Charles Manson was the leader of the 1960's hippie cult 'Manson Family Cult' which killed 11 people in total. Though Manson only committed one murder himself, he was imprisoned for all as he was the one to blame as he manipulated other people to do it for him. He was not the only person sentenced to prison as the police put every known member into a facility. He took philosophies from other cults and changed them to suit him. He was a very private person though came forward as the leader of the Cult when the murder charges were founded. He took advantage of the girls as they were so afraid of him, they would do anything to make him happy out of fear and he was very power hungry
