, he's got a
30:20
wife on the outside and then there'll be people who are in
30:22
the prison who signed up to his church
30:24
who'll then do things when they're on the
30:26
outside. Yes. Somewhere going wrong there
30:29
somewhere. Now what he sells is book on
30:31
their website. Fuck
30:33
off. He has a sermon on an online
30:35
sermon there where he talks about the
30:37
four big killers of today, and
30:39
they were alcohol, sex, drugs, and suicide
30:41
as opposed to him, Charles Munson,
30:43
Susan -- Exactly. -- and even
30:46
Patricia Grenfell. Now his plan
30:48
is that when he's released, whenever the fuck
30:50
that will be, but we know it won't be before
30:52
two thousand twenty 6. He's gonna move
30:54
to Texas and he wants to become a tele
30:57
evangelist. No. Fuck you.
30:59
Come. No. He's gonna
31:01
die in prison I don't even know why we're worrying
31:03
about it. Well, they've rolled back his rights as
31:05
well. So, you know, he used to have this office and
31:07
he used to sort of kind of rule the roost
31:09
with his prison ministry. Well, this place in Sunday, I
31:11
can't having any of it. He Oh, they're like,
31:13
you're not allowed in office. You can run your
31:15
thing, but you're not allowed it. And he's been there
31:17
since two thousand seventeen. So I think he's got far
31:19
fewer rights there. And they
31:21
have given him an official role in
31:23
the prison, but not as minister. Do you know what it
31:25
is? What is it? He's
31:27
the janitor. Well, useful
31:30
and productive. That's fine.
31:32
No problem with with that kind of thing. That's that's the
31:34
kind of thing you should be doing in prison, you
31:36
know? Yeah. It's
31:38
a bit feels a bit more appropriate. Right?
31:40
Yeah. Absolutely. That's massively more
31:43
appropriate. Has that really
31:45
annoyed you? I thought it
31:47
might when I was reading. It was really fucking piss me off.
31:50
I I am absolutely godsmacked
31:52
-- Yeah. -- about it. It's
31:54
like I'm shocked and I'm not shocked at the same
31:57
time. It's just really
32:01
yeah. That that's really a nightmare. Do you know
32:03
what I think is very interesting that in America
32:05
where people sort of and this
32:07
is no comment on Americans or people with
32:09
faith, but in America how
32:11
many o series criminals,
32:13
murders, etcetera, convert and become
32:15
sort of evangelist born again
32:18
really quite kind of the more
32:20
extreme, more fanatical side of
32:22
religion. And if they did that in
32:24
the UK, I think people would use that as a
32:26
reason to keep them in prison. But
32:28
because religion it feels like
32:30
is more popular in the United States
32:32
than the UK just as an outsider, you
32:34
know, that more people have faith and attend
32:36
church and things like that. That is actually seen
32:38
as, like, a good way to sort of
32:41
prove that you're repenting in a way that you know
32:43
what I mean? Like, if if over here, if somewhat a
32:45
terrible murderer is like, I found God ever and I'd be like,
32:47
go fuck you stuff that makes you even worse, you're
32:49
boring, hon. Yeah. Yeah.
32:51
Totally. But in over here, people
32:53
are like sorry. In America, it feels
32:55
like people like, well, you know what?
32:57
And then, you know, people take up their cores outside
33:00
of the prison then go, well, he's, you know, he's
33:02
far on faith and he's repented. But I
33:04
think we're very cynical about it because I think sometimes we
33:06
can we I think we can genuinely see it for what it
33:08
is, you know. I think over here, we're
33:10
like, oh, of course, he's fucking turned to God. I
33:12
wonder why that is. But
33:14
yeah. In in America, I think I
33:17
I would say probably more people are
33:19
people are more religious
33:21
maybe. It's taken a lot more seriously.
33:23
Not not that, you know, people they did take
33:25
it seriously. I mean, as I brought up
33:27
a catholic, I don't believe any of it. But,
33:30
you know, I went to pop to mass every
33:32
so often. Keep your hand over. Can you church me?
33:34
Yeah. I love bit church me. Like, the
33:36
costumes don't. Do you know what?
33:38
Great outfits, great buildings. Sometimes --
33:40
Great buildings. -- great outfits. Love
33:42
the smell of a church. What does the church smell like?
33:44
How much does smell like a church shop?
33:47
It's sort of a weird it's hard to describe,
33:49
but whenever I like a when
33:51
a candle has just been blown out, that
33:53
kind of smell. Oh, my worst. Do you
33:55
not know about my problem with this?
33:58
No. So there's always candles burning in my house because I've
34:00
got a dog that stinks. So and
34:02
I love the smell of, you know,
34:04
like Christmas candles have burn them all year round.
34:06
You know, Rachel Webb. And I've got to the age where I
34:09
love fucking nothing more than
34:11
opening Christmas present, and it's
34:13
a nice candle. It's nice but isn't it? Yeah. I think it's it's a nice
34:15
present. It's nice to receive, isn't it? It's delightful. And
34:18
you know what, the whole time I'm burning it, I think
34:20
about the person
34:22
who got for me. I love it. Yeah. It's nice. Is it? This is nice
34:24
present. You know what? Who wouldn't be happy with
34:26
that? My PR got me a
34:28
lovely winter
34:30
themed one. And I love when winter
34:32
ones all year run because, excuse me, I think it makes the house feel warmer.
34:34
We're never drinking some spices and things
34:38
like that. I like winter ones, but I do like I do like a spring
34:40
one. I was sometimes looking really clean
34:42
and fresh is nice. Yeah.
34:44
Fresh linen or I love I love a
34:46
spring one, you
34:48
know, like or things called like English
34:50
garden, things like that. Oh, no. That sounds a
34:52
bit nana's draw to me. Oh, I
34:54
love that
34:56
heavy sort of smell. Oh,
34:58
no. Yeah. Right. Opposite. And I
35:00
mean, this smells like toilet stock or like
35:02
a nana's hamper, I'm not full.
35:05
Oh, I am on board with both
35:07
of them. In fact, if
35:09
you were to put a like a personal fragrance,
35:11
it would definitely be called Nana's armpit. Nana's
35:14
outfit. Yeah. That's definitely it.
35:16
But doesn't that sound like a speakeasy as
35:18
well and like the linen
35:20
and thirties? No. It it sounds like
35:22
a bow that someone's opened in the northern quarter in Manchester.
35:24
So fucking hipster sweats opened
35:28
it. And you've got to walk, you know, like into a beer salad before you're
35:30
allowed to go to it, but you've got to, like, lift up
35:32
an old cinema seat and then climb through the gap
35:34
in the middle, which means that no fat people
35:36
can go. Did I tell about
35:38
the barrie manches that I went to?
35:40
I asked for a wine for somebody to
35:42
get me a sports direct mug and
35:45
I went I'm really sorry, but my friend's not drinking
35:47
out of that. So can I have
35:49
a glass, please?
35:52
Anyway, It ended up with me being
35:54
told to leave the bar. Are you serious? Yeah. So I
35:56
was like, what? On okay. Fine.
36:00
And we all left. And I I got a satisfied with the bounce.
36:02
And are they fucking really when, look,
36:04
he said to do this all the time. And I was like,
36:06
what a bunch of hits to concerts? He's like, yeah.
36:09
Well, I won't say what I said as I was asked as as as I
36:11
left, but we'll keep that bit in the
36:14
bar. But, yeah, absolute
36:17
fucking one, because That I mean, that's totally reasonable. All I said
36:19
was, oh, I'm ever so sorry. I can't ever think my friend's
36:21
not drinking out of that. That is that's
36:24
reasonable. I'm paying seven quid for a fucking glass of
36:26
wine. I want it in
36:28
a glass Yeah. I agree. I totally agree. The sports are egg
36:30
do you know what that is as well? That's that fetishization
36:34
of poverty? Abs
36:36
of fucking loot by people
36:38
who don't experience it? Yeah. There's
36:40
so many problems with it. Like, oh, well, like,
36:42
that's that's all we have. Like, That's
36:45
how we serve our wine. That's kind of what
36:47
we do here. Is
36:50
it? What are you fucking wild
36:52
bird? Anyway, I'm not gonna get
36:54
into that. That's it. You know what? I
36:56
it annoyed me so much that. I don't even want it in my memory.
36:58
Okay. Sorry. Well, I
37:01
was talking about candles. Thanks
37:04
so. Every night one, my partner and I go
37:06
to bed will sort of
37:08
like, you know, you do the rounds. So you, like, switch
37:10
all the lights off. Check the doors. No
37:12
bother candles. Stuff out the kind
37:14
of kiss the dog goodbye. Also now shut the little cut
37:16
in his cage. So
37:20
On my dog, you may or may not know as a broken back,
37:22
so he can't feel his back legs, so he can't walk.
37:24
So as a little cage, you've got
37:26
a wheelchair is fine. Yeah. He's fine.
37:29
It's the most popular geography. Fucking
37:31
how do you go? Yeah. He's
37:33
happier because he gets carried everywhere
37:35
he wants to go, or he's in his wheelchair
37:37
chasing shit round. So at the
37:39
time, he's fine. He's having a very good time. So he's in
37:41
his little cage where he can watch
37:44
everything. And we leave we never shut the
37:46
door on it. We never, you know, because it's one of those
37:48
dog cages a crate where you can transport them. We just leave it open
37:50
so we can, like, busy himself and, like, help
37:52
himself to water and stuff.
37:54
Well, let me fucking
37:56
tell you For a dog that can't walk, can get up living
37:58
room every night and clear up any chocolate
38:00
or food that's been left in there. No.
38:02
Yeah. And we haven't been, like, we've
38:04
been much more lucky since
38:07
he's been disabled about, like, not you know, you do a sweep
38:09
when you got a dog, like, oh, don't leave anything
38:11
they could eat at, like, sort
38:13
of nose level. Be like, it's
38:15
fine. He's he's in his cage. He can't walk.
38:17
Well, the little stunt has been making his
38:20
way into the living room of an
38:22
evening. He has taken
38:24
a while without his fucking wheels on, mate. Yeah. Without his wheels
38:26
on, like, a seal. So he
38:28
climbs out of his cage, which
38:30
is like, he's gotta sort of jump over the
38:32
first pair. And then he takes
38:34
himself through the kitchen. Oh,
38:36
he also goes through the kitchen as well because we've
38:38
now put a baby gate across into the living
38:40
room to stop him from
38:42
doing overnight. He found that. And then he
38:44
was like, alright, walking over the kitchen, found two fat balls meant for the birds, and then
38:46
spent the whole day pissing out his ass as
38:48
a result of it. Oh
38:51
my god. Don't message me about chocolate. He's fine. We've had him
38:53
check with the vets all good, but
38:55
he hasn't chocolate. whole
38:58
box of crackers for cheese. He
39:00
had those rosemary flavored ones. He
39:02
had those Christmas Eve too. Yeah.
39:05
Would you know what the other thing? Yeah. You know
39:07
you know, matchsticks you have at Christmas? Yeah. Yeah.
39:09
Yeah. Yeah. What'd he got it the wrong way around? Because he
39:11
ate an actual box of
39:14
wooden matchsticks. I think it's because that's the one I used to
39:16
like the candles, but by where I also eat
39:18
the food, so I must have picked it up and had like
39:20
food on my hands. And he's been like, this
39:22
smells like
39:24
food. And then just ripped open the box and matches, ate some
39:26
of them and then went, oh, that's not what I was after.
39:28
And then he'd he'd reposition himself back
39:31
in his cage. No.
39:34
He sometimes would this is the thing is he will
39:36
go, what have I done? If anyone's got
39:38
dogs, they will know this that they sometimes go.
39:42
You can see them almost with their head and their hand shaking their head, like, what have I done? And
39:44
I told her, oh, back if I could. So he's
39:46
basically as far as he can be away
39:48
from us, which is the door to
39:50
the outside to the garden, and he's looking as like a fucked
39:53
up big style guys as
39:55
there's like a trail of devastation
39:57
behind him when he's basically
39:59
trying to leave the house before we get
40:02
up. No. He's
40:04
fucking He's trying to get out of the house. Yes.
40:06
He's trying to get out of the house. He's appalling.
40:10
Oh, god. All this is me trying
40:12
to say. One of the things we do when
40:14
we're doing the checks is
40:16
my partner I have to go up the stairs
40:18
and he has to blow the candles up because the smell of a snuffed out candle
40:20
makes me feel fucking violently I
40:23
hate it. It's disgusting. It's
40:26
disgusting. Oh, I love it. No.
40:28
No. No. No. No. No. No. That's what I said. And I was like,
40:30
you hate it. It's the see kind
40:32
of like, oh, I don't like it. How
40:34
weird? I think that's one of the the
40:36
nice smiles in life there. No.
40:39
And sometimes I'll be like dozing on the sofa
40:41
and, you know, the candle will burn down to the
40:43
end and the smell of it going out will
40:45
wake me up. So weird. I
40:47
find it disagreeable. Wow. We should talk about the
40:49
other comps. Okay. Well, here's the other
40:52
comps. I've got point form
40:54
here. Leslie
40:56
Van Houghton. She's still in prison.
40:58
Mhmm. She's done a degree,
41:00
and she runs self help
41:02
groups. She's had twenty per roles
41:04
denied. Okay. Patricia
41:06
Krumwinkle, who when she
41:08
shaved her hair was an
41:10
absolute wing knot, wasn't
41:12
she? See, I
41:14
sticky out is. I think they're quite charming.
41:16
I do. I thank you. It's such a
41:18
disagreeable person. I will call her
41:20
a wing knot. She is in prison still.
41:23
She's known as cranny.
41:26
Cranny. Cranny,
41:28
she's done a degree. And she's
41:31
been denied parole ten times. Susan
41:34
Atkins, one of the biggest comps in this
41:36
whole saga. She is she is. I've got
41:38
loads of
41:40
flat as well. Became born again, Christian.
41:42
Got married twice in prison. Two
41:44
thousand nine, she died of brain cancer.
41:48
She knew it wasn't. She never stopped fighting back in prison. So she
41:50
didn't use to have regular psychiatric
41:52
evaluations, and she would argue
41:54
all the way through them She
41:56
often refused to do them. She'd be very defensive. She just wouldn't. And this
41:58
is part of her parole is that
42:01
she have these examinations. And
42:03
in two thousand one of the people who
42:05
is assessing her said to the
42:08
parole board, I can only
42:10
conclude based on her behavior that she still
42:12
has a serious problem with authority and
42:14
has an assumed an extremely adversarial
42:16
approach to psychiatric evaluation.
42:19
Okay. So this is very strange
42:21
thing that they do. In June two thousand five,
42:23
she's up for parole again. And they
42:25
bring the victim's families in. Basically, they say, kind of,
42:27
have you got anything to
42:29
say for yourself? And
42:31
she refuses to talk about the crimes or apologize for
42:34
them in front of the families.
42:36
Mhmm. Now the math
42:38
thing about that is that if she had said,
42:40
I did this And I'm sorry for this, and
42:43
I want to apologize. She probably would
42:45
have got parole. Mhmm. But
42:47
her refusal to acknowledge that she
42:49
did anything wrong. This is
42:52
her mother thing. So she's in
42:54
the prison. They have a special sort of
42:56
chain of gyms called curves. Where the
42:59
women work out. And in two thousand eight, she was doing an exercise class there, and
43:01
she had a fucking massive seizure.
43:03
And that's when they found out that she
43:05
had brain cancer. So
43:08
she's dead a year later? Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
43:10
she has she has quite a hard time with the house
43:12
in the end there. She has a a leg amputated
43:15
and yeah. Then she never
43:18
really recovered from that. And they
43:20
tried to get her released at the end of her life.
43:22
You know, because you can get is it compassionate
43:24
release when someone's dying? Yeah. I mean, where's she gonna
43:26
go there? Well, indeed. But you know, if the fucking
43:28
craze, you you know, plenty
43:30
of awful people get compassionate release. I
43:32
mean, to be honest with you, having
43:34
brain cancer, probably better off in
43:36
prison. You're gonna get treated. Yeah,
43:38
maybe. But you know one of the people
43:40
who came out and said, yeah, let
43:42
her kind of die at home or out
43:44
of prison. Is a
43:47
is Vincent Bubliosi, the
43:49
former prosecutor, and he actually
43:51
petitioned for it. And he said, listen, just because she
43:53
showed no mercy, it doesn't mean
43:56
that we should be as intuitive as
43:58
heller and show her
44:00
no mercy. Well,
44:02
whatever. You know, everyone's in town
44:04
to their opinion. I'm saying Well, Debjitite,
44:07
you know, Sharon's sister was like,
44:09
keep it locked up. I've got loads of
44:11
compassion, but she can she can just
44:13
die in jail quite frankly. Yeah. I mean, I mean, don't get
44:15
around. I'm so sorry she's got brain cancer and that must
44:17
be horrific. And I hope, you know, you should be
44:19
treated compassionately with that and treat it to the best of of
44:21
the medical ability, but you
44:24
still look on -- Yes. -- stay where
44:26
you are. She's still a con yeah.
44:28
So, yeah, she was denied denied compassionate release,
44:30
and she yeah. Like you said, she died
44:32
September twenty fourth two thousand and
44:35
nine in prison. Speak to prison gyms. I've
44:37
definitely mentioned this before. A friend of mine knows a prison
44:40
chaplain who Filla at the prison that
44:42
rolls Westies
44:44
in. What, passed and saw her on a cross trainer. That was
44:46
so weird. It's so fucking
44:48
weird. That pops into my head about
44:51
three times a year, you know. Rums
44:54
crossed the cross I imagine you're in,
44:56
like, eighties workout gear as well. Bobby
45:00
Boseley. Yes.
45:02
He's in a medical facility prison. He's at his parole
45:04
denied. He's going nowhere. He's still
45:06
making music in jail, which should be
45:09
pleased to know. Well,
45:12
Charles Munson. Now one of his former followers
45:14
says Charles Munson got away
45:16
with everything. People will say he's in exactly
45:18
where he wants to be.
45:22
So he I
45:24
mean, it don't forget he is someone who always wanted to go back to prison.
45:26
So he applied for parole
45:28
numerous times. He was in
45:32
maximum security prison. He was always
45:34
refused parole. Now, he
45:36
was a fucking troublemaker. He
45:38
assaulted about half a dozen
45:42
prison guards during his time there. He
45:44
worked in the prison chapel from about
45:46
nineteen eighty,
45:48
and he This is fucking
45:50
mad. Here's all the things he had stashed in the
45:52
prison chapel. Weed.
45:54
A hundred feet of
45:58
nylon rope. Right. And you'll love this one, Rachel. A
46:00
male order catalog for hot air
46:02
balloons. Brilliant. What was he planning?
46:04
And what if I
46:06
could get
46:08
away? Now, he he wrote a book. And did he
46:10
say to someone on the outside, hey, listen.
46:12
I want some things that gonna get me high
46:14
and he got weed and that's all miss
46:17
interpreting it and gave the hot air
46:19
balloon catalog. He wrote
46:21
a book in nineteen
46:24
eighty six called Manson in his
46:26
own words. It's a
46:28
mad. The the bits I've read from it are
46:30
crackers heat. There's a there's a quote about him
46:32
saying, yeah, my eyes are cameras and my
46:34
mind is tuned to more television channels than
46:37
existing your world, and it suffers
46:39
no censorship. Through it, I have a world
46:41
and the universe as my own,
46:43
like, okay, babies. That's fucking shit night, if I'm honest. They
46:46
in November two thousand and
46:48
fourteen, the California Department
46:51
of Corrections gets eighty e mail
46:53
saying, can you please grant a marriage
46:56
license to this eighty year old
46:58
man, his name is
47:00
Charles Munson. Emmie,
47:02
she married a few times, isn't it? This is a I
47:05
think it's married twice. Right? After the
47:07
Lane Burton is twenty six
47:10
years old. And
47:12
was petitioning for his
47:14
release, and she says, I love
47:16
him. I'm with him. There's all kinds
47:18
of things, which I think means that
47:20
they're banging. And
47:22
obviously, Debratte who's remained a campaign.
47:24
It was like, I think this is fucking
47:26
insane and said, this is
47:28
proof that the devil is alive and well.
47:30
I just tell me where does it end for people that have been
47:32
affected by what these people have done
47:35
to keep hearing about
47:38
these constant, you know, freedoms that
47:40
they get and perks really.
47:42
Yeah. I just think it's out
47:44
of order. He is also found
47:48
with a fucking mobile phone in two thousand and
47:50
nine. And he'd been phoning how to use
47:52
one of them. But he'd been
47:54
phoning people
47:56
in Florida, California, New Jersey, British Columbia. They don't
47:58
know who, and they don't know who's even in.
48:00
I don't know. I'm they
48:03
don't know what he was doing, but they were like,
48:05
we can't prove it was used. You know, I reckon
48:07
I reckon that's probably people that have written to him and
48:09
in some coded way of managed to give these
48:11
fuck the phone number. I think it's that as
48:13
well. Yeah. Yeah. And they said that they couldn't
48:15
prove though that he committed a crime with it. So
48:17
it was just a violation. It wasn't
48:20
an act criminal act, which means it didn't affect his
48:22
sentence. But he's obviously
48:24
repeatedly denied parole. Also,
48:26
one of the reasons why is
48:28
that he was a fucking
48:30
troublemaker and apparently he was
48:32
really controlling over the
48:34
inmates. They think that he had
48:36
schizophrenia and paranoid
48:38
delusional disorder. Not those are the things that mean that you should be put in prison, but
48:40
that combined with his past -- Mhmm. -- was
48:42
a pretty compelling reason to keep him
48:44
in there. They thought he was still
48:46
a danger. I think he
48:48
dies waiting for another parole
48:50
thing. Yes. I mean, he's going
48:52
nowhere anyway.
48:54
No. dies
48:56
in two thousand seventeen. He's in
48:58
hospital at this point in California
49:01
of natural causes It's November the
49:03
nineteenth, and he passes away. He eighty three years old, which is a fucking
49:06
good old age. Isn't it? Not a
49:08
bad innings? So
49:10
I think we've covered have we covered everyone? Now it's
49:12
a couple more. What I will say about Charles Manson as
49:14
well. I was doing so I
49:17
was god. During the first lockdown, I went down a rabbit hole
49:19
of looking at stuff. I ended up on
49:22
a a murder bellier website to
49:24
start a curiosity and you could have you
49:26
could have bought Charles Manson's prison wall worn
49:28
under pumps. Oh my god. Yeah.
49:30
No. Thank you. Oh, do you know also
49:32
in November two thousand and nine,
49:34
there's this who LA Matti Roberts,
49:38
and he
49:41
basically had all this evidence that he was
49:44
Charles Munson's kid. Oh, now
49:46
a his mom was in a
49:48
Munson member and she's
49:50
been raped by she said she'd been raped by Charles Munson in these
49:52
letters. Mhmm. And then she hit as soon
49:54
as she she found out she's pregnant, she left, and
49:56
went back
49:58
home. And was like, right. Okay. I'm just gonna give birth and I'm
50:00
gonna get this baby out of my life. So he was born
50:02
March twenty second nineteen sixty eight.
50:05
And is given up for adoption pretty much
50:07
straight away. There's no
50:10
DNA test that I'm aware of, but Charles Munson
50:12
was like, yeah, that's I could be the
50:14
dad. Which means that he was
50:16
his way of saying he did rate that
50:18
woman. Right. Okay. This
50:21
was about two years before they
50:23
started murdering anyone. I don't know if that's good or bad. Like, he was a murderer, but
50:25
he wasn't a murderer when
50:27
he fathered me. Right.
50:30
Okay. Why I don't get what you tell anyone.
50:32
No, I don't. I mean, if you thought he
50:34
was your dad's, there's probably people that have found
50:36
that out that have just been like, oh, well,
50:39
There we go. Do you think it's like a PR thing? Sorry
50:41
to sound really cynical.
50:44
I honestly don't know. I just just
50:46
maybe maybe someone thinks A
50:49
story is a story, isn't it? Can
50:51
can I tell you when I've said he's
50:53
a DJ, to to clarify, he's a local
50:56
radio DJ. Oh, I imagine
50:58
that. Yeah. I wasn't imagining, you know,
51:02
David Getter. anything
51:04
like that. Although some of the stuff he
51:06
plays won't be surprised Charles Manson was he's
51:08
dead, it's always dead basically. And
51:10
and also, here's what I will
51:13
say. I refuse to watch any of these interviews with
51:15
Charles Manson. I think he got far too
51:17
much publicity for him. Yeah. I think he
51:19
was far too,
51:22
you know, it was encouraged too much I think and he, you
51:24
know, we've heard his side of the story. That's
51:26
it. You're in prison now. Shut
51:28
your mouth. I all these
51:30
interviews with him. I refuse to watch them. I'm not
51:32
interested. The rumblings of a
51:34
madman. And -- Yeah. -- I just think
51:36
it's very
51:38
disrespectful the the the rest of the the gang.
51:41
Clint Grogan was released
51:43
in nineteen eighty five. Mered
51:45
in prison twice and had two son no. Margin in
51:48
prison once had two sons lives in
51:50
California now and he's in a band. Now
51:52
here's the person I hate,
51:54
Lynette Froome. Squeeaker.
51:56
Absolute weirdo, in my opinion,
51:58
moved to Sacramento in nineteen
52:00
seventy five. She aimed at
52:02
gun at Gerald Ford. The gun wasn't
52:05
loaded, but she still was given
52:07
a life in prison for this.
52:09
She escaped briefly. And in two
52:11
thousand nine, she was paroled age
52:13
sixty. I don't think she should have been. No. Sandra
52:15
Good. She should have. Yeah. She
52:17
got ten years in prison.
52:19
She was released which was
52:21
obsessed with Manson and moved to California to
52:24
be nearer to him. Mhmm.
52:26
Linda Cusabian, as we know,
52:28
in she got immunity to
52:30
testify him, Mhmm. Part of the reason that was
52:32
involved, I think, was she was the only
52:34
one who was legally allowed to drive.
52:37
So they're used as a getaway driver. She
52:40
obviously testified against them. She just lives
52:42
a quiet life now apparently.
52:44
My brother. I can't remember
52:46
first name. I do apologize. Actually,
52:48
why am I apologizing to the person's
52:50
Anatoo. She was the one who had the child with child's
52:52
manson that the girl poo bear. She was
52:54
released from prison eventually. She now lives
52:56
in the Midwest. She has a
52:58
quiet life. K. Please
53:00
let that be all. I think that's
53:02
it. We've done it Rachel. We've done
53:04
it. I've closed the book that I
53:06
have here on the mom's and family. I've slammed
53:08
it closed. I don't. I don't know what happened with it because I can't find more
53:10
information, but I do know that Charles Munson
53:12
made his will out to that guy, that
53:14
DJ. Oh, great. Here's my prison worn
53:16
under pumps.
53:18
Well, no, because they'll be fucking of money from the book there?
53:20
Here's my hot air balloon catalog.
53:23
Killa, thank you.
53:26
I will treasure this forever.
53:28
Do you know what I always think of? Right?
53:30
I'm sorry to invoke. Probably one
53:32
of them is disgusting people who talks about in this,
53:34
but Marilyn
53:36
Monster Uh-huh. You know Marla Munson, like, how he
53:38
got his name. And so he didn't he picked something
53:40
the most beautiful thing in the worst
53:43
It was the most loved person and the
53:46
most hated person. So Marilyn
53:48
Monroe and Charles Munson
53:50
is what he ended up with, but
53:52
that's not that's
53:54
not actually what would happen. Right? That's
53:56
that's not the most loved person and
53:58
the most hated person. You would
54:01
be called like Adolph Alison Hammond, but it's
54:04
not Audrey. Adolph Jesus.
54:07
Yeah. Adolph Christ. But
54:10
Adolph Christ, yeah, or Adolph
54:12
mom, you
54:15
know, I think the fact that
54:17
it's more a better option. Can I just be honest
54:19
and say that you're being a shock jockey? You fucking
54:22
creep. Yeah.
54:24
He's I mean, never liked his I've I've done that thing. I hate you when
54:26
people do that. Never liked his music everywhere.
54:28
Never liked him everywhere. Yes,
54:30
sir. I do. I thought there
54:32
were some buggers in there, but Yeah. Not not for me.
54:35
Not not my bag. Never never enjoyed
54:37
it. What kind of music is
54:40
it? Goth, Yes. Gosh is Gosh is fair.
54:42
Yeah. Have you not heard disposable
54:44
teens? No. That's probably the
54:46
biggest single outside of the cover of
54:48
personal Jesus.
54:50
And it was very much not not my Yeah. It doesn't seem like
54:52
your bag. Not my bag. So
54:54
that's it. That we've done it. And we've got
54:57
