Well, I read the first page of your link, didn't go read the whole testimony. Still, wonder why her mother wasn't with her? I don't have the time or energy to read the whole thing.

All I was saying was the way Sharon Tate was murdered and all that came out of that must've had some effect, most of it negative I am sure, on him and that might explain some of his behaviour. I did not say it would excuse it, in any way.

Also, we have a tradition that says a person is free once they've gone through certain legal steps. I don't know if he served any time, but it seems to me, IF he was put through the due process of law AND paid for his crime in whatever way the courts decided, then we have to accept that. It was a long time ago, and as I said, presumably he has not done anything criminal since then.

It's not a perfect system, but I cannot see that any of the dire things you or amergin suggest should be done to him.
