Your question is to determine whether or not charles manson is a serial killer. By definition Charles is not a killer, for in these cases he, himself, killed no one. He however was the influence of the killers for all of the murders. Though there were multiple kills with similar characteristics and no remorse and, to top it off, he had no childhood, Charles cannot be considered a killer. I do believe that him being in jail is the right thing, so he cannot influence more to kill, he is actually innocent of murder.

How is he like the serial killers that you chose for your projects? He isn't much like Albert fish, after all he didn't eat his victims, or for that matter kill them.

How is he different?
