Leslie Van Houten, a former member of the Manson Family, has been released from prison after serving over 50 years for her involvement in the 1969 murders of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca. Van Houten, now 73 years old, was released on parole and taken to a transitional housing facility. Governor Gavin Newsom's office announced that they would no longer challenge her parole. Van Houten's release comes after multiple parole rejections and a recent court ruling overturning the governor's denial of parole. Charles Manson, the cult leader responsible for the murders, died in prison in 2017.
