Leon the california board of parole recommended that Leslie Van Houten be released on parole. She was once a homicidal teen member of the serial killer cult was recommended for parole after 46 years in prison. They call her an exemplary prisoner where she has helped the other inmates. She earned a masters degree. She is behind bars for the participation in the 1969 murders of the la biancaa. She spoke to diane sawyer in 1994 describing the night she and other manson followers killed the couple in their california home. Tex turned me around and handed me the knife and he i stabbed mrs. La bianca in the lower back about 16 times. What kind of punishment do you deserve . What is enough . I dont know when enough punishment will be enough for me. The sentiment is shared by many including the l. A. District attorney and the couples daughter telling abc7 news we do not think anybody who commits the kind of crimes she and the others did should ever be paroled. Van houten has been denied parole 19 times before. Jerry brown could reject this attempt. Everything on the list of reasons to parole someone Leslie Van Houten can check off. As a political matter, how could it help the governor to release a manson follower . The decision next goes to legal review board. If its upheld it will go to the governor who has final say. Lauren lister, abc news, los angeles. Alison we want to take a moment and reflect on life then in 1971. The year that Leslie Van Houten was first, the colts won super bowl x, baltimore colts. The starbucks opened the first store in seattles pike place market. They created the first Communication System we know today as email. Rocker jim morrison died in paris.

Ill take on the republicans for all of us. Announcer youre watching abc7 news at 5 00. Alison Muriel Bowser pushing for statehood. She announced she will soon submit legislation to get statehood on ballot. On the eve of emancipation day. We got reaction from the Voting Rights activists from the city hall to the capitol building. It comen traits when president lincoln ended slavery in washington. In recent years its a day focused on Voting Rights. We need to finish the unfinished job that lincoln began when he treed the slaves and freed the slaves to give them democracy. After a superior Court Victory on the d. C. Budget autonomy. Mayor bowser wants to put a statehood referendum on the ballot. Polls show strong support. Even with the d. C. Voter approval it is unclear how the Republican Controlled Congress can respond. I think this is a problem that we need to approach on every level. So anything we can do that is creative is worth trying. Today d. C. Vote march merged on capitol hill with the democracy spring protest calling for reform and the restoration of the Voting Rights act. Many here support Bernie Sanders for president and criticized Corporate America and the antiwar Group Code Pink participated. Is this a good fit for the nonpartisan d. C. Vote . Any opportunity to elevate it to the new audiences is a good thing. This ended like every democracy bring protest this week with a large group of protesters arrested outside the capitol building. Thank you for taking a stand. Rosario dawson was among those arrested. They arrested hundreds of democracy spring protesters across the country and d. C. Vote hopes when they return home they will act as the ambassadors for d. C. Statehood. Mike carterconneen, abc7 news.

So you will find a om list on the website wjla. Com. Leon mike mentioned a moment ago but we have a different perspective on the fifth day protest at the capitol. Earlier today a dozen of democracy spring protesters utahed the zip ties to attach themselves to the scaffolding inside the rotunda. They supplied this video here that they were arrested by the Capitol Police in addition to 130 protesters arrested outside in a sitin. Tomorrow the protests will morph from spring to awakening with the three days of additional events. Alison the pictures of the university of the california davis, the students there being pepper sprayed. The images were seen by hundreds of people. Now the chancellor is under fire for spending 175,000 to have the consultants try to wipe the internet of the images. The problem that many say is the money used is money. Accept it and move on. Dont try to hide it. So many people are calling for the chancellor to step down. U. C. Spokesperson said the school and the chancellor worked to ensure reputation of the unive
