Deana Martin testified for the prosecution. Here she arrives at Tex
Watson's trial. She had met Manson
at a party through Dennis Wilson
who introduced Manson to a number of people in the entertainment
industry. Manson and some of the Family members had moved in on
Dennis Wilson and had cost him
thousands of dollars, but Dennis
tried hard to sell Manson music to others. At this party Manson gave
Deana a ring and asked her to join the Family. Deana kept the ring,
which she later gave to her
husband, but declined Manson's
invitation.

Paul Fitzgerald was appointed by
Judge William Keene to represent Charles Manson on December 11,
1969. Brenda McCann was 18, at the time she was arrested at the
Spahn Ranch raid on October 9,
1969. She was eventually released
because it was decided that there was insufficient evidence
to
convict her. She later returned to rejoin the Family at Spahn Ranch.
Charles Manson tried to

Family members over whom he still had great influence.

had finally found the attention he had
sought all his life. The
