Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten walked out of a California prison on Tuesday after serving more than 50 years of a life sentence for her participation in two infamous murders.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said that Van Houten “was released to parole supervision”.
Her lawyer, Nancy Tetreault, said that she left the California Institution for Women in Corona, east of Los Angeles, in the early morning hours and was driven to transitional housing.
