Today’s talker: Updated Charlie Manson mug shot
The Los Angeles Times today scored an updated mug shot of infamous “Helter Skelter” murder mastermind Charles Manson:
The Times‘ Andrew Blankstein reports:
California corrections officials released a photograph taken Wednesday of aging convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, replete with receding hairline, fading forehead swastika carving and a thick, heavily graying beard.
Manson, of course, was convicted of leading his cult followers in the murders of seven people in August 1969.
Now 74, Manson is up for his next parole heraring in 2012. He’s been turned down in 11 previous parole bids since 1978, Blankstein reports.
