Susan Atkins, a Manson Family disciple, is seeking parole after 33 years behind bars. OC Weekly's R. Scott Moxley reviews her parole hearing file and finds testimonies to Atkin's prison redemption. A devout Christian, a married woman who needs a hearing aid, a mentor to other prisoners, a favorite of her jailers, an accomplished artist. Quite a trip from the woman who once testified that she'd stabbed pregnant actress Sharon Tate because the sound of Tate's voice pleading for her life was irritating.
