Check out the letters he has currently been writng me at http://www.Write-A-Murderer.com and you decide... Yeah he may ramble at times but he has a quick mind and doesn't seem crazy at all. He seems like he knows exactly what he is saying. Not to mention the fact he never actually killed anyone. He still maintains that he never ordered the killings. That he only found out about the Tate murder after the fact but he does admit to helping cover them up and not rating his friends out. Even the DA said he had no real evidence linking Manson to the crime that's why he fought so hard to try all the family together otherwise Manson would have gotten off... Whats your thoughts on this. Check out the letters he's written me and get his side of the story at http://www.Write-A-Murderer.com.

As far as I know, he's a psychopath with various psychological issues, but he was never considered psychotic ("crazy"). Psychopaths are well oriented to reality and maintain to their faculties of reason even if their interpersonal capacities and desires are depraved.

Manson is another one of those "bad seeds," from the start he was destined to be evil. Like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz. He seems very smart, and that's how he can trick people. And brainwash them. I think you're doing a dangerous thing by writing to him. He's all head games. So no, I don't think he's crazy.

No. Charles Manson is as normal as normal can get. It's the rest of us who are crazy.

They say there is a thin line between crazy and genius. They say he was very intelligent and knew how to use mind control.

Uuuuh y'know its relatively well known that you can be intelligent, articulate and yet still criminally insame!
Why don't you go find the families of his murder victims and ask them?

His amazing intelligence drove him a little nuts I think. Takes a bloody genius to get people to do what ever you want them to.

IF YOU WERE LIVING AT THE TIME YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO WRITE TO HIM NOW. WRITE TO ANY ONE IN PRISON AND THEY WE TELL YOU THEY ARE INNOCENT. NO ONE IS GUILTY. I STILL REMEMBER THE NEWS OF THE TIME........ IF YOU COULD TALK TO SADAM, HE WILL TELL YOU HE IS INNOCENT, AND THAT THEY DID IT NOT HIM.
