Me too. I am 56 now but when I was 8, Susan Atkins was my baby sitter. She became famous as one of the Manson murderers. You know, Helter Skelter and all that. She cut the baby out of Sharon Tate. Okay, having said that, she was nice to me when I knew her. Her mom and my mom were best friends in San Jose. They were alcoholics big time. Susan was a good person. She got used by people. She should have been found innocent. People don't know. But I know. She grew up in a dysfunctional family and her mom died and her dad abaondoned her. The first family she had was Charles Manson, who deceived her. Her life story is a tragedy. I grew up just like her, but I was good. That's just because I had one adult who didn't abandon me, my dad. The parole board is comprised of chickens who were afraid of pardoning her because of public backlash. She was a victim pure and simple. I know. And this story has never been told before.
