life in prison should mean life in prison period...what a fucking joke.

Grogan was, in all likelihood, the person who accompanied Manson on a return trip to the Tate house that night, moving bodies around and leaving "red herring" clues to try and throw police off their trail. He is just as much of a conspirator as any of them, and his parole was a travesty. I hope he has regular nightmares to remind him of what a gutless piece of trash he is.

The only person from the Manson family that should be free is Linda Kasabian, who refused to participate in the killings, showed remorse from the beginning, cooperated with the prosecution and testified against Manson and the others.

i don't believe grogan is at all dumb......if he's dumb then i'm a total retard because he was able to play and sing all those song manson wrote at age 18 -- great voice great guitar player and memorized all those words......the average person doesn't realize what it takes to do that at such an age.........as for him being a pedophile: everyone is a pedophile today if they so much as pet a child on the head.

Clem was a moron , and total idiot !!!

I find it odd that Tates mom is encouraging the fact that these "10" people are saying that if the Manson family ever gets out of prision, they'll kill them. Why would these 10 people murder if they're so against the Mansons for murdering? The people obviously support murder in some way if they plan on murdering, killing is killing. So these 10 people and Tates mom are clearly no more above the influence of killing than the Mansons are. Either that or the "free people" are trying to sound hard.

Oh the Political parole board decided he had Changed!! Grogan is a low life idiot. If that's true, the rest of them have a Chance! NOT!!!

I always thought that it was Steve Grogen that went to the Tate house after the killers returned. But I read from a reliable source that it was Nancy Pitman that went with Manson to the Tate house. Steve Grogen gets parole after 13 years and after 41 years, they still won't parole Lesley Van Houten. Killing is not what matters, it's who you kill that matters. Parole Board Politics!!

there all no good and i believe that charlie is home in prison.there are a lot of people who arnt loved as children and beat and molested like manson was its just too bad he didnt have compasion for others because he knew what being a victim was and went the other way. i think there is more than a mentall illness with him too i think he is psychotic.well i dont mean theyre no good as people I mean in society.
