Manson cult killer seeks parole after 40 years

A follower of cult leader Charles Manson is facing a parole hearing after serving 40 years in a California jail for her part in the Sharon Tate killings.

Grey-haired Patricia Krenwinkel, one of Manson’s two surviving female followers, has maintained a clean prison record but her chances for release appear slim following the parole officials’ rejections in other Manson cases.
