  Title: Richard Farley
  Passage: Richard Wade Farley (born July 25, 1948) is an American convicted mass murderer.  A former employee of ESL Incorporated in Sunnyvale, California, he stalked co-worker Laura Black for four years beginning in 1984.  Black obtained a temporary restraining order against him on February 2, 1988, with a court date set for February 17, 1988 to make the order permanent.
  Title: Charles Manson
  Passage: Charles Milles Manson (born Charles Milles Maddox, November 12, 1934) is an American convicted mass murderer and former cult leader who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in California in the late 1960s.  Manson's followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969.  In 1971 he was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of seven people – most notably of the actress Sharon Tate – all of which were carried out by members of the group at his instruction.  Manson also received first-degree murder convictions for two other deaths.  Manson was originally sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment when California invalidated the state's death penalty statute in 1972.  He is currently serving multiple life sentences at California State Prison in Corcoran.
  Title: Leslie Van Houten
  Passage: Leslie Louise Van Houten (born August 23, 1949) is an American murderer serving a life sentence in relation to the 1969 killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, when Van Houten was 19 years old.  She was arrested weeks later, and convicted at the main Charles Manson trial in 1971, at which she repeatedly sabotaged her own defense, and tried to exculpate Manson.  She was convicted and became the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in California.  However, executions were halted in the state in 1972 after the California Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional in "The People of the State of California v. Robert Page Anderson", 493 P.2d 880, 6 Cal.  3d 628 (Cal.  1972).  She was granted a new trial at which her defense to the charge of first degree murder was diminished responsibility, but the jury could not agree on a verdict.  At a third trial, she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, although with a possibility of parole.  In relation to her case, high courts, parole boards, and the state governor have said that an inexplicable or racial motive for murder could merit exemplary punishment and outweigh any evidence of subsequent reform.
  Title: Zane Floyd
  Passage: Zane Michael Floyd (born September 20, 1975) is a convicted mass murderer who is most notorious for killing four people and injuring another in a Las Vegas, Nevada supermarket on June 3, 1999.  After pleading guilty to the murders, Floyd was sentenced to death by a Clark County jury.
  Title: Luis Monge
  Passage: Luis José Monge (August 21, 1918 – June 2, 1967) was a convicted mass murderer who was executed in the gas chamber at Colorado State Penitentiary in 1967.  Monge was the last inmate to be executed before an unofficial moratorium on executions began in the United States in 1972.
  Title: Susan Atkins
  Passage: Susan Denise Atkins (May 7, 1948 September 24, 2009) was a convicted American murderer who was a member of Charles Manson's "Family".  Manson and his followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in California, over a period of five weeks in the summer of 1969.  Known within the Manson family as Sadie Mae Glutz or Sexy Sadie, Atkins was convicted for her participation in eight of these killings, including the most notorious, the "Tate/LaBianca" murders.  She was sentenced to death, which was subsequently commuted to life in prison.  Atkins was incarcerated from October 1, 1969, until her death – a period exactly one week short of 40 years.  At the time of her death, Atkins was California's longest-serving female inmate.
  Title: ATWA
  Passage: ATWA (an acronym for Air, Trees, Water, Animals and All The Way Alive) stands for the uncompromising ecological mandate propounded by Charles Manson.  ATWA names the interrelated life support systems of the Earth.  Charles Manson and his associates, most notably Lynette Fromme and Sandra Good, use the term to name the forces of life which hold the balance of the Earth.
  Title: Thomas Trantino
  Passage: Thomas Trantino (born February 11, 1938) is an American convicted murderer who was sentenced to life in prison for the execution style shooting deaths in 1963 of two police officers in Lodi, New Jersey.  He was sentenced to death by electrocution, which was commuted to life in prison after the death penalty was abolished in the 1970s.  This began a long battle for parole, which continued until his release from prison in 2002.
  Title: Gerald Ford assassination attempt in Sacramento
  Passage: On September 5, 1975, Charles Manson Family cult member Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme attempted to kill United States President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California.  She wanted to make a statement to people who refused to halt environmental pollution and its effects on Air, Trees, Water, and Animals (ATWA).  Although Fromme stood a little more than an arm's length from Ford that Friday morning and pointed a M1911 pistol at him in the public grounds of the California State Capitol building, her gun failed to fire and no one was injured.  After the assassination attempt, Ford continued to walk to the California state house, where he met with California governor Jerry Brown.  For her crime, Fromme spent 34 years in prison and was released on August 14, 2009 – two years and seven months after Ford's death.  The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, later received the M1911 pistol used in the assassination attempt as a gift, and the gun was put on display.
