US EditionManson 'family' follower Patricia Krenwinkel recommended for parole
- A California prisons panel recommended releasing Patricia Krenwinkel on parole on a recent Friday in Los Angeles.
- Krenwinkel, a 77-year-old serving a life sentence for seven 1969 Los Angeles murders by Charles Manson's followers, had previously faced reversed parole recommendations.
- She was convicted for a two-night killing spree including the murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others at their Benedict Canyon home.
- The parole board found Krenwinkel posed little reoffending risk due to her age and behavior, but the full board and governor have up to 150 days to decide.
- If approved, Krenwinkel would remain the longest-serving female inmate in California, though family members oppose her release and the governor could reject it again.
