Manson was also hospitalized in January for a serious medical problem.
In the 1960s, the then-reportedly charismatic ex-convict assembled a group of runaways and outcasts known as the “Manson Family.” In the summer of 1969, he directed his mostly young, female followers to murder pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others, in what prosecutors said was part of a plan to incite a race war.
