Leslie Van Houten was released on parole after 53 years in prison for committing murders as part of the Mason family cult.
Van Houten was recommended for parole multiple times but was denied by the California governor. She is now set to be on parole for a maximum of three years, but after one year she will be reviewed for parole dischargement.
Van Housten first met Charles Manson when she was 19 years old and became a follower of his cult, the “Manson family.”
She was serving seven years to life after murdering Leno Labianca, a supermarket exec, and Rosemary, his wife, in their home in Los Angeles.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has stated he will not challenge the court’s parole decision but disproves it.

As the news media put it so dismissively in headlines after the Manson Family murders, actress Sharon Tate was murdered along with “four others.” Those “others” were in fact Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Parent and Jay Sebring. The latter is the subject of the documentary Jay Sebring….Cutting to the Truth, directed by Anthony Dimaria. The filmmaker is Sebring’s nephew, adding a deeply personal and heartfelt patina to a film that seeks to expand the portrait of his uncle beyond being a tragic victim in one of the most sensationalized crimes of the 20th century.

There was much curiosity on the part of audiences last summer when it came to every real-life person, event, and location portrayed in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. While much of the discussion was focused on Sharon Tate, as played by Margot Robbie, this fall, a new documentary on another Manson Family victim, Jay Sebring, will arrive.
Jay Sebring….Cutting To The Truth, directed by Sebring’s nephew, Anthony Dimaria, takes a look at the celebrity hairstylist’s life beyond the headlines of being a life cut short and his great influence on a generation of Hollywood stars, from Marlon Brando to Bruce Lee.
Ahead of a September release, the first trailer has arrived, featuring interviews with Quincy Jones, Robert Wagner, Dennis Hopper, Dominick Dunne, and even Quentin Tarantino, who cast Emile Hirsch to play Sebring in his latest film.
See the trailer below with a hat tip to MovieBox.
