Chucky's in Love


http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f0c4673fda064cb0b1f6eccba6420862/ap-exclusive-charles-manson-gets-marriage-license

CORCORAN, Calif. (AP) — Mass murderer Charles Manson has gotten a license to marry a 26-year-old woman who visits him in prison.

The marriage license obtained Monday by The Associated Press was issued Nov. 7 for the 80-year-old Manson and Afton Elaine Burton, who left her Midwestern home nine years ago and moved to Corcoran, California — the site of the prison — to be near Manson.

It does not specify a wedding date and indicates the couple has 90 days to get married or they will have to reapply.

Burton gave an interview a year ago to Rolling Stone magazine in which she said she and Manson planned to marry. But Manson said then it was not true.

Burton, who goes by the name "Star," told the AP that she loves Manson and they will marry next month. She denied reports that he wasn't interested in marriage.

4. What is wrong with these women who marry serial rapists

and serial murderers after they've gone to prison for life usually? I can't figure out the reason for this. I can see how such a marriage would be of use to the prisoner, but the women? Also, wouldn't she be in danger of being harmed by some of Charlie's cuckoo girl friends that are still out there on the loose?

Think about it, no nubs in the sink, no nasty underwear on the doorknobs, no snoring, you always know where he is, the only time you need to look your best is visiting days through bulletproof glass, there will never be another woman, you never have to fear spousal abuse, and you get bragging rights to your perfect mate without having to shoulder the workload connected with one.

If Manson is ever paroled, it will be to a nursing home he is incapable of leaving.

This is one smart broad if she can get him to go through with it. However, this might be the one time in his long life that Manson has ever displayed good sense.

Plus art and music, he wasn't completely untalented. He can't profit from them. She could.

I think you're both right.

What do you get the guy who's been locked up for decades and his young bride? Kitchen Aid mixer, dinnerware, a living room rug made of human hair, oh and a Beatles boxed set of course.
