Officials Release Charles Manson Photo At 74

California corrections officials have released this photo of Charles Manson taken today. The 40th anniversary of the killings for which he was convicted will be this August.

I always wondered what Charles Manson would look like as an old man. I see some, what I describe, remorse in his eyes. Time does its work. However, another friend of mine commented as Manson having scary eyes at 74.

But the public seems to be divided over the photo of Charles Manson. Is it right or wrong?

Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) is an American criminal who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in California in the late 1960s.[1][2][3] He was found guilty of conspiracy to commit the Tate/LaBianca murders, which members of the group carried out at his instruction. Through the joint-responsibility rule of conspiracy,[4] he was convicted of the murders themselves.

Manson is associated with "Helter Skelter," the term he took from the Beatles song of that name and construed as an apocalyptic race war the murders were putatively intended to precipitate. This connection with rock music linked him, from the beginning of his notoriety, with pop culture, in which he became an emblem of insanity, violence, and the macabre. Ultimately, the term was used as the title of the book that prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi wrote about the Manson murders.
