Leslie Van Houten, who served more than 50 years in prison on murder and conspiracy convictions in the Charles Manson “family” 1969 killings of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca that shocked Hollywood and the nation, was released from a California prison today, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The CDCR said in a statement that the 73-year-old Van Houten was released “to parole supervision.” Van Houten reportedly was taken to a transitional housing facility. “Van Houten will have a three-year maximum parole term with a parole discharge review occurring after one year,” according to CDCR. “For safety and security reasons, CDCR does not provide information on a person’s time or location of parole release.” The release comes four days after Gov.
Gavin Newsom’s office said it would no longer challenge the parole. A state appeals court in May rejected Newsom’s most recent of three parole rejections.
Van Houten, along with fellow Manson followers Charles “Tex” Watson and Patricia Krenwinkel were convicted in 1971 for the gruesome, Manson-ordered August 10, 1969, stabbing deaths of 44-year-old grocer Leno and wife Rosemary, 38, in their Los Feliz home.
