California governor blocks Charles Manson follower’s paroleSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s governor blocked the parole of Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel on Friday, more than five decades after she scrawled “Helter Skelter” on a wall using the blood of one of their victims.She and other followers of the cult leader terrorized the state in the late 1960s, committing crimes that Newsom said “were among the most fear-inducing in California’s history.”Mamie Till depiction seen as tribute to Black female leadersActivists in UK court after soup thrown at Van Gogh pictureMel Gibson can testify at Harvey Weinstein trial, judge saysReview: Does 'Halloween Ends' finally mean it's over?But Anthony DiMaria, nephew of Jay Sebring, one of Krenwinkel’s victims, had urged Newsom to block her release “due to the rare, severe, egregious nature of her crimes.” He said her actions incited “the entire Helter Skelter legacy that has caused permanent historical scars” and inspired at least two ritualized killings years later.Instead, she said Manson abused her and others physically and emotionally while requiring that they trust him without question, testimony that led the parole panel to conclude that Krenwinkel was a victim of intimate partner battery at the time.The bone-handled fork “was part of a set that we used at holidays ... to carve our turkeys,” the couple’s nephew Louis Smaldino, told parole officials, calling Krenwinkel “a vicious and uncaring killer.”Sharon Tate’s sister, Debra Tate, the last surviving member of her immediate family, was among victims who dismissed Krenwinkel’s explanation that she was led to Manson by alcohol use and a non-supportive family while growing up."
