A depressing and pathetic battle is going on in a Los Angeles courtroom to win control of the paltry belongings of the notorious murderer and cult leader Charles Manson.
All that is at stake in the dispute over his will are the clothes he owned and maybe two or three guitars — the stuff he had at Corcoran State Prison when he died in 2017. Some personal writings. Maybe the rights to a couple of songs he wrote that were commercially recorded.
Not much. But enough to generate five years — so far — of legal battling. It starts up again in a hearing Friday in L.A. County Superior Court.
