Kenneth Como, arrested, along with other Manson family members for the Hawthorne and Covina
robberies. Extraordinary security measures were taken during the trial, in part because the defense
had called as witnesses what Judge Arthur Alarcon labeled "the biggest collection of murderers in
Los Angeles County at one time." Twelve convicted killers, including Manson, Beausoleil, Atkins,
Krenwinkel, Van Houten, Grogan, and Davis, took the stand. Their presence in one place made
everyone a little nervous. Especially since by this time the Family had discovered that the Hall
of Justice was not escapeproof.

Kenneth Como, arrested, along with other Manson family members: Mary brunner, Catherine Share,
Dennis Rice, Charles Lovett, and Lawrence Bailey for the robbery of the Western Surplus Store in
Hawthorne on August 21, 1971 to steal guns and amunition for a plot by the Manson family to
free Charles Manson from prison. After their arrest it was also learned that the same group was
also involved in a robbery of a Covina beer distributorship on August 13.
