Day 24 - Shimelle's LSNED Class

Always the true crime buff...

Today I learned that the Manson Family murderer Susan Atkins died of brain cancer on this day, exactly where she should have been....BEHIND BARS!

Atkins had been trying for a grant of Compassionate Release from her life sentences, but was denied on every level. To quote the Governator, Arnold Schwartzenegger:
"I don't believe in [compassionate release]. I think that they have to stay in, they have to serve their time ... [T]hose kinds of crimes are just so unbelievable that I'm not for the compassionate release."
