Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten's parole bid denied again
Fox News
The California Supreme Court has denied a potential bid for freedom by Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten following Gov. Gavin Newsom's rejection of her parole.
That petition challenged what it termed a denial of due process by Newsom in reversing a 2020 parole board recommendation. It also said Newsom had refused to provide documents indicating when the board referred the case to him and argued that there was a "strong possibility"" that he exceeded a 30-day time limit for review.
An email to Van Houten's attorney, Rich Pfeiffer, seeking comment wasn't immediately returned Thursday night.
