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 Kings County marriage license, viewed 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. She maintains several websites advocating Manson's innocence.

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

Burton, who goes by the name "Star," told the AP that she and Manson will be married next month. "Y'all can know that it's true," she said. "It's going to happen."

"I love him," she added.

She clearly isn't committed to the relationship. No forehead swastika.

God her parents must be sooooo proud. Talk about an awkward Thanksgiving table.

Manson has been in and out of prison since he was 9 or 10 years old. I suspect he prefers it there.

As for people who argue that we should favor life in prison rather than execution because it is more cruel and painful, I don't think they really have a principled objection to execution. It's a stupid argument made by stupid people.

Consider yourself lucky, because you obviously obviously dodged a bullet. Marryng Charlie Manson says far more about her than you.

He was convicted because some mass murderers said he put them up to it. The evidence was crap; people just needed a devil, and he was convenient.

She DOES look like a clone of all the gullible young girls who fell under Manson's spell. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
