According to a
published report in the Los Angeles Times, by staffer Matt Hamilton, dated Oct. 28, a California parole board has once again denied release to 'Manson Family' member
Charles "Tex" Watson.

Watson is in prison following the infamous August,
1969 killing spree by the Manson Family in the Los Angeles, California area. He was convicted on multiple counts of murder that very same year and was originally scheduled to be executed for his role in the home invasion and murder of movie actress
Sharon Tate, as well as several other persons that terrible summer.
However, in 1973, his death sentence was commuted to life in prison and he has remained behind prison walls since.
This recent denial marks the 17th time that
Charlie Manson's self-described 'right-hand man' has been turned down for release. Watson is currently being housed in the
Mule Creek State Prison, in Ione, California, which is about 40 miles from Sacramento.
