Leslie Van Houten, the one-time follower of convicted serial killer Charles Manson was denied parole Tuesday for a 19th time, according to MSNBC.com.
The chairman of the parole board said Van Houten had failed to gain complete insight into her crime and its motivation and therefore was not suitable for parole.
However, he said the concerns for public safety are not sufficient to give her a 10- or 15-year denial. He scheduled another hearing in three years.
While commending her for her adjustment to prison and her work on behalf of other prisoners, Doyle and deputy commissioner Carol Bentley said the crimes involved were so atrocious and heinous that they must be considered in the decision.
