Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten walked out of a California prison Tuesday after serving 53 years of a life sentence
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said Van Houten “was released to parole supervision.”Her release comes days after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he would not fight a state appeals court ruling that Van Houten should be granted parole.
