Governor Gavin Newson has reversed parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten.
That’s the fourth time a governor has blocked her release.
A California panel recommended parole in July for Van Houten. She has spent nearly five decades in prison. Newsom reversed her release once previously and Jerry Brown blocked it twice.
Van Houten’s attorney said they will appeal Newsom’s decision.
Leslie was 19 when she took part in Manson family murders. She’s now 71.
