Charles Manson

Cult Leader

Charles Manson was an American criminal and cult leader who formed what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune in California in the late 1960s. His followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969. Although he never directly committed any of the murders, he was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for instructing the members to carry them out. He spent the rest of his life in prison and became an enduring symbol of evil, insanity, and the dark side of 1960s counterculture.
