Yup! Charlie Manson is tying the knot. Manson is serving a life sentence for the brutal slayings of 7 people, including actress Sharon Tate and supermarket executive Leno LaBianca. And while Chuck didn't play an active role in either of the butcherings, he did order them, and his followers in the Manson "Family" carried them out.
That was back in 1969. Chuck's been serving life since being found guilty in 1971. Originally, he (and some of his other minions) were sentenced to death, but those were commuted.
And now, at age 80, he's getting married to a 26 year old woman, Afton Burton, who left her Midwestern home 9 years ago, and has been trying to exonerate Chuck since. No date has been set, but apparently it has to happen before February 7th next year, or Charlie will have to re-apply for a license.
As for the "why": Well, she says she loves the guy. She also said she is interested in working on his case, and marrying him would allow her to get information not available to nonrelatives. But don't worry, there will not be any "wedding night", even if Chuck can get it up at his age. Under California law, as a life prisoner with no parole date, Manson is not entitled to family visits.
He can, however, invite 10 guests to the nuptials, so long as they're not inmates. Lets just hope this son of a bitch dies first.
'Nuff said
