Linda Kasabian, key witness in trial that sent Charles Manson to prison, has died

The certificate noted that he had changed his last name to “Chiochios” ostensibly to protect his identity after disassociating himself with the Manson family.

Kasabian was given immunity in exchange for becoming a key prosecution witness in the 1970-1971 Manson trial. He participated in the 2 nights of mayhem perpetrated by Manson and his crazed henchmen who massacred 7 people in Los Angeles.

During 18 days of testimony, Kasabian described in graphic detail how the 1969 murders took place under Manson’s direction.

Kasabian testified that Charles “Tex” Watson took her, Patricia Krenwinkel and susan atkins to the filmmaker’s house Roman Polanski in Benedict Canyon. She testified that Tex, Krenwinkel and Atkins fatally shot and stabbed 5 victims, including Polanski’s pregnant wife, Sharon Tate.

Kasabian testified that he witnessed the bloodshed, but never physically hurt anyone.

Polanski was working on a film in Europe at the time his wife and unborn child were murdered.

In addition, Kasabian testified that she was the driver on the second night of the Manson murders, in which Leno and Rosemary LaBianca they were massacred inside their home in Los Angeles.

In the end, Kasabian’s crucial testimony sealed the fate of Manson and his accomplices, who were convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison.

Manson died in prison at age 83 after going into cardiac arrest due to complications from colon cancer in 2017.
