On October 14, 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected the parole application of Patricia Krenwinkel, a cultist of the "Manson family". Karen Wincole is the longest-serving female prisoner in the United States. Fifty years ago, she used the blood of her victims to smear the words "Helter Skelter" (originally called the Beatles song of the same name, which was later misinterpreted by Manson as a racial antagonistic struggle between whites and blacks).
Karen Wincole was convicted in 1969 of killing pregnant actress Sharon Tate (wife of famous director Polanski) and four others. She also participated in the murder of grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary. The murder was caused by the cult leader Manson's attempt to provoke a race war.

Governor Newsom said Caren Winkall, 74, remains a "significant public safety risk" and cannot be released on parole. "Karen Wincole fully embraced Manson's racism and doomsday theory, and she was not only a victim of Manson's atrocities, but also a powerful promoter of the Manson family's violence and the tragedy it caused," he said. ”
In May, a two-member parole panel recommended the release of Karen Winkor, after she had been denied parole 14 times. After Susan Atkins, another member of the Manson family, died in prison of cancer in 2009, Karen Wincole has since become the longest-serving female prisoner in the United States.
Governor Newsom said that in the late '60s, Clenwincole and other followers of the "Manson family" horrified the entire state of California, committing crimes that were "one of the most horrific crimes in California history." The governor acknowledged that Krenwinkol had performed well in prison, completed many rehabilitation and education courses, and "showed strong remorse". However, he stressed that Krenwinkor is still not fully aware of the deeper reasons for his crime.

Newsom said: "In addition to killing, she also served as a leader in a cult and was the implementer of Manson's dictatorship. She forced other women in the cult to submit to Manson and prevented them from fleeing when they were distracted. ”
Anthony DiMaria, nephew of Jay Sebring, one of Crenwinkol's victims, urged Governor Newsom not to release her, saying that "the crimes committed by Krenwincole are extremely rare, unusually serious and heinous." He said Karenwinkol's actions fomented "an entire racist war that left eternal historical scars" and triggered at least two subsequent ritual killings of racial hatred.
Karen Winkor argued that he felt lonely and confused at the age of 19, lived with his sister, met 33-year-old Manson at a party, and that she had no family care since she was a child, and was confused by Manson's use of alcohol to join a cult.
Debra Tate is Sharon Tate's sister and the only survivor of her immediate family. Neither she nor the other victims accepted Clenwinkol's explanation, Deborah told the parole hearing: "Almost every family has all kinds of problems, but no one went out and brutally killed 7 strangers!" ”
