My Take

I cannot treat Patricia Krenwinkel as a celebrity. As a member of the Manson Family, she took part in the 1969 murders that killed a pregnant Sharon Tate and four others, and no amount of time softens that. What unsettles me is how an ordinary girl from Los Angeles, a University High School graduate, was swallowed by that cult's machinery; few cases illustrate human susceptibility to manipulation more starkly. I have no interest in glamorizing her. I keep this record only so the victims are not forgotten and as a warning against the conditions that let such horror happen again.
