Pkghe had the power to scare the hell outta yaformer prison administrator Edward George got to know Charles Mansen on a personal level during his years at san quentin. He liked the reputation of being the most evil guy in the world, the most dangerous. George took the time to get to know the man behind the evil. We kinda created a bond where i kept trying to figure out why he did what he did. He says even while in prison mansen was manipulative. Things that were borderline to approve, id say let him have it so he could tell me more about the family and people that were in the family. In 1971, mansen was convicted of 9 murders, and sentenced to death along with 4 of his followers which was downgraded to life when california banned the death penalty. While getting to know mansen, the former counselor says he spoke to at least 5 psychiatrists that told him mansen was by no means crazy hes just an evil guy. A sociopath. That was the diagnosis.

We kinda created a bond where i kept trying to figure out why he did what he did. He says even while in prison mansen was manipulative. Things that were borderline to approve, id say let him have it so he could tell me more about the family and people that were in the family. In 1971, mansen was convicted of 9 murders, and sentenced to death along with 4 of his followers which was downgraded to life when california banned the death penalty. While getting to know mansen, the former counselor says he spoke to at least 5 psychiatrists that told him mansen was by no means crazyhes just an evil guy. A sociopath. That was the diagnosis.

But not all the officers in the prison unit did. They didnt want to stay in the unit. He threatened them and said he had people out there that would kill them and their families, and they transferred. Over the years, mansen wrote edwards hundreds of letters to stay in touch. The two men had a bond, where they even took photos together. Edwards wrote a book on mansen after retiring. I could never fathom how he could do that. Except he had that charisma.

Collectively, various fundraisers, like the kron four telethon with the salvation army, for example, have brought in 50 Million Dollars to help fire victims.

Thats part one of the timeline relief. The north Bay Fire Relief Fund, for example, raised 22 Million Dollars, and plans to spend aall of that money by may 31st.
