Good morning Seri what's Mrs. Smitty with today's true crime headline this morning Leslie Van Houten walked out of prison after spending more than 50 years behind bars for the brutal killings of Leno and Rosemary la Bianka as part of the Manson family crime spree in the 1960s at the time of the murder she was 19 years old and she was sentenced to death for her part in the killings in the 1970s when the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional her death sentence was committed to a life in prison with the possibility of parole And she has been recommended for parole now five times in this fifth time the governor of California decided not to contest her release and so this morning she walked out of jail she'll be on parole for three years and then allowed to reenter society so for today in this clip I would love to hear your opinions on the death penalty on releasing convicted murderers is there a length of sentence that is long enough can you prove yourself worthy of release after committing such a heinous crime And then please join Scotty and I later today for an in-depth discussion of this case of Leslie Van Houten time behind bars and of the ethics of the death penalty thanks

I do not support the death penalty because we have the ability to be wrong and at least with wrongful conviction we can release a prisoner; however we can not bring back the dead. I believe those who murder in cold blood like this women do no deserve pardons or even consideration.

I think she paid her dad to society I know people probably want to see our pay more of a one more do you want now I think we say it is just a sesame Esposo rehabilitation so and so is not wrong and giving his purse in a second chance I like thanks man

Hey Miss Maria I hope you're doing great today I definitely like true crime so I'll deathly be passing by again I'm in shock and hearing what happened They are totally in shock and how people act and it's crazy man so crazy yeah very crazy

Good afternoon Smitty. Are you gonna do a show about this? I need you to do a show about this. I mean I'm glad that you're doing a post but I want you to show about this. Um death penalty oh wow so it's hard because like she was 19. Killing is killing right? A lot has changed in 50 years with a person who did not have a fully developed brain. I'm not sure how much I believe in death penalty. Hold on I'm gonna spin the block on my own time.

Thank you for this information I didn't know that this took place we're not crying but that she was released and I'm glad she was really know her state of mind doing the crime was infantile a state of metabolism She's grown since then she's thought about everything she's dead and believe me she's changed

And yes, talking about this later today! Hope to see you!

Yea.... This is kinda .... I dunno
