Charles Manson Hospitalized

(Bakersfield, CA) — Mass murderer Charles Manson is in a California hospital in grave condition. TMZ reports the cult leader was brought to a Bakersfield hospital three days ago. A source told TMZ that Manson is close to death, saying “it’s only a matter of time.” The 83-year-old Manson is serving a life sentence for ordering the brutal killings of seven people, including actress Sharon Tate, in 1969. He was originally sentenced to death with several of his followers, but the sentences were commuted to life when the death penalty was briefly outlawed in California in 1972.
