Charles+Manson+LKW

I don't think Charles Manson was a serial killer. Part of that was because he never actually physically killed anyone, but he just got the "family" to do it for him. Also, he didn't really have any kind of connection between the victims, it just seemed like he picked people because he wanted to kill as many big names to get the most media attention possible.

He's really not at all like the Green River Killer, who I did my project on. Part of why Manson doesn't fit the profile for a serial killer is because he didn't work alone, but influenced others to work with him without forcing them. Also, it's hard to tell whether Manson was doing it for psychological satisfaction or just to make a statement.
