Justice is something that all of us as human beings want to see achieved, especially when we are the ones who need it for ourselves or our loved ones. The families of those killed by Susan Atkins and her partner will agree. The harm caused to their loved ones and the endless pain and suffering resulting from their deaths will support the decision made by the parole board on September 2, 2009 to deny compassionate release due to Atkins' health. In 1969 the first crime scenario took place with the murder of a man called Gary Hinman. According to Wikipedia "Atkins claimed she didn't know a crime would occur, although she wrote in her 1977 book that she went to Hinman's house to get money and knew it was possible they would kill him." This fact proves his dishonesty in accepting to be part of the crime, which he later contradicts by writing the fact as a possible crime in his book. This statement simply reveals his full participation and consent in the murder of this man in pursuit of money. Following this, in the same year following the Hinman murder in which Atkins participated, the murder of Sharon Tate who was pregnant, Steven Parent, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger took their place. According to forensic evidence the crime was described as brutal (Wikipedia). During Atkins' statement he confesses to being Tate's killer during his statement. “She stated that she stabbed Tate because she was 'sick of listening to her, begging and begging, begging and begging'” (Wikipedia). Along the way the audience saw the lack of remorse for the crime committed by her and the Mason family. During one of his statements he confesses to... middle of paper... that I am not in favor of compassionate release." (Wikipedia) Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas also opposed Atkins' release, stating that " It would be a grave miscarriage of justice to burden the citizens of Orange County by granting her parole to Orange County, where she will enjoy the comforts of her husband, home, and the mercy she has not shown Sharon Tate [or] her unborn child. " (Wikipedia) On September 2, 2009 the parole board once again denied Atkins parole for the 18th time. The fact or his life shows no remorse or mercy for his crime, which helps the parole board to conclude with the decision not to allow Atkins' release would have been an insult to the family of their victims, whose only consolation for justice was that this woman had died in prison paying for it. his crime.
