The sister of Sharon Tate criticized the prison release of Manson Family member Leslie Van Houten in a new interview: 'We're talking about one of the most murderous cults in America. Is it worth giving that a free pass?'
just days after Van Houten’s release to a “transitional living facility” after 53 years in prison, Debra Tate said, “Is she a nice girl? No. Is she an animal? I think she was then, and I fear that she still is.” after five failed attempts at parole since 2016; each time, the acting California governor overturned the parole board’s recommendation for her release, but current Governor Gavin Newsom announced earlier in the month that he would not contest the board’s decision this time around.
“The Governor is disappointed by the Court of Appeal’s decision to release Ms. Van Houten but will not pursue further action as efforts to further appeal are unlikely to succeed,” a spokesperson for the governor said in a statement. Thus, Van Houten became the first convicted member of the Manson Family to be released from prison.
While Van Houten was not involved in the murder of Sharon Tate and four others at the actress’ home — she was convicted in the 1969 murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, admitting in court that she, then 19 years old, stabbed the latter 14 to 16 times — Debra Tate told ABC News that her involvement with the Manson Family should have disqualified her from release.
“We’re talking about one of the most murderous cults in America. Is it worth giving that a free pass?” Debra Tate, who has reportedly attended the parole hearings of all the Manson Family members, said. “There are a lot of people that I would give a free pass, but these people are not amongst them.”
