Last Gasp 1971
On March 29, 1971 in Los Angeles, Charles Manson and three members of the “Manson Family” were sentenced to death for the 1969 murders of Sharon Tate and four others in Benedict Canyon. That same day in Georgia, William Calley was convicted for the 1969 murders of 22 women and children in Vietnam. Two days later, Calley was sentenced to life in Leavenworth prison, but President Nixon ordered him released from prison and placed under house arrest at his former quarters in Fort Benning, Georgia.
