Charles+Manson+Questions+JM

1. is Charles Manson a serial killer?

2. are family house members serial killers?

3. do they all deserve the death penalty?

1. Charles Manson technically is not a serial killer because he personally did not kill anyone. He was in control of the people who did commit the murders and planned out ever aspect of the murder but he did not actually kill the people. He told the family members how to kill the victims and what to leave when they left. He thought of everything a serial killer would think of except doing the actual killings. He is responsible for all of the murders.

2. It looks like the family members are serial killers because they are the people who actually committed the murders, but thats all they did. The family members did kill the people, but they did not plan out the murders. They were only doing what Manson told them to do. I don't think the family members are serial killers because they didn't plan out the murders and they were only doing what they were told. But by definition of a serial killer they are serial killers.

3. I would not be against them all having the death penalty, because they killed many people and Manson was the one behind all of the killings
