Charles Milles MANSON

 
 
 

 

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.

 

 

Left to right, Lawrence Bailey, Kenneth Como, and Dennis Rice are taken from Hall of Justice courtroom
after arraignment for Hawthorne shootout. They were arrested along with other Manson family
members: Mary Brunner, Catherine Share, and Charles Lovett for the robbery of the Western
Surplus Store in Hawthorn on August 21, 1971 to steel guns and amunition for a plot by the
Manson family to free Charles Manson from prison.

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
control the trial proceedings by influencing Family members over whom he still had great influence.

 

 

Charles Manson, accompanied by security officer, is seen making some type of symbol with
his hands. Manson delighted in the limelight. He had finally found the attention he had
sought all his life. The duration of his trial can be judged by the growth of his hair.
