Charles Manson gets marriage license
CORCORAN, Calif. (AP) Mass murderer Charles Manson plans to marry a 26-year-old woman who left her Midwestern home and spent the past nine years trying to help exonerate him.
Afton Elaine Burton, the raven-haired bride-to-be, said she loves the man convicted in the notorious murders of seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.
No date has been set, but a wedding coordinator has been assigned by the prison to handle the nuptials, and the couple has until early February to get married before they would have to reapply.
The prospective bride and groom have near-matching carvings on their foreheads. Hers is an "X'' and his is an "X'' that was turned into a swastika after he carved it during his trial to show he was "X'ed out of society."

Too far-fetched, they'd say. Just not believable!!!

Which is not to absolve him of responsibility, of course. But he's simply, thoroughly fucked. Functioning in the real world was never a possibility for that guy.
