Neil Sanders | Our Data-Driven World, Sex Crimes, & The Manson Murders Cover-Up
Legal Irregularities, Susan Atkins and High-Priced Mafia Lawyers
The legal proceedings against the Manson family are criticized for numerous irregularities, including the involvement of high-priced lawyers with mafia ties who represented the "penniless" defendants. Susan Atkins' confession was serialized in the Los Angeles Times before the trial, which Sanders argues should have resulted in a mistrial. The presence of elite Beverly Hills attorneys suggests external interests were managing the trial's outcome.
