Gavin Newsom Gives Up on Appeal for Parole of Charles Manson Follower<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has made the difficult decision to end his efforts to appeal the parole of convicted murderer and Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom&#8217;s determination to prevent Van Houten&#8217;s parole was evident in his fourth and final appeal, which took place in May. However, his efforts were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rust-armorer-breaks-silence-blames-producers-i-have-no-idea-where-live-ammunition-came-from\/\" title=\"'Rust' Armorer Breaks Silence, Blames Producers: I Have 'No Idea' Where Live Ammunition Came From\">ultimately overruled<\/a> by a California appeals court.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The governor is disappointed by the Court of Appeal&#8217;s decision to release Ms. Van Houten but will not pursue further action as efforts to further appeal are unlikely to succeed,&#8221; Newsom&#8217;s communications director Erin Mellon said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Van Houten&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-to-stop-further-appeal-of-manson-follower-leslie-van-houtens-parole\/\" title=\"Newsom halts appeal for Manson follower Van Houten's parole.\">conviction dates back<\/a> to 1971 when she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">found guilty<\/a> of participating in the brutal murders of actress Sharon Tate, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring, Polish movie director Voityck Frykowski, and Steven Parent. At the time, Van Houten was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-chinese-dissident-says-dangerous-wokeness-truly-authoritarian-not-donald-trump\/\" title=\"WATCH \u2013 Chinese Dissident Says 'Dangerous' Wokeness Truly Authoritarian, Not Donald Trump\">devoted follower<\/a> of Manson, who was also convicted for his involvement in the crimes. Alongside Van Houten, fellow followers Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel were also convicted and initially sentenced to death.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972, California abolished the death penalty, resulting in the sparing of Van Houten, Atkins, Krenwinkel, and Manson. Manson passed away in prison in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In a surprising turn of events, the parole board recommended Van Houten&#8217;s release in September 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, will abandon his attempts to appeal the parole of Leslie Van Houten, a convicted murderer and Charles Manson follower.
