Manson Family Charles "Tex" Watson Parole Hearing Excerpts 1984 1987
May 1, 1984
SAN LUIS OBISPO, California
Charles Watson, 38 years old, convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder in the killings in 1969 of the actress Sharon Tate and six other people, was turned down by a three-member panel of the State Board of Prison Terms.
Mr. Watson has been denied parole six times by officials, who cited the shocking nature of the crime and psychiatric reports indicating he is still dangerous.
1987 Doris Tate speaks she was the first member of a victim's family ever to speak at a parole hearing and make a victim's impact statement, in the state of California. Doris actively campaigned to see that a law was passed to allow written or oral information about the impact of the crime on the victim and the victim's family at the sentencing hearing and parole hearing of their victimizer. The law was then picked up by the rest of the states in the nation and now victims and relatives of victims are able to have a voice at the trial and the parole hearings of the person who victimized them or their loved ones.
In 1987, a woman named Suzanne LeBerge began visiting Tex. LeBerge, who was actually Suzanne Struthers (Rosemary LaBianca's daughter), attended Watson's 1990 parole hearing, telling the parole board that because of Christ, Tex was a new man, no longer dangerous and should be released. Sharon Tate's mother, Doris, and other members of the LaBianca family made it clear that Suzanne wasn't speaking for the rest of them.
