Shown here following court appearance [in 1970?]. Watson was 23 yrs. old, tall, powerfully built,
a one-time high school football and track star from Farmersville, Texas. Once a top student, he
became a mindless robot who slavishly followed Manson's orders. He shot Steven Parent, beat
Voytek Frykowski to death with a revolver, stabbed Abigail Folger repeatedly and killed her, and
murdered Leno LaBianca by stabbing him repeatedly with a knife. After the murders he had gone
home to Collin County, Texas where his influential relatives managed to fight off extradition for
some time. He was finally returned to California where he was placed on trial for murder.
Currently he is serving a life sentence.
