There’s no doubt from the trial evidence that Manson preached Helter Skelter to his cult, and they took it hook, line and sinker. Helter Skelter was a term Charles Manson adopted from the Beatles White Album that Manson claimed described the race war and its fallout. Bugliosi’s case rested on the motive theory that Manson organized the Tate and LaBianca murders to frame the Black Panther movement and start his imaginary race Armageddon.īugliosi claimed Manson’s convoluted motive was personal gain and control after Helter Skelteroccurred. Manson’s motive, Bugliosi offered, was Charles Manson proclaimed he was the reincarnation of a Jesus-like messiah who’d rule the world following an inevitable race war between blacks and whites. Bugliosi argued Manson exercised totalitarian mind control over his cult members and convinced them to commit murder on his behalf.
Throughout the Manson Family murder trial, district attorney and prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi pleaded a case that Charles Manson masterminded the Tate and LaBianca murders, although Manson wasn’t hands-on during the killings.
Charles Manson was also directly responsible for three or more individual murders associated with Manson’s criminal enterprise. Business people Rosemary and Leno LaBianca fell as well to Manson-ordered, cult-wielding knives. The high-profile Manson family mass-murders claimed actress Sharon Tate and her celebrity friends who were shot, strangled and stabbed to death. At least ten innocent victims lost their lives. During the summer of 1969, Charles Manson’s cult of social misfits and rebellious rejects went on a homicidal rampage in the greater Los Angeles area. But Manson’s true motive always remained shrouded in secrecy-until now. However, Charles Manson’s real motive for his cult murders wasn’t Helter Skelter.
Charles Manson is finally dead, but his memory lives on in villainous infamy. The picture of wild-eyed Manson with a swastika carved in his forehead, and the sight of his head-shaven girls occupying the courthouse steps, seared themselves into American criminal history. When you read the words “cult” and “murders” in the same line, you’ll evoke evil images of Charles Manson motivating his murderous hippie cult to commit Helter Skelter-an apocalyptic race war between blacks and whites.
