Charles Manson, one of America's most notorious mass murderers, was denied parole on April 24 for the 10th time at a hearing before a prison board at Corcoran State Prison in California where he has been jailed for masterminding a bloody 1969 rampage, prison officials said. His next chance for parole is in the year 2007, said Lt. Johnny Castro, a spokesman at the Corcoran State Prison where Manson is being held about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. Castro said Manson, 67, who is currently being held in solitary confinement to keep him away from the general prison population, was refused parole because he has had 17 'serious' infractions on his record since his last parole hearing five years ago, including 'possession of a (blunt object) weapon and threatening to hurt or kill peace officers.' Manson was also charged, in 1997, of arson for trying to set his mattress on fire, Castro said. Prior to the hearing, which Manson refused to attend, Los Angeles Assistant District Attorney Stephen Kay said Manson has been a 'terrible prisoner' in recent years, and that his record shows multiple incidents in which he hit, spit at, or threw coffee on prison officers and other employees. The head of the so-called 'Manson family' was convicted of ordering his followers to carry out the murders during a two-day rampage in the Los Angeles area. Manson hoped the slayings would ignite a race war. On Wednesday, Castro said, Manson steadfastly refused officers' persistent requests for him to attend his hearing saying he did not want to wear the required handcuffs. |
