Manson was railroaded. He had no money, no defense, wasn't even allowed to speak during his trial. Tex Watson killed those people, not Manson. You rarely hear about Tex Watson. The D.A. concocted a crazy story, sold it to the masses & retired a millionaire.

Another similar case is Aileen Wuornos. The attorneys, judges, police, the entire justice system, her friends (except for Dawn Botkins) were selling her story to the media & Hollywood before she even went to trial. Everyone betrayed her. Vile, reprehensible...

Aileen had a really shitty life her dad killed himself in prison while locked up for kidnapping and sodomizing a kid, beat by her grandpa, had sexual relationship with her brother, pregnant at 13, raped

True that. But the similarity of the two cases is in how the justice system treated these traumatized, damaged people and sold them like pieces of meat to the highest bidders, cashing in on their infamy, instead of trying to get to the truth of the matter.

Than years later they still use them and milk everything they can out of them by saying we can use psychology to understand evil

Like you said, Aileen had been beaten & raped repeatedly since she was a little girl, thrown out of the house to live in the woods, homeless (a young teen). I mean, where was Childrens Protective Services? Where was anybody? She ended up hitchhiking south.

They all failed her, they all are the guilty ones

When I first started studying Aileen's case, it would bring me to tears, sometimes.
Have you seen the interview with her mother? I think it's in one of those Broomfield documentaries. Cold as a snake. She could have cared less about Aileen. Scary shit, man.
