Description: The Long Prison Journey of Leslie Van Houten: Life Beyond the Cult by Karlene Faith (Rare 2001 Hardcover Edition)At the age of 21, Leslie van Houten was sentenced to death, along with Charles Manson and his other disciples, for the infamous murder rampage spanning two nights in August 1969. Leslie, who had been present at the Rosemary and Leno LaBianca stabbings, serenely accepted her sentence, wishing only that she had better served Manson in carrying out his apocalyptic vision of "Helter Skelter". When the United States temporarily suspended its death penalty, her sentence for murder conspiracy was converted to life in prison. After three trials and with no parole in sight, Leslie had become a remarkable survivor of a living nightmare.This work presents the first in-depth look at how this "girl next door" became one of Manson's "girls".Rare, Out-of-Print / Vintage Hardcover / Northeastern University Press / 2001 / First Edition / Good Condition (contains previous owner's name hand-written on first page, no other writing or markings)
