The story about the hearing is on AOL tonight. She's not getting released...of course, her brother said that they were both "abused" as children. Never heard this on until this parole hearing. A new revelation?

Jenifer - can you provide a little more context for those who don't have a clue what you're talking about - like me?
Susan Atkins. Sharon Tate's killer. Has brain cancer. Only a few months to live. Asked for mercy. Was denied.

For what it's worth, I could care less if she was abused. So was I, and I haven't tortured and killed anyone - especially a pregnant woman.
Exactly...that's how I feel.
I was terrified that this was about Eileen Atkins.
i didn't even know chet was in custody.

Add me to the chorus of 'good, let her rot.'

Was anyone else here unaware that she had her left leg amputated? I guess her life has been made as grim as she made it for those whose lives she affected.
No, not as grim.
She, was not killed in cold blood while pregnant.
There is no comparison between the pain she has caused others, and that which she currently LIVES with.
Great posts, everyone!!! I agree with all of you....
Diane Sayer interview with Susan Atkins from 2002.
My Jaw dropped when Susan said she is "trying hard to forgive all the people in her life before she dies." Think about that. This was from 2002 before she was diagnosed with cancer. I mean, as far back as 2002 she was STILL looking onto others for HER to forgive. I guess she's herself as the victim in all this. Disgusting!
