Charles Manson Skips Parole Hearing

CORCORAN, Calif. (AP) -- Aging mass murderer Charles Manson did not show up for his 12th -- and likely his last -- parole hearing in California.
The 77-year-old had said he did not plan to attend the hearing Wednesday, even though it could be his last opportunity to ask for freedom.
Under current law, inmates can be denied the chance to reapply for parole for up to 15 years, so Manson could be 92 before he's eligible for another hearing.
Tate's sister, Debra, told The Associated Press she planned to attend the hearing.
Attorney DeJon Ramone Lewis, who was appointed to represent Manson, said his client has refused to meet with him.
Manson's notoriety stems from one of the most gruesome mass murders in American history, the 1969 slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six others.
