Susan Atkins of the Manson Family is asking to be released from prison since she has terminal brain cancer. Do you think she should be released?


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley has asked the California parole board to deny Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins' request for compassionate release from prison.
Atkins, who was convicted of eight 1969 murders, is terminally ill.
Cooley says Atkins' crimes alone warrant denial of the request.
The district attorney notes that Atkins personally stabbed pregnant actress Sharon Tate, tasted her blood and used it to write the word "Pig" on the victim's door.
The parole board meets Tuesday.
