Keep Manson family cult member, Leslie Van Houten, in jail

The Issue

 

Sharon Tate, shown here holding baby clothes

 

Sharon Tate, an American actress and promising model, was a mother, wife, daughter, and sister. Her life, along with the lives of her unborn baby and five friends, was brutally taken by the Manson Family cult. Leslie Van Houten, a member of this cult, participated in the senseless murders that shook the nation.

Doris Tate, Sharon's mother, devoted her life to ensuring that those responsible for her daughter's death remained incarcerated. She tirelessly attended parole hearings, praying that justice would prevail, and that no one else would suffer at the hands of these individuals. Her fight was a testament to the love she held for her daughter and the desire to protect other families from facing similar tragedies.

Leslie Van Houten was not just a participant; she was an accomplice who wrote unsettling messages at the crime scene, symbolizing the heinous actions that took place. It's a chilling reminder of the lack of empathy and respect for human life shown by the cult members.

Granting parole to Van Houten not only undermines the gravity of her crimes but also disrespects the memory of Sharon Tate and the innocent lives lost. It sets a dangerous precedent that could potentially endanger society by releasing someone who was involved in one of the most notorious crimes in American history.

We appeal to the justice system to uphold the life sentence that was deemed appropriate for the severity of Van Houten's crimes. Keeping her in jail is not only a matter of justice but also of public safety and respect for the victims and their families.

Please sign this petition to prevent Leslie Van Houten from being released on parole. Let's honor the memory of Sharon Tate and stand against the possibility of such violence taking place again. Together, we can send a message that justice must remain steadfast and that these crimes cannot go unpunished.
