Charles+Manson+Questions+BB

1. is Charles Manson a serial killer?

Charles Manson is not a serial killer because he never got his hands dirty. He never actually killed anyone. This is not to say that he is not guilty, because he planned out and caused the murders of multiple people. He is definitely guilty of a crime, but not a serial killer.

2. are family house members serial killers?

The family members are just killers, not serial killers. They do not receive satisfaction out of their killings, and were told what to do rather than planning the killing themselves. Tex was the only one that knew about the murders before hand, but even he does not receive satisfaction out of it. Also, there was no trademark characteristic associated with the murders. The members are simply murderers, not serial killers.

3. do they all deserve the death penalty?

All of the members and Manson deserve the death penalty. They killed multiple people viciously and without reason. Manson is indirectly responsible, and so at least deserves life in prison, especially given his mental state and previous record. Every member that killed someone or took part in it should receive the death penalty.
