Charles Milles Manson (November 12, 1934 – November 19, 2017) was an American criminal and cult leader who orchestrated a series of murders carried out by members of his so-called “Manson Family” in California in 1969. Though Manson did not personally commit the killings, he directed his followers to murder prominent individuals as part of his apocalyptic vision, which he called “Helter Skelter,” inspired by his interpretation of a Beatles song.

The most infamous of these crimes was the Tate–LaBianca murders, which claimed the lives of actress Sharon Tate and six others. Manson and several followers were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in 1971. Sentenced to death, his sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment after the California Supreme Court invalidated the death penalty in 1972. Manson remained incarcerated until his death in 2017. His case remains emblematic of the dark side of the 1960s counterculture and the dangers of cult manipulation.
