A Manson family killer Leslie Van Houten was released from prison in California on Tuesday.
Van Houten “was released to parole supervision,” the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement.
“Van Houten will have a three-year maximum parole term with a parole discharge review occurring after one year,” a spokesperson said.
She was handed a life sentence for her involvement in helping followers of Manson kill the LaBiancas. She would later describe holding Rosemary LaBianca down with a pillowcase on her head while other people stabbed her before stabbing the woman over a dozen times, too.
Van Houten received parole earlier this month. That was after Governor Gavin Newsom refused to challenge a court ruling ordering her release.
