One of Charles Manson’s first followers just lost another bid for freedom

Robert Beausoleil, a notorious follower of Charles Manson and convicted murderer, has been denied parole for the 19th time, ensuring he remains incarcerated for the brutal 1969 killing of musician Gary Hinman.

The 78-year-old was found guilty of murdering Hinman on July 26, 1969, a crime prosecutors say involved three days of torture at his Topanga Canyon home before Beausoleil fatally stabbed him. Testimony from previous hearings revealed Charles Manson himself slashed Hinman's face with a sword during the ordeal.
