Leslie Van Houten
Leslie Louise Van Houten (born August 23, 1949) is a former member of Charles Manson's "Family" who is in prison (convicted 1971) for the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Van Houten was initially convicted at the main Charles Manson trial. At trial Van Houten repeatedly dismissed defense lawyers for blaming her actions on Manson's control over her. She also confessed to a murder she had not committed in an attempt to clear Manson.
Van Houten, two other women, and Manson were sentenced to death, but a year later all death penalties in the state were commuted to life imprisonment. Due to the death of her lawyer during the trial, Van Houten's convictions were thrown out on appeal, and she was granted a new trial. At this trial, her main defense was diminished responsibility from chronic use of hallucinogens having made her susceptible to Manson's influence. The jury could not agree on a verdict. At a third trial, she was convicted, and sentenced to two concurrent life sentences. In relation to her case courts ruled that in deciding to deny parole, the crime committed by an inmate could outweigh any evidence of their subsequent reform. Predictions have been made by former prosecutors in her case that her two murder convictions might not prevent her being released, although that would be without precedent in California.
==Early life==
Van Houten was born on August 23, 1949 in the Los Angeles suburb of Altadena and grew up in a middle-class family. She had an older brother, and an adopted younger brother and sister, who were Korean. Van Houten was initially a regular churchgoer. Her parents were divorced when she was 14, the same year she began a relationship with an older man and had an abortion.
