Manson, Watson, Atkins and Krewinkel were tried for the Tate-LaBianca murders in 1970, charged with 7 counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
The jury found all the defendants guilty for all 7 counts and initially sentenced the four to death. However, a 1972 Supreme Court ruling turned all death penalty convictions into life sentences.
Watson was tried separately for the same counts a year later, and was also found guilty of all crimes.
Beausoleil was charged with the murder of Gary Hinman. A jury found him guilty and sentenced him to the death penalty, which was later switched to a life sentence by the Supreme Court.
