@stregalilith4 months ago I was in LA when the trial was going on and paying attention although I wasn't a lawyer yet. Three things stand out to me after reading Tom O'Neill's book: 1) Vince Bugliosi was a known liar, very ambitious, and would say anything to enhance his image; 2) in thirty years as a lawyer, much of it practicing in Los Angeles, I have rarely seen anything as meticulously documented as Tom O'Neill's book, "Chaos"; 2) I was a law student extern at the ACLU a few years later and the information Tom has on COINPRO is spot on. Further, Tom's father was a well regarded member of the legal profession and helped him document his findings in an honest, ethical and professional manner. To me, Tom O'Neill's reportage is credible. ... 72

@susangavaghan9 months ago The claim that Polanski had forced Sharon to have sex with other men and filmed it came as quite a shock. Although what he did to the 14 year old girl was bad. What I have noticed about him is that all his movies tend to be very dark and involve abuse, often of women. Sharon should have stuck with Jay Sebring, whom she left for Polanski. Jay died while trying to protect her. I believe Manson was just an ex con who had learned mind control techniques while in prison and knew how to say what people wanted to hear. His followers were vulnerable people at a time when young people were looking for gurus and answers. Manson just used and exploited them - although it doesn't excuse what they did. The whole Manson thing never really made any sense to me - the hippy movement was about peace, love and opposition to materialism and the Vietnam war. Murdering innocent people because they were famous and wealthy just didn't add up nor was in keeping with the hippy ethos. ... 57

@smuschlitz7 months ago This is the first time I've ever heard anything about Roman being abusive to Sharon. Although, I've always wondered if Roman could've possibly orchestrated the whole thing. After listening to this guy, it doesn't seem so crazy. If Roman truly was a monster, then he could have easily paid Terry to hire someone to get rid of Sharon. So Terry seeks out Manson, who may have been the one lunatic he knew who could pull this off. If the payment was setup as half upfront, and rest paid after the deed was done, it would've given Terry a very legitimate reason to visit Manson at the ranch after the murders. I've always been unusually attached to this case, and after watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, all I could think of was why anyone that wealthy would leave their pregnant spouse alone, without any security measures in place. It makes more sense than attacking just a random house, for some obscure vendetta against the previous tenants. ... 36

Doris believed that Manson thought that her son still lived in that house. The book is called "Doris Day : her own story" ... 53

@kellyposh83763 years ago One of my earliest memories is being in downtown L.A.

I’m guessing that’s why we were there that day). I must have been about 3 years old.
This day stands out in my memory... I remember walking down the street with my mom and older siblings. We were walking near the courthouse...there were a bunch of people outside the courthouse. And I just remember my mom redirecting us to cross the street from all the courthouse commotion...she grabbed my hand aggressively...and her grip on my hand was so tight it was hurting me as she half dragged me across the street. I remember looking at all the commotion and seeing two women with X’s on their foreheads heading towards the courthouse.

I've never bought the whole Helter Skelter thing. I'm more inclined to believe Satanism was involved and many powerful people in the enteryainment industry and Left Wing politics were peripherally involved. Enough to be extremely embarassing but not criminal. I wouldn't put anything beyond Polanski, who's a talented but very sketchy character. Growing up in LA, from a old LA family, I've had enough contact with Hollywood to know how evil it is. I try to keep my distance. I think that evil reached out and killed these people. ... 15

@theoverunderthinker7 months ago the thing is: a prosecutor is trying to get a conviction, so the motive they present to the jury is going to be one making them more willing to convict them. therefore you cannot expect the prosecutor's stated motive given at trial to be objective; they are doing a job.
so makes sense that what the prosecutor says the reason for the crime is something that is repulsive, because that would be more effective than something more mundane. ...

@yourmothercalledshesaid4763 years ago I remember reading a very gritty book entitled Sick City, where the MacGuffin of the story was an old 8mm reel of orgies that took place in the Tate household. The cast of characters in this book really stood out as depraved addicts that had no real interest in the film's contents, but only the opportunities it would afford on the black market.
Good read, kind of like a grimy L.A. version of Guy Ritchie's Snatch, but the diamond was instead a snuff film involving Sharon Tate and instead of wisecracking British tough guys, it was instead a cast of colorful addicts from skid row.
I want to give credit to my late brother for having the best taste in literature, culture, and history and leaving his niche library to me. Tony O'Neil would be just a name if it wasn't for my weirdo little brother.

@martinishotone week ago I remember about 12 years ago Tex Watson wanting to get out of prison made an offer to the county of Los Angeles tell him that he could lead authorities to all the other victims and he said there were many killed by the Manson family. Some of the original detectives on the case we're still living and I remember the local Los Angeles stations engineering them and every one of them agreed on one thing. Even if they did not agree about the offer from Tex Watson they agreed with what he said about additional murders. They all agreed it's just a tip of the iceberg what we associate with the family as far as who they killed. They all agreed it's dozens of other people that they killed as well there's no doubt in their minds. Representatives of the DA's office said there's no way they will take his offer because they think the public will thing really badly about them. But even after saying that they admitted that they know Tex Watson knows what he's talking about. If we actually had the list and backgrounds of all the people that killed I think it would be interesting cuz it might start to indicating that this guy in the interview here is right. That maybe the Manson family was available for the agency to kill people that they didn't want to dirty their hands with. ...
